Imagine my horror and disappointment when I open and find it damaged in shipment! Luckily the honest seller refunded my money and I set out to find someone who would repair it. I found most antique places want bigger jobs, bigger furniture. When I found Jeff Johnson's website and read the reviews I thought.... I have nothing to lose.... Flash forward to the after photos (I uploaded so you can see for yourself) and it is beautifully restored. Not only is the chip fixed but he refinished everything so it looks better that ever. I would not hesitate to bring even my most prized antique to Jeff. Quality work, fast. tips - he seems to communicate best via email. This works for me but heads up if you are used to a voice on the phone. he has an arrangement with another company so that if he is out of the office you can leave things or pick up things. This is super convenient but struck me as a little odd. I guess I am just a cynical transplant from the north and I worried about security but it seems to be de rigueur here so I guess I just need to chill out and adjust! Excellent experience, honest talented and fast. See pictures for proof!

I hired Roto-Rooter for water mitigation services after a leak at my home in Durham, NC. While the…read moretechnician arrived promptly, the billing process has been deeply troubling. They began work without approval from me or my insurance company, and later classified the job as an "emergency" -- despite the fact that it was scheduled during regular business hours. This appears to have been a deliberate move to justify inflated charges. Their invoice included questionable fees: an unjustified emergency service charge, inflated equipment monitoring hours, and duplicate charges for equipment that may have simply been relocated between rooms. I submitted a detailed written dispute and requested a revised invoice. Despite multiple follow-ups, Roto-Rooter has not responded. To make matters worse, they submitted billing after my insurance claim was closed, meaning I'm now being asked to pay out-of-pocket for charges that should have been handled properly from the start. This lack of transparency and accountability is unacceptable. I'm sharing my experience to warn others: get everything in writing, scrutinize the invoice, and don't assume your insurance will cover what they bill.

UPDATE: Just wanted to add a chronological update on where…read morethings are now since I posted my original review - a request by Ron. On Apr 20 - Ron asked me if I want him to send the invoice for the remaining $250 and I reiterated that he still had things to fix as he promised to earn that money (Also pointed that out in the invoice he sent and I paid Apr 14 on the same day). On Apr 21 - Ron replied "Such a sad mistake" On Apr 22 - I receive an invoice for $250 final payment (Ron later claims that was auto generated) Apr 23-Apr 29 - (7 full days of no communication from Ron) Apr 30 - Ron sent me a message that he ordered a new box for the cabinet to make it work - he mentions my original review. Then says "I suppose I'll send the box back. But I really didn't think you were like that man. I wish you guys the best". Followed by "You going to update that?" a few mins later. I did not see his message until the weekend and was going to respond during the week. May 4&5 - We start communicating via yelp chat, communicating with Ron still difficult. Will not include all the details, but in summary the good thing is he has acknowledged the alignment issue and that I do not need to pay the $250 until the alignment issue with the sink is addressed (Reason I am bumping the rating to 3 stars). I in return will be waiting for a written proposal from him on the work that needs to be done to address the alignment and a timeline from him. May 8 - Ron replied back to my review update with a claim that "This review was posted before the job was complete. As noted by the reviewer themselves, they were instructed to withhold the final $250 until the last minor alignment touch-up was finished. That was a professional courtesy--not a refusal to finish the job. It ensured the client had leverage and zero risk. We never asked for full payment before the work was completed.". This would have been true if he did not turn around and said otherwise on April 15. I am attaching a screenshot of a txt message from Ron where he claims that the work was already completed. Original Review posted Apr 20, 2025: Found out about them on yelp with all 5 star reviews - now all of those gone? Scope of work was Repair cabinet, floor, faucet, subfloor, remediation, and other items damaged due to water leak. They quoted a price of 4-5k for all the work. So on the good part.. work looks good on floor replacement of 17 boards (boards were extras from original install), repaired cabinet box looked good pre-install. They were able to start work immediately on the same day which a few other companies were not able to do. Now on the bad part.. really bad communication/scheduling - Alan did most of the work but comms went through Ron. There were multiple times where I expected them to show up but they never did and getting clarity on scheduling was really bad. I understand people get sick and other possible life events but at the very least let people know you won't be able to make in the original day/time provided. In addition the final price (5750) was provided via txt on the day they were supposed to finish up, Alan and another person was in the house trying to complete the work but did not mention anything while the new price came from Ron which I did not see until the next day. I undestand that projects overshoot cost but the way they did it without confirmation and timing was really bad. Now the worst part is they refuse to fix an alignment issue on the sink based on how they installed it. Even after Ron agreed that Alan will fix it (holding 250 back until he does) on the same day they completed install. They then said it was because of the new faucet (It is not). Now they are insisting that work was properly done and to pay the remaining 250. Neutral part - they ended up not having to replace the subfloor because things dried up pretty good supposedly after they ran the dehumidifier unit under the crawl space for a few days and then moved it up to the kitchen for a few more days but the floor boards were glued down which made a labor/cost a wash according to Ron. Things look weird on how they redid the sink support and plumbing but I guess it works (planning to get things inspected)? Originally told about a week to fix everything but work (excluding alignment issue) finished in a little over 2 weeks still not too bad hence neutral on my end. On hindsight, I should have insisted on a written contract which would have brought clarity on scope and timing of work or even a t&m contract instead.
