Restored all wood surfaces on two 50 year old dining chairs while protecting the upholstery. He is on time, communicates very well and has been in the restoration business for a long time. He even picked up delivered the finished chairs, something that would have been hard for me to do.

Lou fills a huge niche. Say you've got a large piece of furniture that's got a ding in it. You either live with it (tacky), or you try to find a refinisher who's interested in the job (and good luck with that) and then hire someone at great expense to move it, or you call Lou. He patched up and reinforced a broken credenza that was missing a structural member, repaired and touched up a pair of shoji screens that a floor installer had played bumper cars with, touched up the top veneer of a desk that had been damaged by movers, and touched up the base of a lamp.It would have cost me hundreds of dollars to move the large pieces, even if I'd done it myself.... read full review

Lou did a great job repairing our couch frame! He was a great communicator, friendly, and reliable. He came to our house to do the repair which saved us the trip of transporting the couch to a shop. Definitely recommend Villar Restorations!
