Touch Ups Plus

We had an old, antique table we brought up from the Caribbean that had been varnished, with a cracked leg and in desperate need of some TLC.

Lynn, Mark and Mike were an incredible team and just so LOVELY to work with

This antique table had been in my husband's family for several generations and had a lot of sentimental value. Lynn was incredible from the very beginning, understanding what we wanted to do, going so far above and beyond to clarify any changes they were making and ensure it was what we wanted. She helped ensure Mark and Mike could execute what we were hoping for.

Because of the age and the origin of the table (Caribbean)- there ended up being a lot of unknowns once the varnish was removed, and Lynn and Mark problem solved and did everything they could to help us get what we hoped for.

I'm one of those annoying people who ask way too many questions and Lynn never got impatient and helped me learn so much about finishing wood and furniture.

Having the pleasure of Touch Ups Plus refinish our table was probably one of the best experiences I've ever had with a company. I don't know how they keep their energy and passion while ALSO doing such an incredible job, but I am VERY grateful to have met them.

I should also mention- I had done 3 quotes for this job through homestars and Touch Ups Plus were by far THE most competitive pricing wise.

In the end we ended up:
- stripping and refinishing the table
- increasing the height
- splitting it so that the table top can be separated from the pedestal (to make it easier to move in the future- to get it into our current home we had to bring it in over the balcony as one solid piece)
- fixing a cracked leg
- polished/replaced the brass coverings on the pedestal leg and replaced the wood beneath which had crumbled from age
- stabilized the table (it was shaky before)

I've attached photos to show what the top looked like before and after. As well as the pedestal once they were done with it. Keep in mind they could have done a variety of stains, etc, we just chose this because we loved the rich colour.

THANK YOU SO MUCH LYNN, MARK AND MIKE
