. Yes/No. It is not always possible to EXACTLY match a piece of furniture. All furniture is not built the same way. The style or shape and contour of a piece of furniture can usually be closely matched. Most of the time, color matching is the hardest to accomplish. Time affects furniture in many ways. Stains and natural coloring change over time due to their exposure to sunlight and sometimes due to the materials in the original finish. Dirt, has affects on painted surfaces, as does ware and tear. Cleaners, polishes and solvents can have affects on furniture as well. However, I am able to build furniture to match most existing pieces.

.

. Yes/No. Again, because all furniture is not made the same, everyone's cost of making furniture is not the same. I pride myself in making fine furniture. That is to say that I don't like taking shortcuts and using cheaper woods simply to bring down the price of a piece of furniture, all the while sacrificing its integrity. I take every effort in making sure that anything I build for you will last so that it does not have to be replaced a year or two down the road. That is not to say that everything I build is very expensive. Each piece stands on its own merit. If the piece is very simple, it is possible that I can make it for the same price that someone else charges. Each request must be considered separately.

.

. I use many different species of woods. Each piece of furniture is different in both it's function and it's form. Some woods are more pleasing to the eye, while others are better for their ability to function under constant use over time. Some woods are soft while others are extremely hard. Some woods take stain well while others do not. I use all solid woods and some man made materials(when it is feasible). The reason for the man made materials is that the wood industry has discovered ways of using solid wood to manufacture materials that are more stable over time. I do not use particle board in anything I build. I will consider any request for a particular material.

.

. That depends. Most requests can be completed within 6 to 8 weeks from the time the estimate has been signed.

.

. No. It is not that I cannot refinish furniture, rather I chose not to. Everybody is not great at everything, so stick to what I do best.

.

. Yes/No. I am capable of building just about any furniture that is made out of wood. However, I am not the best at building everything. I will consider any request to build furniture and I will tell you if I think that you should contact someone else for your request.

.

. Currently, I don't make any furniture that has fabric permanently attached. With that said, I will consider any request to make any piece of furniture. I am always open to a challenge.

.

. Yes/No. If you have an unfinished project that you need completed, I will gladly take a look at it. That is not to say that I will always work on someone else's work. Everyone does not do things the same way. For example, if you hired someone to install bookshelves for you and they started the job but did not complete the job, I may be able to finish the job or I may suggest that you start over because of the way the job was started to begin with.

.

. No. I specialize in fine furniture. I do not do any structural work as I am not licensed to do so. I can work with someone that is doing that work to incorporate special features, such as built-in bookcases, wet bar, built-in entertainment centers, etc…

.

. Yes. I will gladly work with anyone that you are currently working with on a project in whatever capacity I can. Although I am not licensed to build structural elements such as walls I am very familiar with how it's done what it takes to incorporate functional spaces.
