Testimonials

I have had the pleasure of working with Finn for many years and I cannot say enough good things about him. His talent for furniture repair and finishing is truly exceptional – he has restored and refinished countless pieces for our design projects, and the quality of his work is always outstanding.

Beyond his craftsmanship, he is one of the kindest, most honest, and dependable people you will meet. He is always responsive, works in a timely manner, and charges fair and reasonable prices. In an industry where reliability and quality can be hard to find, he consistently exceeds expectations.

I trust him completely with my clients and projects, and I recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for beautiful workmanship and exceptional service.

I am fortunate to have met Finn years ago. I have used him for several projects and I could not be more pleased. Professional, dependable, and a true craftsman. His work is impeccable and he always does exactly what he says he is going to do. I trust him implicitly and I have referred him to several clients, all who are equally pleased. I cannot say enough positive things about Finn!

You totally exceeded all of my expectations! You are an amazing craftsman…so dedicated to detail and preservation. Clearly you love what you do. My rocker is very special to me, and it never looked so good. Now I can pass it on for generations to come. Thank you.

Thankfully, I met Finn when I moved to Sarasota in 2011. He repaired some antique furniture that I had and did an unbelievable job for me! Since then I’ve had most of my interior design clients utilize his talents – which are many. From refinishing pieces that are period, Art Deco, creating gilded finials for a Japanned Secretary, to repairing a bone inlaid Moroccan sculpture, to taking the chips out of a lacquered piece of furniture (this in the past 2 years); I now know that Finn
can do anything.

Finn apprenticed abroad and worked for many years before acquiring the skill set that he now wields with maximum aplomb. Sometimes I’m lucky enough to watch him bring a treasured item back to life for a beloved client and it gets me every time. In addition, he’s a great human being and fun to be around, especially when he’s in his groove.

As an interior designer and a retail shop owner, I’ve been lucky to know and work with Finn for over 25 years. He’s a true “craftsman”, in every way that title implies. There’s almost nothing he can’t repair, restore, or bring back to its original state. He’s completely honest when explaining what to expect both in results and in cost. In addition, he’s the kindest, calmest person you’ll ever meet, and has a following of loyal clients who respect him wholeheartedly. I look forward to
future projects.
