Against the Grain Finishing Company

Throughout the entire process, Colleen and Rick exhibited professionalism and a friendly demeanor. They proved to be excellent collaborators. Our furniture, purchased 23 years ago, has been utilized daily by our extensive family and three children, leading to deep scratches and worn varnish. The results of their refinishing jobs were truly stunning, surpassing the furniture's initial appearance. Their prices were quite reasonable, and we would enthusiastically recommend their services to anyone interested in furniture refinishing.

I had a buffet refinished by Colleen and Against the Grain and was pleasantly surprised with the results. The color matched my other furniture seamlessly and it turned out even better than I had hoped. The project was completed in just a week, faster than anticipated, and the price was fair. I would certainly enlist their services again in the future.

After moving to Portland, I was faced with the daunting task of finding someone to refinish my grandmothers' table and chairs. The table was a treasured piece from my maternal grandmother and the chairs held a special place in my heart as well, having been passed down from my paternal grandmother. Unsure where to start my search, I took a chance on CrackerJack, a furniture finishing company that I had never used before. Of all the people I contacted, only Colleen from Against the Grain Finishing company responded. I was drawn to her friendly emails and decided to bring my table to her for a consultation. I am thrilled with the outcome of the work; Colleen and Rick were able to expertly remove layers of white paint from the bear claw table, revealing its beautiful wood and intricate leg details. They also expertly repaired a split seat on one of the chairs and stabilized both of them. The stain-matching they did was impeccable and I could not be more pleased with the end result. Colleen's passion and dedication to her craft shone through in our interactions, and I will definitely keep her contact information for future needs. I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking top-quality furniture finishing. Though I never had the chance to meet Rick in person, Colleen was a delight to work with and it is clear that she truly loves what she does.

2 desks were refinished wonderfully by Colleen and they appear stunning. Colleen promptly responded to my email inquiries, delivered on schedule and had reasonable prices. I would highly recommend her services to anyone who desires to refinish their beloved wooden furniture.

Rick and Colleen were an absolute pleasure to work with, displaying impressive efficiency and professionalism. I had complete confidence in their ability to handle my precious Grandma's bed and was thrilled with the stunning results they delivered. They definitely earn the number one spot in my estimation and I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking furniture refinishing services.
