"Woodworking, furniture makers without compare…anywhere. I have had many antiques pieces restored or repaired by Johnny and John. Perfect is their standard. Their latest effort has been to create a French Deco desk and bookcase working from examples from that period. If you appreciate fine furniture, you’ll know that “they don’t make it like they used to.” The Renaissance Shop does. Extraordinarily pleasant to work with. Their attitude matches the quality of their work."

"I had the fortune of finding The Renaissance Company--locally owned in our city, to refinish four pieces of heirloom, family furniture. I could not be more impressed with the results. The precision, attention to detail, and commitment to perfectionism truly sets them apart from anyone else!
From start to finish, it was clear that they take pride in their work and they go above and beyond to ensure the highest quality results. They do not take shortcuts---they are dedicated to delivering flawless results on each piece.
I can not recommend the Renaissance Company enough to anyone looking to restore or refinish their furniture. They will make it a masterpiece and exceed your expectations.
Exceptional craftmanship, dedication to quality -- a true standout in the industry. Thank you for a job well done! STUNNING WORK!
Posted before and after photos for one of the pieces done by John."

"Our antique English mahogany dining table was badly damaged by Hurricane Ida and Johnny and John did a fantastic job restoring it to its original beauty. The work was impeccable and their customer service was very personal and highly professional. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for future furniture restoration and highly recommend this business. "
