Bob & Sons Refinishing

I picked up my Gio Ponti chairs redone with wheat textured velvet. I love them. I’ve been carrying these chairs around for 13 years. Daniel and his family were able to resuscitate every fade, every crack and restore these to original ash blond finish. They’re truly sweet and as comfortable as possible because Daniel recommended extra cushioning. I’m looking forward to the next project with Bob and Sons.

If you ever need to restore/​refurbish your wood that had been passed down to you as family heirlooms or even if you are lucky enough to live in the heart of NYC in an historic brownstone-​they can do it all!

These guys ripped me off! They don’t show up. They do a crappy rushed job and won’t fix it. The two sons are scumbags and the father just stands there and says he’ll fix the issues.
I should have sued them but figured they’re going under anyway.
Stay clear of these low life’s. They have more excuses than anything.

Bob and Sons were working on the stairs in our house, stripping and staining them. They said it would take a month. They started and at first everything seemed great, but then they stopped showing up. Sometimes they would come for like, three hours at a time and that was it. The project ended up taking two months. They also stripped a whole part of the wall that we had not wanted done, and then said it was going to cost us $ 200 extra dollars to fix their mistake! They cracked the walls in many places. The color was not consistent throughout, they left nails in the stairs and just painted over them. We spent a total of $ 10,000 on their job and ended up having to re-​do most of it ourselves and after getting a handful of other contractors in here to look at it, they all told us we were overcharged. I work in real estate and always want to recommend people to new home buyers and I would never, ever recommend Bob and Sons to anyone. I feel they truly ripped us off and took advantage of us, and now we are left with ugly stairs. Please, please get multiple opinions before you have anyone do work on your house. Lesson learned.

I hired these guys to do some stripping and varnishing on my fire place mantles, staircase and what was going to be my shutters.
WARNING: They over charged me on everything and even asked for additional money on things in addition to the over quoted price. The work on my staircase cost a small fortune and the finished product was sloppy and rushed.
I never got to the shutters because they really pushed the envelope on costing. What they wanted was ridicules and I finally pulled the plug.
I would not recommend them. There would have to be miles more honest and better quality refinishing companies around Brooklyn.
To sum it up
1)The stain was uneven and streaky in parts.
2) Nails and the like were still left in the wood and simply painted over.
3) The stain muddy and inconsistent. Overall terrible unfinished product.
