Got a very reasonable quote from Marcus and I appreciated that they offered pickup and delivery for an additional fee. It's back to brand new and I'm so glad I went the repair route with Marcus instead of buying something new at 10x the price and made of worse quality. Definitely recommend!

Donna was extremely kind and helpful throughout the process. She gave practical advice, and spent a long time looking through upholstery samples with us. We decided to completely strip the wood to reveal the natural wood grain, re-glued, and reupholstered both pieces. All the work was done in approx two weeks, and all correspondence was answered promptly. We are over the moon with the results. The colors are stunning, and great care was taken to line up the complex pattern of the upholstery with the tufting. Excellent service and excellent results. We will be back with future products. Highly recommend.

In 2024 a friend of mine, a 1985 World Champion Chicago Bear--Shaun Gayle, with an assist from my…read morelaw partner, Dan O'Brien, surprised me with a placement of a beautiful teak wood park bench along the Chicago River by the Centennial Fountain in memory of my mother, Angeline Winters, who passed away at age 93 in October, 2023. I have lived at my condo about a block away and for the last 30 years and for the last 15 years of my mother's life she lived with me as she was handicapped and used a wheelchair. Well, the spot where my friend placed the bench was exactly where I would wheel her out for the fireworks every Wednesday and sometimes on Saturday. Well, because it is a beautiful bench and had a plaque with my Mom's name it is used quite often and sometimes people do not respect the bench and so it was wearing down and I needed to have it sanded and retained.... I talked with friends and searched the internet quite thoroughly and found Chicago Wood Refinishing. I saw the website and the work that they displayed and decided to give them a chance and met with Kevin....actually, Kevin came to me at the site of the bench and surveyed the bench's condition and told me what they would be able to do to restore the bench to its original condition. Kevin came out a second time and removed the bench planks and took them back to their business offices, where he and his father did a phenomenal job in bringing the color and quality of the bench back to its first day it was displayed to me in July 2024. Kevin and his dad are fine craftsmen when it comes to wood....any kind of wood. Now my Mom's bench is back in use for those who want a place to sit and think....or to watch the fireworks on Wednesday and sometimes, Saturday night. If you do, you will not only see the quality work they performed, but you just might meet me...watching the fireworks with my Mom. Thank you Kevin and father at Chicago Wood Refinishing.
