Remarkable Refinishing

I had Remarkable Refinishing repair and restore an eighty plus year old trunk. It was rusted, wood shot, and just needed life again. Mark and his team did a wonderful job. I was worried spending money on something that looked so aged and dismantled, but I am so grateful and happy I did. Thank You!

I brought them a simple hardwood end-table for repair. They were to disassemble the table and glue two broken joints. When I went to pick up the completed repair, there was a 1/32 to 1/16 inch air gap in two joints, plus the metal trim fell off in my hand. I left the table and returned the following day to discuss with the owner, Mark. Mark downplayed my concerns. I applied a slight amount of pressure against the joint, maybe 5 or 10 lbs. The joint pop right in front of Mark. His reply was, Of course it would pop like that. That's like dragging the table across the carpet.



I do not expect an empty end-table to fall apart when I drag it across carpet.



I had Mark disassemble the table. I picked up the parts and completely the repair myself. Mark charged me the full price of the repair, $150, before I could take my table back.



This repair was in April 2013. I originally posted my review in the yellow pages. At the time, there was only one other review. Since my posting, I see several 5-star reviews posted. Very suspicious.



Very poor quality repair. Do not use ReMarkable Refinishing.

Do not use ReMarkable Refinishing.

I don't do reviews very often but I recently got my kitchen refinished by Mark and I absolutely love it! I highly recommend ReMarkable Refinishing for any type of refinishing. They are timely and their main focus is satisfying the customers needs.

I just got my dining room table, chairs and buffet back from Mark and everything looks beautiful. Very professional and done in a timely fashion!
