The best furniture repair and restoration guys around.....
Furniture repair and restoration serving the Albuquerque metro area
Some changes to be aware of......
We'd like to thank all of our past, current and future customers for their trust in repairing and restoring their favorite furniture items or prized family heirlooms.
Please know that we are no longer on 4th Street NW in ABQ. We have moved to a small garage in Rio Rancho*. Therefore, we can no longer accept random walk in business. All service requests or drop offs are By Appointment ONLY, please.
Also, please understand that we are a specialty, niche type of business. Unlike Auto Repair, Plumbers, Locksmiths, etc, we are not set up to go out on the same day or the next day. We wish to remain small and affordable for everyone. Therefore, we ask for your patience in returning your initial contact, and if you need a repair ASAP, we will not be a good choice of shops, and suggest you call around. However, if you want a damn good job, guaranteed, we'd appreciate it if you can wait a bit. We mostly have a small backlog, but we work at it steadily.
*( Back when we were on 4th street, customers would drop off or we'd pick up, and usually say, "It'll be 6-8 weeks to get it done": Then, except for some special attention needed on some pieces, it would mostly sit around until we were ready to start, or rather, it was next in line, and then actually start the job in earnest. We are essentially doing the same thing now, except we estimate relatively soon after your initial contact, then you hold your furniture items for sometimes up to 6-8 weeks, until we are ready to start, or rather, when you're next in line, and then pick up/ you drop off your item(s) to start the job.)
