Sam & Mary's Woodworks — Local services in Collier Township

They have a nice facility, and marketing, and I am sure they have a very talented woodworker. But if you have an expensive piece of furniture I would not bring it here.

We found this place, and it had many years of experience. I made sure the chair was carefully wrapped and protected when dropping it off.

We have a large dresser than was unable to make it up the stairs of our new home due to a narrow turn at the top. They removed the dresser from our garage and took it to the shop. They were able to disassemble it, transport it back to our house in pieces and reassemble it perfectly in our bedroom. Very happy with the work and service. Would...
