Oscar’s Furniture Refinishing

I purchased two side tables that I was SUPER excited about. Unfortunately, I didn’t pack them into the car as well as I should have and they got scratched up pretty badly. Pictured is side table #1 — the FRONT top was deeply scratched and I was DEVASTATED :(Called around town, emailed pictures to people, but Oscar offered the best prices and I immediately felt like I could trust him after speaking with him over the phone– between his years of experience and fair price that he offered I felt confident that he would do an excellent job. I felt this even more so when I met him– he was kind and explained his process to me because he could tell I was pretty anxious about getting a perfect repair on the scratch (you can see how deep it was). I left side table #2 there just in case I wanted it repaired as well although I didn’t feel as though it was as urgent given the scratch was in a less noticeable place and not as deep. Oscar said that he could get the job done in two days! I came back to find a PERFECTLY fixed side table. The top finish matched the bottom unscathed drawer and the grain on the wood looked 100% unscathed, grain as it was originally. I was SUPER impressed and overjoyed. So excited that I went ahead and asked Oscar to repair side table #2– I thought why not have two perfect side tables now. :) I would 100% recommend Oscar’s Furniture Refinishing. Not only was the job well done and beyond expectation, Oscar is just a really really nice guy. He saw that I had interest in looking around his studio so he gave me a tour of his place despite having work to do. I really appreciate his honesty and how much care he put into his work. Thank you Oscar!

Oscar and the employees at his shop are wonderful. I actually picked Oscar’s to refinish my family heirloom furniture based on Unilocal reviews and y’all weren’t wrong. The family table and buffet previously in my mother’s house in ATL is now beautifully refinished. You can see the grains in the wood now. They removed 40 years of wear and tear. Reasonable turn-​around time and fairly priced. He does not pick up or deliver but as another reviewer said, I called Michael, per Oscar’s recommendation to transport my furniture. Thank you Oscar!

I had a mixed set of midcentury dining furniture that I needed refinished. I had walnut chairs from my family, and a teak extendable dining table that had gouges, scratches, water rings, burns, etc, but it was structurally sound.
I reached out to 3 refinishers: one was expensive, the 2^nd couldn’t bother to respond, and Oscar’s was quick in communication and by far the least expensive.
They had the furniture for about 2 weeks. When I got them back, they looked amazing! The teak table was stained a bit darker than natural, but it now matches the chairs perfectly… and the darker stain helps hide the patches in the gouges (which I knew would be impossible to get rid of completely). they also smoothed out the beams underneath, so the leaves extend very smoothly.
Only downside (but not a deal breaker) is that they don’t offer transportation, but they quickly recommended Michael @ American Way Movers who was very reasonable. they also said they wouldn’t reupholster the seats, so I had that done at F&S Fabric.
All in all I’m very happy and It looks like a complete set now, looks brand new, and all for less dollars than if I went out and bought an already refinished antique set.

I wanted to preserve my mom’s 60yr old hope chest. I went to a shop in Redondo Beach & was disappointed with the estimate & service. I found Oscar’s and was so impressed with his knowledge, expertise and prices. It is clear he does business via
‘old school values’. He is honest & doesn’t cut corners. The shop is old, clean and has many pieces of fine furniture ready to be refinished. Oscar has been in the business for a long time and is respected by many. My hope chest was immaculate! I highly recommend Oscar & his staff to work on any time of furniture. His work is outstanding!

I give 5 stars to Oscar without hesitation.
I brought back from Bali a substantial wood turtle carving, made by a friend and woodcarver; however, my friend had insufficient time to cure the wood entirely, or stain it. I brought it back, and after a few months, when it was ready for staining, I found Oscar by web surfing. I took the piece in to his shop on Jefferson, near Crenshaw. Oscar looked it over, and gave me a very reasonable price to stain and finish it. He did a simply excellent job.
You can feel that this is an honest man, and a craftsman. In his shop, I saw numerous pieces of fine furniture he and his crew were working on. He seems able to handle all sorts of refinishing work with all varieties of finishes.

I went on a very active search, trying to find an individual or shop that would take care of a number of furniture pieces that I needed to have repaired and refinished. I found the shop and the individual at Oscar’s Furniture Refinishing.
Some of my items were nice pieces of furniture that required nothing more than a good refinishing job. But a few others were family inherited pieces that required care, personal relationship, and an understanding of their relevance.
My experience with Oscar was exceptional. He doesn’t just do the job, he takes pride in it. He isn’t cheap, but he is does his best to be fair. If you compare his prices to most other shops, I believe you will come away with the best price for the quality of work desired.
While picking up my beautifully repaired and redone furniture, I also happened to meet up with some of his family members who help out when needed. The strength of his familial relationships reflected the attention I felt given to my furnishings.
If this review sounds a bit «flowery,» forgive me. It’s just so rare, these days, to come across «old school» workmanship being implemented in current business practices.
Check out Oscar. I believe you won’t be disappointed.
