Horrible!!! Seems to work from St. Pete, W. Palm Beach, and Lutz, but is all over the place. We had 5 pieces refinished that were in both new and excellent condition. After COUNTLESS delays and excuses (sick, ran into something with his eye, got in an accident, got called out of town, etc.), not only did he NOT do what we asked on 3 pieces, but all were VERY poorly done… some absolutely horrendous!!! His workmanship (that’s being kind) is sloppy, totally careless, and without attention to detail. When these problems were pointed out to him he got very defensive and completely rude!!! He took no responsibility for anything and blamed it all on the furniture. Give me a break! I have detailed photos before and after that refute everything. He also lost parts to 2 pieces (and still hasn’t returned them), damaged EVERY piece (and not in a minor way), didn’t put hardware back on correctly, broke off a support leg, left overspray on mirrors, cracked one mirror, missed many, many areas during refinishing, left paint runs and drips in numerous places and on and on and on. He attempted shoddy in-​home repairs, but when he started using spray paint without a drop cloth or «tenting», enough was enough!!! It took 2 days, razor blades and a lot of elbow grease to remove overspray from the floor, but it’s still in the grout. WE offered to bring the pieces back to his shop for repair and re-​do, but he said no and gave his word he would come back to do these in our garage (ugh) which is climate controlled. After numerous attempts to get him back week after week after week, with all his «hypothetical» dates and broken appts., he then had the audacity to say «learn to relax». Completely unprofessional and totally out of line! Our attorney advised a 30 day notice to comply which, of course, he didn’t, so now we are left to pursue this legally. It’s very sad that people like this exist in business today. I don’t know how he sleeps at night.
