Ben did a nice job refinishing a small antique chest. He called meat each every step of the way to keep me involved in the process. I am happy with the results and would recommend him. Start with a small piece to be sure you like his process.

This project was a failure! I was told it would take a couple of weeks to strip and refinish my 70+ year old dining set. Almost 2 months later I get a half done project back. I was told Ben developed a reaction to the stripping material and he didn?t know when he could finish it. I was done with waiting. Picked up the set today and as you can see by the pictures the chairs are a mess. After spending over $1000. I need to find someone else to clean up his mess. He calls himself an artist ? Totally furious with the work and service! I would not hire ?the artist? to do anything.

Response from Company:

I am very sorry that this project was disappointing. The stripping process was far more time consuming than anticipated. In addition, I developed an extremely severe reaction to working with certain woods and was under medical treatment. I was unable to work with wood for an extended period of time. I both offered to refund your money on two occasions in its entirely and to complete the project with delay.

Ben was eager to please. He was flexible around the construction scheduling, open to feedback, and willing to come back and adjust any spots that we wanted. His brushwork is very good and his pricing is extremely honest. He painted an entire one bedroom unit for us, floor to ceiling and also repaired lots of pre-existing walls damage and ugly paint areas. The final product looks refreshed and clean.

Seal of Approval

What is the screening process that Service Professionals go through in order to become members of the HomeAdvisor network?

  1. Verify Trade License
    HomeAdvisor checks to see if the business carries the appropriate state-level license.
  2. Verify Insurance
    As a part of our screening process, we encourage professionals to carry general liability insurance. We require coverage for hundreds of services.
  3. Verification of State Business Filings
    For business types that require a Secretary of State filing, we confirm that the business is in good standing in the state in which it is located.
  4. Criminal Records Search
    HomeAdvisor uses 3rd party data sources to conduct a criminal search for any relevant criminal activity associated with the owner/principal of the business.
  5. Sex Offender Search
    We confirm that the owner/principal is not listed on the official state Sex Offender web site in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located.
  6. Bankruptcy Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the history of the principal/owner of the business for bankruptcy filings by or against them.
  7. Legal Search for Civil Judgments
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for state level civil legal judgments entered against them.
  8. Liens Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for liens placed against them.
  9. Identity Verification (SSN)
    HomeAdvisor verifies the social security number(s) of the owner/principal for identity check purposes. This check applies primarily to smaller business entities.
  10. Identity Verification (Reverse Phone Lookup)
    We conduct a reverse business phone lookup to identify records matching the phone number information provided by the business.
