Juan collects the table from your door, takes it to his shop, and brings it back a few days later. A Stickley cherry coffee table and end table went out on a Friday in February 2025 and were home on the Monday. A maple dining table was disassembled at the house in August 2025 and returned resurfaced three days after that. Customers keep mentioning that the pickup and delivery are part of the deal, often at no charge — which is how someone with no truck gets a heavy dining table refinished at all. JV Restoration works out of Lawrence, and most of what arrives has history attached. A 100-year-old table handed down from a grandmother, its legs broken, came back looking new in a 2025 review. A Governor Winthrop desk that had been in one family for years was returned inside three weeks in December 2024. A hope chest with water damage from a pipe that let go while the owners were away, a 60-year-old buffet, a badly neglected teak patio set whose slatted chair backs were difficult to sand, mid-century Heywood Wakefield chairs and a 1940s cherry dresser all show up. One 2024 customer's dining table carried a burn mark from a tipped candle; a July 2026 customer's six dining chairs had been used as scratching posts by the family cat. Furniture is not all of it. A January 2026 customer had old pine floors refinished. In 2023 another had hardwood floors done, including an area with staining and an odor, and was updated each day while the work ran. Kitchen cabinets come in too: a July 2025 customer had two cabinet doors with worn-off finish restored to match the rest of the kitchen, and a 2024 homeowner had the brown cabinets she disliked turned into something she wanted to look at. In a June 2024 thread on Salem's subreddit, a commenter described having a staircase rebuilt from Pergo to real wood and a mix of engineered and prefinished hardwood refinished. Two customers put numbers on the price. In February 2025 one said the quote was half what a competitor had asked. In March 2025 another carried old kitchen drawers back across the state line from a New Hampshire shop that had disappointed her, and had them reconstructed in less time and for less money. If you have something worth saving — a table, a desk, a set of chairs, a floor that has lost its finish — this is a small shop that will come and get it. Send photos up front to settle the price, and plan for the piece to be away anywhere from a few days to about three weeks depending on the work.
“Y’all, I used JV Restoration (Lawrence, MA) to rebuild my staircase from pergo to real wood and to refinished a mix of engineered wood and prefinished hardwood floors. They did a GREAT job, were so nice and flexible, communicative, helped me with color, and were really easy to work with. Don’t hesitate to call Juan V.! Other contractors complained about the engineered wood and prefinished hardwood and how hard they are to refinish (wah wah wah it’s your profession, do you want the work or not? Clearly not), and one was 2x Juan’s price and one was 1.5x Juan’s price. I will have him refinish my ”
Recently JV Restoration refinished six dining room chairs that my daughter’s cat used as scratching posts. The work done came out fantastic and you couldn’t tell they were refinished. I would highly recommend this company for any refinishing work.
Juan refinished our 16 yr old cherry dining room table along with 6 chairs and two extensions. There were scratches all over the table top and all chairs. He did an absolute amazing job. It looks SO beautiful now. I wish I had done this sooner. I thought it would be more costly to refinish instead of replacing it. I found him online with so many great reviews and he didn't disappoint. He picked it up and brought it back even though I am an hour away from him. Friendly, courteous, respectful, talented and a great price. Look no further if you're in the market.
Juan did a fabulous job refinishing our 10 year old dining table, it turned out beautifully. He was a pleasure to work with, very responsive and professional. He picked up the table immediately and delivered it back to us completed 5 days later, I highly recommend!
I brought a Gateleg table that was in need of refinishing. Juan was able to bring it back to its original state and in a timely manner. The piece came out so beautifully I dropped off another furniture piece for him to work on. Highly recommend!
Juan refinished my 25 year old dining room table. He did an incredible job! He sent progress pictures to make sure I was satisfied. Honestly, the table looks brand new! He was a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend using them.
