A&G Finishing

Mark came out to give me an estimate on refinishing my kitchen cabinets. They needed it after 60+ years! My kitchen project was located in a historically designated mid-century modern condominium in Pasadena designed by the noted developer, Lionel Mayell.

The kitchen wasn’t elaborate in size but had interesting features including all original built-in appliances. I decided it was time rehabilitate the kitchen but wanted keep all the original historic cabinet features. Mark was able to help me carry out that vision with a complete refinishing of all the original cabinetry.

I wanted the new stain to show the beautiful ash wood graining but still work with the mid-mod cabinetry hardware and pulls. Mark carefully described the process necessary to recreate a new taupe-color stain for the original blond ash cabinets. He was even able to repair damage caused over 60 years to some veneer to the point where you couldn’t tell it had been “repaired.” I also put in a new quartz top replacing the old Formica countertop and my project to sensitively preserve a historic small kitchen was complete!

Mark was able to do the job, explain costs, and provide me with adequate timelines for completion. All this even through a pandemic lockdown!

Mark and his team made my 20 year old maple kitchen cabinets look new again! He did a great job refinishing the cabinets and matching the original color. He restored the beauty of the wood. His team was on time and kept a very clean work area. In addition, his bid was spot on and they finished on time. I was very pleased with the result and would recommend them without reservation.

Mark restored and did a piano mirror gloss paint finish to a buffet which was a family heirloom piece. It had a lot of sentimental value. The work he did was that of a serious craftsman. And while Mark is serious about his work I found him to be a very funny and personable guy, which I also appreciate. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Mark work on other projects in our home. A high recommend.

Mark built a cabinet for our entry way that was precisely as we'd envisioned it. He incorporated every detail we asked for and the result came out amazing. We'll definitely look to use A&G Finishing for future projects.

Mark and his team did great work on refinishing our old kitchen . My wife and I never thought our kitchen could look so magnificent. It transformed the look and feeling of our whole house. Mark truly cares for his work, making sure we were satisfied every step of the way. The price and schedule were also as promised.
