JV Restoration

Six dining chairs that a daughter's cat had used as scratching posts came back refinished in July 2026, and the customer wrote that you couldn't tell they had been worked on at all. That is the kind of thing that arrives at JV Restoration in Lawrence: a grandmother's 100-year-old table with broken legs, a Governor Winthrop desk that had been in the family for years, a hope chest with water damage from a pipe leak. What customers describe is repair as much as refinishing. In an October 2025 review, the legs of that century-old table were made to look brand new; a June 2022 Angi customer had a hope chest refinished and a broken hinge repaired; a March 2025 customer took old kitchen drawers across state lines after disappointing service at another shop and said Juan reconstructed them in less time and for less money. A November 2024 dining table had a top badly burned when a candle tipped over, and an October 2024 customer wrote that other people had told them to toss their table. Floors are part of the work too. A January 2026 reviewer had old pine floors refinished, an October 2024 customer had their kitchen floor redone, and a February 2023 Angi reviewer had hardwood floors refinished and said Juan communicated with them each day while the job was running. In a June 2024 Reddit post, someone described having a staircase rebuilt from pergo to real wood along with a mix of engineered and prefinished hardwood floors refinished. Sixteen reviewers mention pickup and delivery, which one December 2024 customer called great for people who don't have a pick up truck. An August 2025 customer said the crew arrived at the door, disassembled a maple dining table, took it to their facility, and brought it back three days later, resurfaced. A July 2026 reviewer had a ten-year-old dining table collected immediately and returned five days later; the Governor Winthrop desk was back in under three weeks in December 2024; a solid Stickley cherry coffee table and end table went out on a Friday in February 2025 and came back Monday. Cost shows up in the accounts as well. That February 2025 Stickley job was quoted at half what a competitor wanted, and a November 2024 customer sent photos of the water-damaged hope chest, got a fair price off them, and said pickup and drop-off ran to the minute. If you have a table, a chest or a set of chairs you would rather restore than replace, this is a straightforward call, and photos are enough to start a quote. Settle the turnaround before you hand the piece over — the jobs customers describe run from three days to just under three weeks — and confirm whether pickup and delivery is included in your price, since one March 2025 customer said his was free.
