"...The set had been made in New Westminster in the late 1940's. An older relative had owned it was acquired while helping her move and downsize in the late 60's. It was used it for 15 years before being replaced, but continued to be in use in other parts of the house. Two more chairs were found over the years and added to it. It was always a solid piece of furniture, but 60 years of use had left some wear, including the most recent dog's teeth marks from puppyhood on the cross braces of some of the chairs. The refinishing brought out the grain of the wood like never before, and removed all the scars of 60 years of use. Great job!..."

"...Just a note to thank you again for the great job you did on my guitar. I know it was in bad shape when you got it. As you know I bought it at an antique shop and someone had painted it (black) with house paint. You said it would take a lot of work to get the old paint off and your work was superb. The paint job was excellent - it now looks like the original Fender guitar as it was in 1979. This guitar is 1979 vintage and a guitar dealer told me that the value of the guitar has increased enormously in value, thanks to you. I really enjoy playing this "new/old" guitar since you helped to restore it to its original condition. Thanks, Andy, for your wonderful work..."

As you will recall, the first item was a dining room table with a burled wood top that had been damaged by a water stain, and I was nearly sick when I discovered what had happened to it. The second piece was a bedside table that had been injured by movers who had managed to put a deep gouge in it and break some of the delicate veneer. In both instances, the damage was considerable, and I honestly didn’t think there was going to be very much that could be done. However… then I met you! Both times, the work you did was exceptional. When you delivered each one of the pieces back to me, I genuinely couldn’t tell where the damage had been ! I would not hesitate to recommend your service to anyone or contact you in the future should I ever need to: not only are you professional and accommodating, as far as your repairing techniques are concerned, you can perform miracles. Thank you again so very much, Andy. I wish you every continued success in your future endeavours..."

"...I love my new furniture! Actually it's not new - it's better than new. I have the benefit of the classic craftsmanship of my parent's bedroom suite plus the added bonus of excellent refinishing work by AM Furniture Finishing. I was able to honour my parent's tradition and heritage while at the same time updating the look to fit into a modern home. The bedroom suite went from a shade of honey-wheat to a dramatic rich mahogany with red undertones for a totally new look. I know this project took a lot of work because I started it myself and soon discovered I had neither the skills, tools nor the patience to see the project through to the end. After I handed the project over this was reaffirmed as the headboard had to be deconstructed in order to get into all the nooks and crannies. And get into them all, AM Furniture Finishing did. They paid such great attention to detail, guests will never see some of the surfaces that were transformed from wheat to mahogany. Even I don't often go into some of the places where the new look can be found. But a thorough job was done and the transformation is complete. Even the pick-up and delivery service was high-class and professional, complete with red carpet. They were prompt and efficient and provided a good beginning and a satisfactory ending to the project. I am completely satisfied with the work done by AM Furniture Finishing and would gladly recommend them to future customers...."

"...Andy and his team (carpenter and upholsterer) did a wonderful job restoring my 1860’s serpentine settee. Before restoration it had a broken leg and was in such poor condition that another restorer recommended sending it to the landfill. When it was returned to me I was delighted to see that it had been transformed into a showpiece. The craftsmanship was excellent from the carpentry to the fine wood polishing to the lovely but comfortable upholstery. The business side of the contract was handled very professionally and I was pleased that the piece was finished in a remarkably timely fashion. ..."

Our chairs needed considerable care and attention after 35 years of family use. My children and I are extremely impressed with Andy's like new workmanship. We also entrusted my son-in-law's treasured antique chair to his expertise. This also required a lot of work, but now looks absolutely amazing. He is extremely impressed with how it looks now. We will be giving Andy our repeat business later on for other furniture pieces we own, that require a lot of help to bring them back to the wonderful pieces they once were.

I had become inured to the deep scratches and the big chip missing from one of the front doors, but was interested to see this fine piece could be restored to its former splendour. I found Andy Sahadeo at AM Furniture Finishing through an internet search and entrusted him with this antique, with some trepidation. But Andy was a very professional and easy to deal with throughout the entire process and most importantly the armoire has been restored to gleaming perfection.

