Who knew that furniture disassembly and reassembly was a thing? I certainly didn't until I treated…read moremyself to an extra cozy Boston Interiors sectional and the sofa portion wouldn't fit up my front or back staircase. Whoops! I had already been waiting two months for delivery, so to say I was disappointed is an understatement. Then the panic kicked in. Since it was a custom sectional, I would get majorly dinged if I returned it. But what other options were there? That's where Melo and Sons came in. The delivery guy put me on the phone with his manager to talk it over. Yes, returning the sectional was an option, as was taking out my dining room window to bring the sofa portion in that way (hell no!) Or... I could have some pros disassemble it at their warehouse then reassemble it in my living room. Of my three options, the third was the winner by a longshot. As I was the first delivery of the day, I patiently waited until Melo and Sons opened then gave them a ring. Joanne immediately answered and put my nerves at ease. It was obvious I wasn't the first numpty to purchase a too big piece of furniture that needed saving by them. After providing her all the requested information, I had a delivery date for about three weeks out. By the time my Boston Interiors salesperson called to discuss the failed delivery, everything was already tucked and tied with Melo and Sons. When the big day finally arrived, Mike and George showed up right on time and quickly got to work. They laid down moving blankets to protect the floor then brought up the disassembled sofa in several carefully wrapped pieces. Aside from being the consummate professionals, they were funny to boot. It took them less than two hours to reassemble the sofa and at long last reunite it with its other half. That evening, after three long months, I finally got to relax on and enjoy my sectional in its full glory. All thanks to Melo and Sons and their niche specialty.

This review is long over due! Melo & Sons saved the day by helping us move a large couch into our…read moresmall third floor apartment in October 2024. The team was able to take it apart in Ipswich, bring the pieces to my new apartment in Beverly, and rebuild it in my living room.

I had a family heirloom that was essentially a museum piece mailed up to him from Florida. He was honest in his pricing and assessment and made sure that he explained everything he planned to do in depth so that I understood the process. He also was honest about timing which I greatly appreciated. Perhaps one of the best things besides the fact that the piece now looks immaculate is that he helped me with shipping and delivery of the secretaire to my house. I was pulling my hair out stressing about how I would get that part done, but lo and behold Matt has the perfect guys for the job. Every step of this process was easy and stress free. I wouldn't look anywhere else.

Ed worked with us to design and build beautiful built in bookshelves and cabinets that perfectly fit the space (with all of its uneven surfaces!), and even included a custom litter box space for our discerning felines. He also adjusted the electrical outline to accommodate the new built-ins, and, with a newborn in the house, we appreciated that he did as much work as possible ahead of time! We would trust him, and his design recommendations, for any future project. We keep staring at the bookshelves, saying to each other how great they look!

Very Happy with RWB. When some appliance delivery/installers from the Big Box retailer in the area…read moredamaged my grandmother's hutch I was distraught with the damage inflicted. I called Restorers without Borders and they explained to me the process. They will come to the house, do the estimate and take the piece. There's a charge for this of course and I understood this. This charge is applied towards any work you do, and I knew I was going to get this piece repaired so I accepted this. They came to the house and described exactly what they could do and offered me several options on fixing the other flaws in the piece. While I was arguing with the delivery company on coverage, RWB held my piece for several weeks in their shop. I gave them the go ahead to do the work after a few weeks, and I have to say, good things come to those who wait. They delivered my piece yesterday and I have to say, it looks better than ever, and they even fixed a bunch of other issues with the table free of charge! They exceeded my expectations. They did a fantastic job, I honestly cannot even believe how they matched the finish and wood inlays of a piece of furniture that is 80+ years old. They aren't the cheapest, but for things that carry enormous sentimental value, who cares. If you have furniture you really care about, these are the guys you should use. They have been very honest and up front from the beginning. The guys that actually do the work come out to look at your furniture and they are the ones delivering it. So they really care on how careful they are with the delivery and handling of your furniture. I'm sure they aren't the cheapest, and they are probably aren't the fastest. But if being done right and quality are the most important to you, then these are the guys to use. Period end. Thank you again RWB, my grandmother would be thrilled. Now I need to yell at the kids to keep their hands off that nice table I just had fixed!
