Testimonials
José does beautiful work. He is truly an artist and he restored the original beauty of my grandmother’s oak chairs. Thank you!
Marcela D.
Just picked up my great grandmother's 100 + year old small oak chair w rattan seat. The rattan seat was broken. I was doubtful how the rattan could be matched color wise to such an old stain and how the repair would look. It's unbelievable how well it matches, looks fabulous. Very fair pricing and easy process.
Sally Y.
Jose Sorto did a fantastic job on my four danish cord chairs. His work is impeccable! I was so pleased with the result. Jose is very professional, and clearly enjoys his work. He also picked up the chairs, and delivered them to me when the work was completed. I highly recommend him.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What’s the difference between furniture repair, restoration, and refinishing?
Furniture repair focuses on fixing structural or functional issues, such as broken joints or loose legs. Restoration involves bringing a piece back to its original condition while preserving as much of the original materials as possible. Refinishing typically means removing the old finish and applying a new one, often to improve the appearance or match existing décor.
Can I ship my furniture to you for repair if I live outside of California?
Yes! We offer nationwide service. Simply send us photos of your item for a quote, ship it to our workshop in Richmond, CA, and we’ll complete the repair and ship it back to you securely.
How do I know if my furniture is worth repairing or restoring?
If your piece has sentimental value, high craftsmanship, or solid wood construction, it’s often worth restoring. Repairs and refinishing can extend the life of your furniture and maintain its historical or personal significance—often at a lower cost than replacing it with lower-quality modern alternatives.