"...I would like to thank you for the restoration job that you recently performed on my Captain’s chair. I had salvaged the chair from a duck hunting shack in the Fraser River marshes several years ago. It had been subjected to temperature and moisture extremes for an unknown number of years, as well as fairly rough usage. These factors were reflected in the weathered and beat-up appearance of the chair when I delivered it to your shop. When I picked up the restored chair it was hard to believe that it was the same one that I had left with you. The rich, warm appearance of the refinished mahogany is perfectly complemented by the studded leather padding on the front and back of the backrest. The finished product makes me very happy that I was able to salvage this beautiful piece of furniture before it ended up as firewood or whatever. Thank you for a job well done!!..."

Both my wife and myself are very pleased with the result, which came in on both budget and on time. This is an old furniture set, originally from New York, and has suffered many dents and bruises throughout several moves and some lengthy periods of storage. Indeed, we had already re-finished the furniture once -30 years ago- and were uncertain whether it was worth the money to bring it back from its old, tired state. It was. The suite looks as though it was new and, as you said it would, it is much more heat- and -scratch resistant than it was previously. So thanks!

"...My father had given me a mahogany china cabinet circa 1910. My husband's company shipped it out from Manitoba to Vancouver without incident. The cartage company that transported it from Burnaby to our home in Abbotsford could not do the same. My china cabinet arrived at my home with the back leg completely off & a stress fracter on the front leg (there were splinters sticking out). I was horrified. What made it worse is that I knew of no one that could fix it. For the longest time it sat in my living room being supported a crock and books. After much research-asking around & internet- I found Andy's web site. I surfed every part of his web site. Every page of before and after shots and testimonals. Impressed with what I saw I placed a call to him to discuss my problem. I was impressed with his honesty and brought the cabinet in. After discussing the options & asking a few more questions we decided not only to get the piece fixed but to refinish it as well. The elements of age had taken it toll on some of the parts. Even after making the decision I still hoped I had made the right choice. I was a little shocked at the quote but I was comparing it to what other's had paid to get furniture restored.

When we pick up the china cabinet we were speechless at what we were looking at. It was beautiful and flawless. It was better than what I pictured and all my doubt went out the window. The finish Andy chose allowed the natural wood grain to come out. Even a trained eye cannot tell where the damage was done. The front and back legs you see nothing but the wood grain. He also repaired a couple of spots where the wood had been chipped off on the molding and on the top edge. The cabinet is as sturdy as a brand new piece of funiture.

We are so impressed with the workmanship we see in the finnished product. I emailed the before and after pictures to my mother and father. They couldn't believe it. They are tough people to please, so when they are impressed with what they see you know it's a job well done. I can't say enough how beautiful and flawless this piece is. My friends & family have commented on how beautiful it looks. It's a conversational piece whenever we get company. And of course it looks more beautiful with my depression glass in it.

I would recommend Andy to anyone who cares about the quality, time, and effort put into a project. He puts as much care into something as if it were his own. We got what we paid for and that's a good thing. I couldn't be more impressed or happy with the decission I made. Andy, many people know how happy I am with your workmanship. Even those that don't have any furniture that needs refinishing. Thank you :-)..."

', '"...I really have no words to describe my delight every time I look at my beautiful fully restored and refinished dining room furniture and mirror..!! I inherited these from my Grandmother and even aside from the value and beauty I treasure many wonderful memories. Andy, both you and your wife rose to the challenge which included extensive repair and refinishing as well as a number of pieces that you made from scratch. The buffet, china cabinet, table and chairs and mirror are more than "good as new"-These are very special and treasured items which I'll pass on to my children, confident that they will stand the test of time. This has truly been a dream come true, and I would recommend your superior craftsmanship to anyone!! Thank you SO much!..."

"...I always knew that our beat up looking old table had potential. We bought it for the style but it was already deeply damaged by steam and had no leaf or matching chairs. After years of covering it with a table cloth, we were finally able to afford to have it restored. Andy had a beautiful leaf crafted to match and restored six old chairs into a dining set that wows us each day! His price quote was accurate and he kept us well informed of the progress of our projects. We have since used "AM Furniture Finishing" to restore other pieces and would have no hesitation in referring others to you..."

', '"...I would like to take this opportunity to thank you so much for referring Andy at AM Furniture to me. I had Andy come to my home and give me an estimate on several pieces of furniture. I also had some upholstery work done on some pieces as well as rewiring on an antique lamp.

