Chem-Clean Furniture Restoration

Great restoration workshop! Owner, Gregory, is skilled and easy to work with. He restored our old tired Canadel kitchen table to match the colors of the newly remodeled kitchen. Work began after Thanksgiving and was in our kitchen a week before Xmas. Basically half the cost of buying a new Canadel table and that price included the round trip pickup and delivery service. Thanks to Lindex Remodeling for referring us to Chem-Clean. Also the workshop is located in an Enterprise zone so the sales tax is reduced.

We had 2 old pieces refinished, a desk and a dresser. We had a time constraint on this job and the Chem-Clean crew made sure we got our furniture back when we needed it. The dresser we gave them was in bad shape. It had a lot of damage from years of neglect. Greg and his team brought it back to life and made it look beautiful. The handles look brand new, the re-finished top looks amazing, and the drawers that were warped are now smooth and fit perfectly.

I brought in 6 dining room chairs that were dated and in desperate need of refinishing and reupholstering. I am so amazed with what the finished product was and i have to share. The folks there at Chem Clean took the time to pick the right stain and fabric layout, my wife and i are thrilled and we wish we had more old furniture to give them. Pricing is fair and not the low bidder but the quality you get is far beyond the price. 6 Chairs stripped re-stained and reupholstered in less than 3 weeks. They communicated with me through the whole process from start to finish and made me come down and inspect them before they delivered them. Again amazing work by an amazing business.

Expensive & Quality Poor - I was very disappointed with the cost and quality of the work. The owner was supposed to strip off all of the paint, replace glass panes and clean the brass hardware from a 1915 french door. The total cost of the work was $655.00 When I picked up the doors there was still paint by the window panes. He told me that that was to be expected and for another $300.00 he would sand and stain the doors.The removal of the paint could have easily been done before he replaced the glass panes. He used brads as opposed to finishing nails when he replaced the molding. The hardware was falling out and when I pulled the hardware out I found glue on one of the screws and the other holes were fixed with a wooden skewer. This would have been fine if he had made a wooden plug and glued it into place but this was not the case. Instead skewers fell out when I pulled the hardware off. I went back to speak with him regarding the poor workmanship. I informed him of the problems. He was not interested in doing anything about it. When I said I thought $655.00 was a lot of money for the quality of the work, he was disinterested. I am now in the process of removing the glass so that the frames can be properly cleaned and sand. I will then move on to cleaning and polishing the brass hardware and then properly set it. I am sorry that I did not use a different company. I would not even give him a 1 star but that is all that is available.
