Having to wait a bit to get in his queue told me this was the right place to refinish our heirloom pine table. Richard and I had several discussions about what I was hoping for with the project. The pine table was in dire need of some TLC and restoring it to its former glory. He took it apart and sanded off all the old finish, except the center section underneath the top, which I specifically asked him to leave as is, because it was the original color and I wanted it as a reminder from when my mom had originally bought it, back in the early '70s. Richard knocked it out of the park, and it only took him less than a week. It's perfect. Exactly what I had hoped for. Now it has a second life and a special place in our home. Could not be more impressed and satisfied with the final results.

I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome of our office furniture! Richard is certainly a master at what he does! He took the time to keep me informed throughout the entire process which was very appreciated. If you are considering refinishing a cherished piece of furniture, let Richard do it. He’s quite the expert in his field!
Thank you very very much. I appreciate you taking the time to leave a review/feedback. It was great facilitating your project, but it was better meeting both you and your husband.

My husband & I had our highchairs, we used as babies, refinished by Generations Refinishing. We plan to use them with our grandchildren. We are so pleased! Richard did excellent work, leaving the integrity of the wood, & returned them to us very timely. We highly recommend Generations Refinishing!

We’ve have an oak silver chest that had the hinges and retaining arm damaged in 2018. The chest was a wedding gift to my husbands grandmother in1911. Richard took possession of it on Friday afternoon and he had it repaired and ready for pick up on Monday afternoon. He located better hinges but still retained the aesthetic of the antique originals. Richard’s restoration is extremely well done. I definitely recommend his talent, attention to detail and quick turn around on his projects to anyone needing restoration or repair.
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave such a kind thoughtful review. Very glad I was able to locate hardware that was more substantial than what we were replacing. Thank you very much, glad I was able to help

I asked Richard to help me with a table my great uncle made in 1953. When Richard got it, the table smelled and was in terrible, terrible shape. The table I picked up from Richard is absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Richard...
Thanks so very much for the review. It was a pleasure to restore sure an important piece who’s design was far far ahead of its time.

Trust your antiques to Richard! He refinished our six Duncan Phyfe dining chairs and also hand-crafted a new splat to replace the one the movers broke. His finish is better than the 1930's original and the chairs are saved! ...Thank you for your passion for restoration, expertise, hard work, excellent price, and good conversation, Richard. You are a gem!
Thank you very very much. I love working on Duncan Phyfe furniture, and you guys were absolutely terrific clients. Thanks again

Professionalism with a passion for an art. Richard has a gift to bring wood back to life. I recently had several tired pieces of family furniture restored. They are beautiful again! His craftsmanship is amazing, as is his business ethic.
Thank you so very much. It's always of greater reward to play a part in helping someone to reclaim a small part of their past.

Richard is absolutely top notch at what he does! I am a repeat customer and every time I pick up my furniture I'm absolutely thrilled with the results. I appreciate Richard's extreme attention to detail and his desire to make every piece look the absolute best it can be. He never disappoints and many times my husband and I are just "blown away" with the results! He is one of those rare individuals that truly cares about his craft and is incredibly gifted. We are so glad we found him! Bonus: His rates are more than reasonable too!
Thanks you two!!! I love working on your projects as well as having the opportunity to speak with you both.
