We asked for our 18 year old glove leather sofa/lounge to be made smaller to better fit our new home. Bill and team did a superb job-you cannot tell that it wasn't this way from the beginning!
Thank you, Rick, for your wonderful feedback! We're glad to hear that Bill and the team could transform your sofa to fit your new home perfectly. Enjoy your refreshed space! Take care! 🤗

We have used Jax Furniture Refinishing for several antiques, most recently a bookshelf. We could not be happier with the work. They always exceed our expectations.

These guys just repaired the badly damaged legs to my Great Grandmother's Secretary Desk. There were cracks in the wood and broken joints. I was concerned that there might be an obvious look of a repair but it looks like it was never damaged. SO happy because the piece is about 100 years old. OUTSTANDING work!
Thank you, Robert, for your wonderful feedback! We're delighted to hear that the repairs to your Great Grandmother's Secretary Desk exceeded your expectations and preserved its beauty. I hope you will keep us in mind for any future projects you may have. Take care! 😊

I asked for a seat cushion made from material I provided. The seat cushion was exactly what I ordered and looks great my bench.
Thank you, Tamara, for your wonderful review! We're so glad the seat cushion turned out just as you envisioned and looks great on your bench. I hope we get to work with you again! Take care! 🤗
Heather Sheeley-Johns
I saw wonderful reviews of JAX Furniture online but I was so scared to drop off a family heirloom to have some much needed work done! They were so kind, honest, and upfront about everything, most importantly they did a phenomenal job. You can tell they take this work very seriously and understand they are working on very important and sentimental pieces! I will be going back with other pieces soon! — And so should you!
Thank you, Heather, for sharing your experience! We're so glad to hear that you felt comfortable leaving your family heirloom with us and that you were pleased with the results. We look forward to seeing you again soon with your other pieces! Take care! 🤗

We had a nice piece of furniture damaged when diffuser oil leaked. The oil severely damaged the finish. Jax Furniture Refinishing was able to restore our furniture piece to its original condition. We couldn’t be happier!
Thank you for your kind words! We're delighted to hear that you are pleased with the work we did for you. Your satisfaction means a lot to us! Take care! 😊

Just had my Ballard design chairs reupholstered with a fantastic Thibaut fabric. Jax furniture refinishing and upholstery did such an amazing job I asked for the link to give them 5 ⭐️. I would recommend this company to anyone who needs their cushion inserts to be done which they also did for me or any custom upholstery needs they have. Suzanne and Bill are fabulous.
Thank you, Elizabeth! We're so glad you're happy with the chairs! They turned out amazing! I'm excited to see how beautiful the sofa will be. See you soon!🤗

I had several pieces of antique solid wood furniture that were damaged when my home was destroyed when a giant oak tree fell directly on my home. These pieces were irreplaceable so I needed a place that would be able to restore them. Included among these pieces were a buffet, a 4 drawer cabinet, a secretary, coffee table, and a barrister’s cabinet. All sustained water or physical damage from the hurricane. I contacted Suzanne from Jax Furniture Refinishing, got an estimate of the work required, and scheduled a date for all of the pieces to be picked up. The pick up date ended up being on 1/31/2025. I received a call last week that everything was done and ready to be returned home. All 5 pieces were returned on 3/7/2025 and I have to say that my wife and I are very pleased with the results. All of the pieces had to be stripped, repairs made, and refinished. Everything looks as good as new. These pieces are at least 80+ years old as they were furniture from my grandparents in New York. I’m hoping that we’re able to enjoy them all for many more decades. If you’re in need of furniture repair or refinishing, I would strongly recommend that you consider Jax Furniture Refinishing to do the work. You’ll be very satisfied with the results by these craftspeople. We have additional pieces that require work, including two side chairs that need to be re-upholstered and once my wife and I decide on the fabric that will go on the chairs, we’ll be contacting Jax Furniture Refinishing.
Thank you, Christopher, for sharing your experience and for trusting us with your cherished furniture; we're delighted to hear that you and your wife are pleased with the results, and we look forward to helping you with the side chairs when you're ready. Take care!! 🤗
