Rene was recommended to me by the folks at Don’s Custom Cabinets in Rapid Valley. We had 2 rockers and a side table that were about 5 years old that had seriously deteriorated since we bought them. They had been kept on an outdoor deck, under roof in a SE exposure, no direct precipitation, but blowing snow and rain did their work. The Oil Rubbed Bronze paint finish had peeled to almost no spot unaffected. I had attempted to sand and touch up the finish a couple of times, but I didn’t have the patience to do it right. I took the chairs to Rene who recommended an oil stain refinish that would penetrate and protect and could be relatively easily touched up when and if needed.Rene took the chairs and, on the promised schedule, had them looking a thousand percent better, really like new. We’re very happy with the result and level of service. Rene represents a shrinking base of artisans and craftsman who take the time and put in the elbow-grease. I’m sure she’ll post pictures. I believe she liked the result as well.
Great work and result! Rene recently repaired and refinished a display table for us and we could not be happier with the end result.
