Ray Spencer did an awesome job refinishing our two old Stickley recliners. These chairs were pretty worn out, and now they look brand new. The wood looks great, the finish is super clean, and they kept the classic Stickley vibe while making everything feel fresh again. Ray was easy to work with, kept us updated, and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. We're really happy with how everything turned out and would definitely recommend them if you need furniture restored or refinished. read more

My wife's favorite chair is a vintage Japanese designer rocking chair - it's really quite amazing. The frame snapped on one side as you can see in the photos. Ray glued it up quickly and excellently. Price was reasonable and as quoted. Highly recommend. read more

While moving to Washington from California, my 40 year old rocking chair was damaged. Being new to the area I found Ray online and requested a quote. Compared to some of the others I received, his prices seemed the fairest for the work being done. He was quick to respond to all my questions. We brought the chair to his place and he was upfront about the time it would take to get it back, as he was leaving on a vacation before he could start on the chair. I really appreciated it. He is really informal, which I like, some people might not be comfortable with this. Once he completed the work, he contacted us for pickup and the results were great! You can't even tell it was broken. It's been tested by 3 rambunctious kiddos! Thanks Ray! When I'm ready to have it refinished I'll be calling read more

I had damage to 2 fairly expensive pieces of furniture from my dog chewing on them. Ray did an amazing job. He was quick and efficient. Both turned out fantastic. You cannot tell any damage was ever done. I highly recommend Ray's services. read more

We found Ray mentioned on a local blog with glowing reviews. We have a pair of MCM chairs my Godmother brought in 1952. He pulled them apart and regular and secured everything. Great shop. Quick turn around. They are almost new. read more

I have a custom-made, imported table that had some finish scuffed off and a dent that I hired Ray to repair because he was highly recommended. The finish on it is very complex and intricate (several layers), but Ray assured me he had the right skills to fix it. When Ray showed up to fix it, I paid him up front for the work (my mistake). He filled the dent and painted on a "match" to the finish which looks like trying to paint a person's face in on a photograph. It sticks out like a sore thumb. Ray said that this was just because the gloss hadn't been properly matched, so it needed to dry and he'd come back at a later date to do a coat of enamel to finish it off. I took him at his word that this would be a viable solution. Well, weeks later Ray finally came back and he tried again. He sprayed a huge area (3'x3') with enamel to coat a 1"x1" dent. Said he needed to to blend it. Now a chunk of the table is coated in a weird gloss and doesn't match the rest of it at all. Ray worked for a few minutes, said he'd have to try one more time at a later date and said he'd come back. This is when it started to go down hill. My assumption here is that Ray started to realize that he did not do a very good job repairing the table and was starting to make it worse. Rather than just fess up to it, he started avoiding my calls to schedule a third appointment. I called and emailed him several times before he finally called me back. The first time we set up his 3rd arrival, he gave me a window of 12pm-2pm for arrival. I called him at 1:50pm to see if he was still showing up - no answer, so I made plans to do something. He finally called me at 2:10pm to say he was running late and would be there in another half hour or 45 minutes. Well, it was outside of the window and I had other arrangements, so I asked him if we could reschedule. He said yes. We rescheduled for 10am the next morning. He actually said "around 10. I'd actually like to come earlier" I said that's fine. 10 came and went then finally at 10:15am he calls me to say he's running late again (he took another client before me despite saying he was wide open that morning) and would be another 45 minutes - fully knowing I told him I had a hard stop at 11:15am that morning. I told him this wouldn't work and we'd need to reschedule - again. I pointed out to him that this had been the 2nd time that he missed his own time window and Ray just lost it. He started rambling about how he was doing me a favor coming back to finish the job; like I was supposed feel grateful that he was finishing something I already paid him to do and said he was too busy to deal with me anymore so he told me to go and find someone else to correct it. I tried to very calmly say that I would prefer if he would just show up when promised, but he was already irate at this point and refused to discuss this matter further. So, now I'm stuck with a table that is half coated in enamel and looks terrible, so I have to find a real professional to fix this. This was clearly beyond the scope of his work and rather than confess, he became angry when he was unable to do the job properly. If you ever hire this individual, make sure it's for something simple that he has proven he can do in the past, otherwise you may be disappointed like I am. Also be aware that he doesn't respect other people's time. Not good, Ray! read more

Ray Spencer is the epitome of professionalism and a true master craftsman. We have known Ray for over a decade and we couldn't imagine calling upon someone else when it comes to touch up work. Ray takes the time to educate and explain the process to his customers. In turn, this establishes trust in his workmanship and sets the stage for the remainder of the project. In all our time working with Ray, we have never received feedback of a job not completed to a customers satisfaction. Ray is a joy to work with and we are very thankful for his services. read more

I own a cleaning company and have a client who has some very special and expensive furniture that was damaged by an employee of mine. I called Ray and he set up a time to complete the repairs. I was a bit apprehensive because my client is quite particular. Ray did an excellent job! I was very happy with his work as was my client. I'll definitely call Ray for any other work that I need completed. read more

Bought a designer dining table on Craigslist, it was marked down for a gouge on the tabletop. Thought the mar would not bother me, but it did. The table is very heavy, so it would have been difficult to pick it up and take it to a refinisher. In searching reviews, I found Ray Spencer and his mobile services. I called Ray after seeing his website. He was helpful in explaining the process and setting an appointment. He called before coming to my home, to make sure I knew exactly when he would be there. First, he is the kind of person you like in your home. Nice personality and easy to talk to. He assessed my table and got to work. Really, it was magical watching him transform that table. He has a stunning wood box, from which he employs a variety of tools and potions to work with. The table is beautiful; one really cannot tell where the hole was before. He is an amazing craftsman. I am so pleased with my experience. Based on my experience, I recommend him for your furniture. I have a dresser I have already scheduled him for in the future. read more

I have used Ray Spencer Enterprises more than once. Ray's workmanship is excellent! And besides that he is reliable and trustworthy.

We moved from California to Sequim WA. During the move a desk that was precious to my wife(belonged to the father when he was young) was scratched very deeply in many places. Ray set a scheduled a set time and date to arrive and evaluate the damage and complete the repairs. He arrived as scheduled and us several choices, and explained each. We chose to have him make the repairs at our home, and the work began. Ray made the repairs in a timely manner, and amazed us on how excellent the repairs were accomplished, it was almost impossible to determine where the repairs were made. Ray was so polite and eager to please us with his workmanship. He answered any and all questions we had. He was a joy to work with. I would recommend Ray to anyone who is looking for excellent work.

I am so grateful I found Ray. He did an amazing job refinishing my walnut credenza and beautiful round wood table - both genuine mid-century modern. They look so great and I am so happy with how they turned out. Ray was quick to return phone calls and emails, only had my furniture for a couple of days, gave me a great tip on where I could get glass toppers made (thank you white center glass) and arranged delivery when it was completed. He did a fabulous job and I highly recommend him!! read more

I thought the severely damaged furniture would never be quite the same, but Ray is an artist with wood repair. He filled the gouge and built up the large missing piece of curved edge on our sleigh bed, anchored it with a screw, shaped it perfectly, then went to work with his artist's palette to paint perfectly matching wood grain. Ray can save your damaged furniture. read more

Ray Spencer is a master at furniture repair! I had an antique Welsh Cupboard which was damaged in a recent move. My mother had just given it to me, and I was heartbroken when it arrived all banged up. It had fairly wide spread damage. Within only a bit longer than a week, Ray restored it completely to it's former glory (and beyond). I almost never write reviews, but this one is well deserved. Ray was a pleasure to have in my home and the outcome surpassed my expectations. read more