Andy did a wonderful job. He listened to what I was asking for and he certainly delivered. He was always in contact with me regarding anything that may have been in question and always proceeded after my approval. He even discovered some fancy ornate carvings on a small bench which had been covered up by the upholstery. He e-mailed me the picture so I could see it and asked if I wished to have the carvings exposed when he did the upholstery. I did, and the bench is beautiful. Everything was done with care and for a reasonable price.

My daughter was getting married on September 23rd and we had a very busy schedule. Because Andy's business doesn't allow him to deliver during the day only on weekends and my weekends were fully booked, he put himself out and delivered for me during a very rainy week day. It was very much appreciated.

Shell, I have no problem recommending Andy to my friends, and if you wish to use my name in recommending Andy, please feel free to do so.

I also want to thank you for your referral service. I have used your service so many times in the past and I always have been absolutely satisfied with the contacts...."

"...Andy has refinished two pieces of furniture that I have had for years and didn't want to part with. They were in need of a "makeover" and Andy did a fantastic job of making them seem like completely new & different pieces. I am so very pleased with the refinishing of a pine armoire that Andy did in a country black finish that I am thinking of having other pieces done in the same finish. Andy is professional and very accommodating. The quality of workmanship is excellent as is the prompt service. I would not hesitate to recommend Andy to everyone..."

"...I inherited an old steamer trunk that's been stored in a shed for the last 30 years and in a barn for a period before that. It was hard to determine what it was even made of. You could see some wood strips, but that was about it. My husband wanted to get it restored as a Christmas present. He made some inquiries.no one was willing to take it on. Then he spoke to Andy at AM Furniture Finishing. We took it in for an estimate. Andy was honest and straightforward when he expressed all his concerns. It was agreed he would begin the process. During the various stages, he had my husband drop in to inspect it, and decide what further steps were needed. Thank goodness my husband gave Andy artistic license. The end product was amazing. He was able to retain the character and keep the rustic look of it. Simply put, he turned my great grandfather's old steamer trunk into a piece of furniture that now stands proudly in our living room. I would highly recommend Andy's work to anyone...."

Andy and his team stripped the paint, crafted a new door which matches perfectly the wood and original design, added touch latches and generally made it a fabulous-looking piece of furniture, which we're proud to display in our home. I strongly recommend AM Furniture Finishing as I know they lovingly create a masterpiece..."

The hardwood floors have been restored, the walls plastered and sealed with wax, the ceiling painted with metallic paint, and new draperies hung but the focal point of the room is unquestionably the dining room table which you restored/refinished so beautifully. As you know it is over 100 years old and was well, but not kindly, used over the years. How you managed to repair the deep scratches and water damage I don&$39;t know but all evidence of previous damage is gone. Many thanks, also, for repairing the original mechanism for opening and closing the table. It has never worked so well. I certainly appreciate your painstaking work and would not hesitate to recommend AM Furniture Finishing Ltd. to anyone who has furniture in need of refinishing..."

It is book matched burl walnut, with aromatic cedar inside. It seems it was used as a paint can holder, among other things in the past. You have restored it to its original beauty, and it now is a family heirloom! We love it! Thank you so much!..."

"...My wife and I approached the refinish and repair of our old dining room table and chairs with some trepidation. We thought that the furniture was either too old or too far gone for any sort of refurbishment. We needn’t have worried, as Andy took our pieces and assured us that it would turn out better than new. He was more than correct in that our old piece of coal is now a shining diamond in our home. All the nicks and scratches are gone, damage to the table top is no longer there, the finish is gleaming and the structure is sound. Andy is a pleasure to work with, always willing to offer suggestions and assurances. He does all the work himself, so he knows what has gone into a piece of furniture and what needs to be done to return it to its splendor. The work was accomplished in good time, and with no cost overruns. We would recommend Andy and AM Furniture Refinishing if you want quality work..."

My father found a chest of drawers for me at a yard sale however it had been stained red and did not fit into my new decorating scheme. I brought it to Andy with a plan to paint it white but I never dreamed it would look as beautiful as it does now. He labouriously restored it, consulting me throughout the process. He advised me on my options and he was open to my ideas for the piece. I am so thrilled with the end result that I plan to bring more pieces to Andy and I would not hesitate to recommend him..."
