Provided by YP.comI never would have imagined that I would find anyone as talented and knowledgeable as Miguel Garcia. I own several antiques and wanted to pass a French dresser onto my daughter as a housewarming gift. However, the wood frame holding the mirror had cracked in a move and I inexpertly glued it together myself. Not only did he dissolve the glue I had applied, he repaired it so perfectly that it is virtually invisible to the casual observer. He removed all the handles and cleaned them with acetone, giving the whole piece a brighter look. All the wood surfaces were waxed and gleaming. He resized the marble top by hand sanding, relieving pressure on the molding surrounding the inlay. He relieved points of stress in the dresser by realigning its weight and balancing it again. He created a DVD demonstrating every step in the restoration process. He identified various markings on the piece and gave it an age of 200 years+.
It looks better than ever, and all his ministrations gave the dresser a new lease on life.
Not only is he a completely learned and practiced professional, but he is a joy to work with, and I wholeheartedly recommmend him and his services.

Provided by YP.comMiguel does amazing furniture restoration. He restored an armoire that was in really bad shape and brought it back to life. His attention to detail is superb. I couldn't believe how beautiful the armoire looked when he was finished! He even researched the hardware.
