Buzz and the guys at Chem Clean Furniture Restoration brought our 1940's patio metal table and 4 chairs back to life! They sand blasted rust and years of chipping paint from the set, then primed and repainted satin finish white. Table and chairs look brand new. Buzz kept us up to date during entire process. Couldn't be happier and highly recommend!

Absolutely awful work. A rocker was to be refinished and a seat replaced. The seat was done but much of the rocker was not touched and the underpart of the seat remained raw. When we returned it, the owner refused to redo unless we paid him an additional $150 after the $288 we already paid. He was not interested in "making his work right". The only reason we gave him one star is that this site would not allow anyone to post unless you gave a rating. No pride in workmanship or in pleasing the customer. Expensive for terrible work.

Called Chem-Clean to fix a dining room table leg. Very friendly on the phone, asked a few questions about the table and asured me itcould be fixed. The job was done in a few days, and I am very happy with the results. So happy with the price, I expected to be shocked.

I brought in 6 dining room chairs that were dated and in desperate need of refinishing and reupholstering. I am so amazed with what the finished product was and i have to share. The folks there at Chem Clean took the time to pick the right stain and fabric layout, my wife and i are thrilled and we wish we had more old furniture to give them. Pricing is fair and not the low bidder but the quality you get is far beyond the price. 6 Chairs stripped re-stained and reupholstered in less than 3 weeks. They communicated with me through the whole process from start to finish and made me come down and inspect them before they delivered them. Again amazing work by an amazing business.

Chem Clean has been my go-to place for furniture first aid for at least the last decade. Greg has refinished dining room chairs, re-rushed some ladder-back chairs, reupholstered living room chairs and resurrected an old thumb-back nursing rocker that had hung in my barn for 20 years. Even more astounding was the repair he did to two pieces: he rebuilt the shattered arm of a side chair that had great sentimental value - I honestly cannot see where it was fixed, and he made the legs of my grandma's little pedestal tea table after it had been crushed. An amazing place that can do ALL kinds of first aid for furniture. Excellent workmanship, nice guy, and prompt service. Highly recommend.
