Oakley Restoration & Finishing recently restored our bar. The bar was passed down from our grandfather so it is very sentimental.Bill Oakley and his team did a phenomenal job! The bar looks brand new and its clear they took great pride in their work. The entire experience was terrific! The team was very responsive, punctual, and went above-and-beyond. I highly recommend Bill and his team!!!

Oakley Furniture saved my table from a nail polish remover splatter, fixed some cracks in our dining chairs and re-tooled the banisters on a bed frame. Bill was quick to respond and got me on the schedule far quicker than other companies I had called. I will absolutely use them again and would highly recommend.

Oakley furniture restoration did an amazing job on my rush chairs. When something was not quite to how I wanted they quickly fixed and resolved the problem in a timely manner. I restore furniture myself and can tell you their work is high quality. I definitely recommend.

Oakley did a beautiful job on our worn but treasured dining room set, from refinishing to reweaving splint seating. They are knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and responsive. Couldnt have asked for more.

They repaired a modern furniture designer couch bringing it back to life. They can do simple wood repairs as well as intricate design work.

THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I called them the day after we noticed a white ring on our wood dining room table. They were able to fit us into their busy schedule and repaired the table like new. I could not believe how perfect it looks now. My wife and I are extremely happy and will not hesitate to have him repair any other wood furniture we have damaged

Restoration is a great term for your work! Bill and company brought new life to several pieces of furniture that belonged to my grandmother and great-grandmother. Each piece was expertly repaired and reclaimed by hand so that it could be used in my home for years to come. Trim details that were broken over the years were expertly recreated to match, seamlessly, the original. While I never had the chance to meet these ancestors, I am pleased to keep their memory alive through their beautiful furnishings. Thanks you!

I was fortunate to be referred to Bill at Oakley to refinish several European antique tables. I phoned him and he made arrangements to come out to assess the pieces. I was comfortable immediately with his knowledge and professionalism. The process going forward was seamless, he picked everything up, perfectly restored all pieces, and delivered them back quickly. I would use him again and again. HIGHLY recommend!

He did an amazing job securing and strengthening my chairs, even the captains chair. And the fabric and bunting is perfect! And my beautiful table has NEVER been as stable as it is today! All without interfering in the integrity of the antique. I will definitely bring all my antiques to Oakley!

Bill Oakley has refinished several pieces of furniture for us and we are always more than pleased with the results. The furniture is handled with the utmost care and is returned to us looking as good as new, sometimes better than the original finish.

Oakley restoration did an outstanding job refinishing a number of our antiques. Their workmanship is of the highest quality and they are very a pleasure to work with. I recommend them unconditionally.

Review №32

Followed our requests exactly. Returned the piece to the exact look of its period. Executed a complex repair of spindles with complex changing shapes from cylindrical to ellipsoid and back to cylindrical all the while following the compound contours to shape the back support of a 100 year old rocking chair. You cannot tell the difference between the old spindles and the new replacements right down to the oak grain and weathered stain. The strength of the chair has been restored to its original design, if not better. We request the finish look like it had not been updated but represented the period of its manufacture.

Our church needed to restore an antique desk that our church secretary has used for many years. The desk was worn and needed some repair. We offered to buy the secretary and new desk but she didnt want to part with an old friend. Bill came to the church and did all the work on-site. Our secretary was very pleased with the work and we would recommend Oakley Restoration for any similar work.

I am a contractor for over thirty years and Oakley Restoration and Finishing is the only company i would call . They have repaired finish floors when they where damage from a drop tool or material. I have recommended them to my best customers for refinishing furniture, making kitchen cabinets look new again. They pick up the phone when you call and show up for appoints.

If you love good furniture and want it to look great but not like its been redone, this is the place. The skills of George and Scott are unsurpassed,; they love their work and are a pleasure to work with as well. We have had a number of pieces redone and repaired and when done you cant tell that they arent in untouched original condition. This is my standard of fine work. They also go the extra mile to make sure the work is appropriate, for example finding a lock for our tall clock (it had been gone for about 100 years), fitting it and even fixing the key as well. All without having to ask. Cant recommend their work enough and have absolutely no hesitation in giving them fine antiques that need skilled attention.

Review №65

If you want it done right, this is the place to go. Bill Oakley and his crew are true craftsmen. I had two Victorian arm chairs that have been in my family for three generations. They each needed significant repairs. Not only were the joints all loose, but some pieces had broken away, like the base of one leg where the brass wheel should have been attached. Surgery was performed wherein new pieces were crafted, attached, and stained to match the beautifully aged walnut. When the chairs came back, the repairs were virtually invisible. Now the chairs are beautiful and sturdy, ready for the next three generations. I was so pleased with the work that I plan to send several other projects Bills way over the next few months.

Review №78

I contacted Bill Oakley or a custom job that required transforming an antique queen sized Eastlake style bed into a king size bed. Bill and his team took great care to match the finish, the wood, and the style so the work they did blended seamlessly with the existing piece. This required widening the headboard and footboard, and lengthening the rails. I was very pleased with the final result. Also, Bill provided excellent customer service throughout the project. He was responsive to my communications and took the time to explain the project to me (he even drew up plans!) so I was comfortable before he began work on a piece that was very valuable to me. Oakley Restoration & Finishing also finished on time and on budget. I think Billy Oakley is not only a skilled craftsman, but also runs a good business. If you think you need his services, dont hesitate to call him.

Oakley has repaired and restored a maple hutch for us--to include taking five inches off the hutch to resize it. Terrific results--excellent craftsmanship! They also took a large table that needed to fit up tight stairs and into a large upper room--they rebuilt the table so it was easily moveable and can be changed out as necessary-- very inventive! We have found them professional, service oriented and very nice folks with whom to work.
