I brought a very heavy wooden tray into Miguel with the handle broken off and I did not have the piece of the handle to give to him, this was my first visit to this wood repair/restoration shop so I was a little Leary. He had a wonderful personality and made me feel very welcomed from the minute I walked in the door. Needless to say he constructed up a new handle by eye (in looking at the other one that was still attached to the tray) and it looks better than the other original one that came with the tray!!!! Now I'm wishing both handles would have broke off :). His workmanship is meticulous, perfect & very well done. You can tell he takes pride in his work. I give Heartwood Restorations 10 STARS even though the ratings are only 5 :) JOB...

Miguel assured me he could handle it - and he absolutely did! Since the piece was very large, he performed the work on-site at my house. Despite the work taking longer than he anticipated, he stuck to his original quote - plus he fixed other small things on the piece that he saw that we hadn't even discussed. He's a perfectionist, takes his time and is the ultimate craftsman. Incredibly talented, professional and a pleasure to work with - I recommend him to everyone I can and have already hired him again for...
Read moreI had an old rocking chair that belonged to my grandfather sitting in my garage for 4 years. It was in pretty bad shape. I searched the internet and found this company and boy am I happy I did! Miguel told me he was pretty busy and wouldn’t be able to start my job for about 4 months. I waited and followed up. I brought it to him about 5 weeks ago. He was very good in communicating with me each step. We made some changes as the restoration moved along keeping the piece original. I trusted his professional opinion and he did not fail me! I am extremely happy with my chair! I will be using...
