Kevin is the real deal. Fantastic work and super bright and shiny results. A true professional in all ways. And he follows up on his work. Highly respected and recommended.
Worth the wait and the price! We had Kevin refinish two doors whose finish had been done in by about ten years of morning sun, and replace and finish the threshold for us. He’s busy, so we waited several months for us to reach the head of the queue. And Kevin isn’t cheap. But the result was well worth the wait and the cost.

Kevin saved the day. I tried repairing the desktop of my roll-top desk and ruined it. Kevin stepped in and repaired all of the damage that I created and made my roll-top desk look like new. Fabulous repair. I could not be happier with my repair. Kevin is a descent honest guy who does not take advantage of the stressful situation. His pricing was very fair. He took the time to do the fine wood finishing job properly and did not rush his work. Recommend to all.
