    I found Restorations Unlimited on Yelp! and decided to give them a try. What a hidden treasure! I took an old family chair in to have some structural damage repaired and the upholstery redone. Owner Bill Shotwell advised me on how much fabric would be needed, discussed what my repair options were when working with a mid-19th century chair, and gave me an estimate based on the best-case scenario. A week after I brought the chair in, it was back in my house and looks terrific. (Your time frame may differ. I was lucky enough to hit a slow time in the upholstery shop.) The craftsmanship involved in repairing and reupholstering my chair was impeccable. It's probably not a valuable antique, but Restorations Unlimited treated it as if it were. Unlike what often happens with other repair services, they found no "surprises" in the interior of the chair, and the final bill reflected the original estimate I was given. Restorations Unlimited has worked with some very high-profile clients, as you will see on the walls of the shop when you go in. And if you've got a piece that's seen better days, you really do want to go in. Bill and his crew will take good care of you, and (as an added bonus) you'll learn a lot about the fine art of furniture restoration.

    I recently needed a table tile repaired after it had been cracked in half. It went to the coffee table in my dining room. I contacted the store I originally bought the table from, but they discontinued making it years ago and had no replacement parts. I contacted a few local furniture repair places, but no one did the kind of repair I needed. I came across Restorations while doing some online searching. I emailed them and they responded back the same day letting me know they could make the repair. After only a few days the tile was returned to me in one piece. They did great work! I'm extremely happy because I've had the table for more than 12 years and really did not want to have to get rid of it. Certainly check this place out if you need good furniture repair work done.

    I took in a 1939 Royal Air Force clock I bought at auction. Bill gave me a written quote to fill in a gouge in the wood, strip and refinish everything except the box, and polish the clock hands. He needed to get information from a vender in order to give me a quote on completely redoing the clock face like new. He clearly stated at this point that he wouldn't start work until he got the full quote. He even wrote it on the work order, "50% to start." I then went home and talked it over with my wife. We agreed that $925 + taxes and fees, not including whatever the clock face would cost, was just too much right now (we just found out we're having another baby and didn't need the extra expense). When he called to give me the rest of the quote, he told me his son had already started working on it and it looked great. I immediately freaked out because I was about to tell him we didn't want to go through with it. After I told him we didn't want to do it, he said I could come look at it on Saturday and take it home in pieces. When I got there, he refused to give me the clock unless I paid him $600 cash. The work order/receipt says they take credit or debit card, but he refused to take mine. He also said I could take him to small claims court. We considered that, but in the end we just wanted the clock back and wanted to avoid the hassle, so I paid him the $600. Bottom line, I believe they made the mistake to start working on a project that we didn't authorize, and they wouldn't admit to any wrongdoing. They may have 46 years of experience, but this time, in my opinion, they got it wrong. I'll go somewhere else for my next project.

    First of all, Bob McCann, the owner/proprietor is legitimately the nicest, most charming, and…read moreenthusiastic person ever. He loves what he does, and he enjoys talking about and showing off his numerous projects. Check out the book in his shop that shows the kind of work that he's done. This man is living the dream - he's doing what he loves, with incredible attention to detail. He's not doing it for massive profits, but because he really, really loves his work. And though he's an amazing restorer, he is most enthusiastic about repurposing older pieces to fit your current lifestyle. Ask him about his pump organ projects - something that was basically broken down and unusable was repurposed into a desk with hidden cubbies and secret panels like something out of that National Treasure movie. Which led me to basically dream planning having one of this pump organs be redesigned into a goth themed vanity of my dreams. Never mind that I live in a studio. And I was SHOCKED at how low the starting price for a project like that was - seriously, he is undercharging for the kind of work he does. I am seriously considering getting rid of my couch and tv cabinet just to make room for his custom vanity with secret cubbies and hidden drawers and expandable table tops. But if you're not ready for that and are looking for someone to fix/restore/recane/refinish cherished family pieces or even fix up that flea market find, Mr. McCann is your guy. He's a freaking treasure and he's absolutely worth the drive out to visit for a consult (or even just a chat )

    I got Bob's number from a Pier1 Imports patron when chatting about having some antique furniture…read morepieces restored. I held onto his info and reached out to him to have him restore a 55 year old mid century one piece sofa sectional. It was my Dad's bachelor sofa. 10ft long. Over the years my folks had it reupholstered 3xs. When i inherited I had it done boldly in red Naugahyde. That was 21 years ago. Iron Gate Antiques just reupholstered in recycled leather and they added a lil height lift to it because she was a low rider. It's beautiful. The entire gang at Iron Gate made this project so much fun to do and I'm so pleased with the work they did abs the outcome
