I reached out to Marco after reviewing the impressive samples of his work on his website and we couldn't be happier with the result. Two things became abundantly clear while talking to Marco about our door after he completed his inspection: (1) the man loves his work; and (2) he is a craftsman. Marco took ample time to explain what issues he found with our door and explain what his restoration process would entail, in addition to answering my questions that came up as he went along. In about a week, Marco renovated our door from its sun and water-damaged state to looking like it had just rolled out of the factory with a striking new finish that he created on the spot. The refinished door has transformed our front doorway and makes it pop in a way that it hasn't at any point since we bought the house. I highly recommend contacting Marco.

Over the years, we have worked closely with Luis, and a few qualities have consistently stood out: he is always punctual, offers fair pricing, and delivers remarkable results. This time, we decided to move forward with a project Luis recommended: refinishing one of the wood laminate kitchen countertops in our rental unit. Initially, I expected the result to look like a simple repaint, especially considering how worn and faded the laminate surface had become. However, once I saw the finished work, I could hardly believe my eyes. It genuinely looked as though we had replaced the countertop with granite. The finish appeared solid, durable, and waterproof. Luis and his team did an outstanding job. I was truly blown away by both the quality of the workmanship and the final result. I only wish I had taken before-and-after photos, but judging by the many client photos already available, you can clearly see the level of quality they consistently deliver. Would I use Always Refinishing again and highly recommend their work? Absolutely: 100%.

Absolutely Outstanding Craftsmanship and Service!…read more Working with Parkman Woodwork team was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Throughout the entire process, Graham and team were incredibly communicative, professional, and flexible with every request I made for my custom coffee table. It truly felt like a collaborative experience -- they took the time to listen, adjust, and ensure every detail was just right. The wood itself is gorgeous -- rich, high-quality, and clearly chosen with care. The craftsmanship is second to none. You can tell that what they build isn't just furniture, it's functional art. What really blew me away was the thoughtful touch of including a personalized after-care and maintenance guide specifically for my coffee table. That level of attention shows how much pride they take in their work and how much they care about their customers' experience long after delivery. I can't recommend Parkman Woodwork enough. If you're looking for something beautiful, custom, and built to last -- this is the team to trust.

Immediately after…read morereaching out, Graham was in touch about a consultation call, talking about what we were looking for, different styles, and got us a quote more or less immediately. Having seen what they'd done for other clients, we didn't have much doubt and pulled the trigger and couldn't be happier we did. They put together some renderings for us with measurements and notes, and when a couple of the items weren't quite what we envisioned they immediately changed the renderings to our specs and sent over the new revisions. They really worked with us to ensure that the product we got was the one that would make us happiest. It took about 3 months for us to receive the final product, but once we did it was beautiful, even better than what we'd pictured. It's definitely the centerpiece of our conference room and almost every client remarks on it. I also want to add that only a few weeks in, we had a brief issue where some epoxy fell from a slot in the bottom of the table. It wasn't anything structural, and it happens from time to time so I mostly just wanted to make sure we got it repaired. I called up Graham and he made it happen immediately. Since we're based in San Diego and PW is in LA, he found a solid woodworker down here and arranged for him to come (at cost) and fix it up for us, which made us feel really valued as a customer. Overall, definitely recommend these guys and their product. The next time I need a custom piece, I'll definitely return!

I had an excellent experience w/ having them reupholstering a large modular sofa, made up of 3 sections. They are complete professionals. I had a bit of a problem, because the sample of fabric that I liked was lighter in color than the large roll that the fabric factory sent to the Guzman Studio for my sofas. I explained to Rene that even though the colors were similar, the only reason we were reupholstering was that our sofas were too dark, and that I didn't approve of the different shade. He contacted the fabric company, had them accept the fabric as a return, and had them send me a different sample, w/ a written guaranty that the sample I approved of was from the same dye lot as the bolt of fabric they provided to Rene. I was very impressed w/ how Rene handled this problem when it occurred, and would absolutely use them again w/ any furniture reupholstering I may need in the future. I recommend them highly. read more

Working with Rene was fantastic. The quality of his craftsmanship was exactly what we were looking for when cleaning up our dining room table and chairs. From my first phone call through delivery, Rene showed us he was interested in making sure we were pleased and he totally overdelivered. He and his team came to our home for pick up and delivery and made everything about this process easy. As for pricing, I would describe Rene as flexible and reasonable considering the quality of his work. I would not hesitate to work with him again. read more

I am so happy I found Rene through two prominent Interior Designers for repairing an antique stool, one of a pair from 1905. They were brought over from Scotland by family and while I had them recovered years ago the leg was in trouble. Rene was prompt and gracious and repaired the piece exactly as the other one had decades ago, only better. I trust this man and with a lot of 19th and early 20th century pieces I am very happy with his workmanship. I highly recommend him and I know I'll use him again! read more
