    Side view of nightstand before refinishing...
    Deborah C.

    I decided rather than purchasing 2 new nightstands, that I would have them refinished to match the new dresser we purchased. Finding a refinishing place that could lighten the wood to the proper color was not easy. But Amy at Sparky's Refinishing took on our job with enthusiasm and confidence. Unfortunately I forgot to bring her the dresser drawer to use to match the color but Amy volunteered to come by and pick it up from my home for me for no extra charge. Not only did she do an amazing job, but she was a pleasure and fun to work with. Very competitive pricing and an immaculate job! Thank you sooo much!

    Before

    We have a 60 year old dresser that was showing its age and thought we would replace it but could not find anything that was well built in our price range. We found Amy and sent her some photos of what we were hoping to do. She did an amazing job and we love the result!! Best of all, she was so great to work with. She followed up quickly and was as excited as we were about our project - great experience!!! check out my before and after photos!

    Before

    We took our old 30's era radio to Sparkey' and she brought it back to life. Excellent work. The greatest compliment is a repeat customer. We are bringing her our old buffet next.

    Great value and amazing job! I never expected to get what I got. I would refer again and again. The pictures say it all!

    After Amy's talented work.

    See all

    Kevin is the real deal, a furniture restorer, a craftsman and an artist. See BEFORE and AFTER…read morepictures. Bottom line: I don't believe anyone else in San Diego could do what he did. DETAILS: We had a disaster with our large, built-in bathroom vanity. Shampoo had spilled and wasn't discovered for months, causing extensive damage to 5 components: a large supporting vertical piece, the supporting bottom piece running the entire width of the vanity, a cabinet door, a drawer cover, and the drawer. I called numerous woodworkers, handymen, specializing in wood, cabinet makers, and cabinet companies. Most suggested cutting out pieces, patch-ups and coverups. Those that had a well-known reputation were concerned about the vanity's structural integrity. One suggested adding another bottom support, which would have completely changed the look and feel. An extremely reputable cabinet company told us they wouldn't even try because they weren't confident that they could remove the supporting vertical piece. THEN WE FOUND KEVIN. He didn't patch it. He didn't coverup damage. He didn't change the design. He restored it. In my opinion, Kevin is a true craftsman and artist, and probably a one-and-only. He told me his grandfather taught him the trade beginning when he was a young boy. His skill, patience, and attention to detail are extraordinary. Look at the photos. They tell the story. You will see what Kevin was up against. and that he gave us back our disaster as good as when we had it custom built almost 20 years ago (and better than prior to the damage).

    I hired Kevin to put my rolltop desk back together which he did fine. But then he noticed a spot on…read moremy desktop and said it was an ugly repair and he could make it beautiful. However it turned out even uglier in my opinion. He said if you looked at it from straight on it would not be noticeable, which is true, but from other angles it is a glaring eyesore. He did not tell me it would be beautiful only from one angle and I am very disappointed. So frankly I would not hire him for a repair. This is a reply to your offer. Thank you for your offer to redo the work, but when I expressed concerns after your initial repair, that would have been the time to discuss alternative approaches. At the time you left me with that was just the way it was because of the way light is refracted. I tried to ignore it but it leaps out at you every time you walk by. It is much worse than it was before and 4 times larger. I hired another company to come out and see what they could do. Although their repair still isn't perfect, it is significantly less noticeable. At this point, I don't feel confident that another attempt would achieve the results I would like.

    We own a beautiful, old, rosewood secretary that was handed down for ages on my husband's side of…read morethe family. The poor old thing (the secretary) was really showing her age with years of touching up, damage and oxidation. She was long overdue for a rehaul. I found AAA on Yelp and texted Keith. His response was quick and honest and he was willing to take the job on at a very reasonable cost, and referred me to Stan. Stan was also quick to respond and we arranged a time for pick up and an ETA. Stan contacted us anytime he had a question about something and sent pics of her in progress. After about 2 to 3 weeks, he was ready to bring her back and we were extremely flabbergasted at how gorgeous she had turned out. When you have a piece of furniture so long and it looks so worn, it's hard to imagine what it could look like beautified. I am attaching before and after pics to show what wonderful work they did, which included completely stripping her, which Stan said was VERY labor-intensive. She was covered in old varnish and old polish. I digress. Here are the pics, and a very high recommendation for AAA.

    Recently as a result of an upstairs water leak that caused damage to the furniture in our dining…read moreroom we contacted AAA Woodcrafters to restore our furniture. Although I can't comment on the cost since it was covered by insurance, the workmanship was top quality. Keith refinished our 12 foot wood veneer dining room table, two credenzas, a two piece China cabinet, and reupholstered ten dining room chairs. In addition to the excellent work we were appreciative with the speed in which it was completed. He always promptly responded to any of our inquiries. We also appreciated his willingness to hold our furniture while other work was being completed.
