Restorers Without Borders is a furniture repair and restoration workshop. The staff is comprised of nine woodworking professionals who are skilled in all aspects of furniture restoration — structural repairs, stripping/refinishing, custom painting, hand-carving, upholstery, chair caning/rushing, gold-leafing…and more.
The workshop has been in existence for over 30 years. It began as a small two person group specializing in antique furniture restoration and provided woodworking skills supporting three French antique retail storefronts called A Room With A Vieux. Clients of the antique business were afforded the opportunity to transform and modernize their old world purchases into pieces conforming to modern day usage — interior fit-outs of armoires and commodes to accommodate televisions and/or bathroom sinks, antique bed fit-outs to accept modern day queen size mattresses and box springs, custom paint finishes for client household decorating preferences, and the like.
There was a continuing demand of client requests for the workshop to expand its scope of services to include non-antique furniture items. Consequently, the workshop opened its doors to the public in 2008 and called itself ‘Restorers Without Borders.’ The expanded and newly formatted business has grown to embody a talented team of woodworking professionals and is often referred to as the city’s ‘Doctors of Furniture Repairs.’ The Company’s business focuses on all wood furniture items — new or old — and provides an array of services covering just about all client woodworking requests.
The entire staff works as a team and consults with one another on a continuing basis, thereby allowing a pooling of skills sets that furnishes customers with pleasing results. Client feedback continues to be overwhelmingly positive, and unsolicited reviews and remarks have been ever-expanding.
The workshop happily informs its clientele that ‘customers swear BY us rather than AT us!’ Added to that notation is the fact that a large percentage of our clients are ‘repeat offenders’ who continue to return to us for additional work. Most others come to us by way of referrals or via our long-standing reputation for delivering quality results.
The entire Restorers Without Borders staff is often described as ‘woodworking magicians,’ and it’s fair to say that these ‘magicians’ have yet to meet a woodworking project that defies their skills!
