Absolutely outstanding workmanship. Thomas and his team recently stripped and refinished an entire dining room set for our family. I could not be happier with the end result.

Restored 100 year old French Provençal coffee table.

What a beautiful job. It all turned out really well. We wanted to restore our antiques, but you're never really sure what you can actually do with them in your environment. The beautiful work inspired us to think outside the box and do something fun with. The flowers on the coffee table became bushes the lion was hiding within. Overall, the work was done beautifully and truly fits in our environment. It was great working with Tom and Roger who love antiques and love the restoration process and that shows it in their work. The photo is of our 100+ year old French Provincial coffee table.

I had an heirloom table I wanted painted and they offered me a great price. The table looks beautiful and exactly like how I wanted it. Had to wait longer than was quoted, but it was definitely worth the wait. I'm very happy with the finished product.

Now

Thomas was not only a pleasure to work with but he also transformed my second hand piano that has been in my family for 42 years into a mid century modern masterpiece. He is a master of his trade.

I randomly reached out to Thomas because in a recent move my movers were unable to get a 100yr old armoire into my new home. Spoke to Thomas on the phone, knew the piece and how it came apart so I hired home to help me with it. Couldn't be happier with my results. The piece comes apart like a jigsaw puzzle but he disassembled and reassembled it in no time, then gave me some great advice to recondition it a bit. Really good guy and amazing work! M

I have used their services and liked the quality and attention to details they provided us with. Tom, the owner is a true professional who cares about what he does. He's very upfront and tells you about the services and his fees right after he sees the job. No surprises or later discoveries or hidden fees. My wife and I recommend him highly.

Excellent job fixing a split in the wood.

My niece just got married and it was really important to her to have something that belonged to her grandfather at the wedding reception. I really wanted to use my fathers childhood desk at the reception for the guestbook but it was cracked and I was worried about damaging it further. Luckily we found Thomas Craven wood finishers, it was very last minute but he understood the importance of what I needed and although they were super busy they were able to get my dads desk fixed just in time for the wedding and did a fantastic job! I am very grateful for their time and understanding!

BEFORE!!!

I don't think I have to say much. Please look at the before and after photos. I'm beyond happy with the work that was done!!! Will definitely go back!!! Thank you!!!

Table refinished with an additional leaf.

My wife decided it was time to refinish our dining table that her father built as a wedding present in 1987. She wanted it stained a darker color from the original honey oak color. Since it is a very valuable piece of furniture in our house, we were hesitant to entrust anyone to work on it. My wife researched and found Thomas on Yelp. He came out to inspect the table and confirmed the estimate quoted over the phone and took possession of the table to bring to his shop. My wife had purchased new chairs and wanted the table color to match. I dropped off a chair at the shop as Thomas wanted to make sure the table was stained/finished the same color. The match was perfect. My wife is extremely happy with the finished product as the result is beautiful. Thomas is very personable and a true professional at what he does. Thank you Thomas!

Great-grandpa's rocking chair

I entrusted my 150-year-old rocking chair that my great-grandfather made to them. They gave me several options and discussed each process with me. They also recommended an excellent upholstery service to do that part of the restoration. I remember this chair at my grandfather's house 60 years ago - I have never seen it look better than it does today. Absolutely fabulous work.

before and after

SO incredibly thrilled with the work that Thomas and his amazing team did with our furniture. They refinished an antique table and chairs that we have had for decades but was in dire need of a refresh and boy did they deliver!! Amazing attention to detail, awesome to work with. Would recommend again and again.

Before

I brought my newly purchased (used) celestian speaker cabinets to Thomas for refinishing, they do not make these anymore and I wanted them to look great again. Thomas and his team of experts repaired all the dents,dings,chips and scratches from them and custom mixed a beautiful black cherry stain sealed and clear coated them that in person look UNBELIEVABLE! Thanks again,Thomas for your attention to detail and making these better than new! If you are on the fence about using Thomas for your project " GET OFF OF IT" you wont be disappointed!

See all

I gave Roger our vintage Danish dining room chair that had a broken leg at its compass design joint- very tricky.

Our project manager, Eder, was fantastic to work with from start to finish. He was extremely communicative and stayed on top of every detail. Choosing the right flooring is a big decision, and Eder was incredibly patient while we weighed our options, even providing full sample boxes so we could see how the wood looked in our own light. One thing we really appreciated was Eder's transparency. Before the installation began, he walked the house with us and highlighted specific areas that needed extra attention. Being aligned on the solutions beforehand saved us a lot of stress and ensured there were no surprises mid-project. The crew was efficient and actually finished the entire job ahead of the original schedule. During the final walkthrough, we identified a few minor items that needed touching up. Eder handled these immediately and was more than happy to ensure every detail met our expectations. If you are looking for a professional team that prioritizes communication and quality finishes, I highly recommend Sequoia Flooring. Ask for Eder!

The whole process was made so simple and seamless and was complete within 2.5 weeks (from quote date to completion of the process).

It looks ugly and old and inconsistent with the rest of the house. I thought about spending a fortune on replacing all the cabinetry, but then I found C&D Refinishings on Yelp. I've had the absolute best experience with them! They are a true mom and Pop outfit, two people who are artists and who do their work with deep passion, not some big corporation that's out for your money. They reached out to me immediately after I contacted them on yelp. We texted back-and-forth with what my needs are. They closely examined all of my photos. They arrived promptly to examine my bathroom at home and the very same day dismantled it and took everything with them. Within just a few weeks, they were back better than you. You cannot tell that these are not new cabinets. See my photos attached. They take great pride in their work as their work is very detailed. They may not do it the next day, but it's worth the wait because they put a huge amount of effort into their work with fine attention to detail. Equally importance, they are deeply professional, and the nicest people on earth. You're going to have a very good experience with them. Their price was exceptional as well. I'll be using this company for all of my future refinishing needs.

Our wood floors were last refinished 18 years ago, when we first moved into our 1958 house. While…read moremany areas had only minor wear, the area under the dining table had suffered a lot of damage, with bare wood exposed in several places. We were looking for someone to do a general buff and finish on all the hardwood, but also with a specific focus on fixing the dining area. Of the five businesses I contacted, four said they would not do a partial sand/stain, but would only redo all of the flooring, sanding and restaining everything, which would have been far more than we were planning on spending for this project. Wilmer of Better Surfaces and Services was the only one willing to work with us on what we wanted. He was very upfront about the potential issue with a visual difference between the restained dining area and the existing stained flooring, but also discussed how he would do his best to mix the new stain so that it matched as close as possible, and work on the transition area to minimize any difference. I hope the pictures show what an amazing job Wilmer and his team did. The pictures were taken at different times of day, but they are all of the dining area, which needed the most work. In fact, one of my relatives was thoroughly confused upon seeing the final result: she knew we had planned on just refinishing, but upon seeing the floor, thought they must have instead replaced the dining area with all new hardwood! In addition to the great work, Wilmer was very good about addressing all of our concerns and keeping us up to date on the work, as we had to be out of town during all of it. His employees were very conscientious about locking up our house when they were done each day (my friend let them in every morning). I still can't quite get over how beautiful and new our hardwood looks! Thanks for everything, Wilmer!

Not only were they thorough in explaining the estimate and repair process, they followed up multiple times to try and schedule an appointment -- only wish grandma would have put in her hearing aids a little sooner to answer their calls! Ultimately, she decided that purchasing a new vinyl recliner might be more frugal but is looking forward to having them come out and repair a leather recliner once she's got her new furniture delivered. Very satisfied with their professionalism and genuine kindness towards my almost 90 year young grandmother. Thanks guys.
