When I was looking online for a furniture restorer I picked Before and After just based on their reviews. I am now very happy to add my voice to the chorus... While my wife and I were out of the country this summer, our housesitter's idiot boyfriend took my wooden office chair out on the porch and then forgot to bring it back in again. It then remained outside for a month suffering severe sun and and rain damage. When we finally got back, the finish was all blasted away, the joints were loose, and it looked ready for the junkpile. But I really liked that chair and wanted to have it restored.Dan Bailey not only brought the chair back to life, it actually looks better now that it did even before the accident. All the joints were tightened up too, of course, and it really is good as new. He also let me know that I was right to restore it. Turns out the chair is solid oak and worth a lot more than I had thought!I had to drive all the way down from Chicago to get it to his workshop, but I'm glad I made the trip and would certainly do so again. Dan was great to work with, and the price is very reasonable considering the quality of the work. I give Dan Bailey and Before and After my highest recommendation.

Thanks to Dan Bailey owner of Before & After my dining room looks great. It was a pleasure doing business with Dan and great to get such personal attention from start to finish. My dining room table was a family antique. He was able to Match the color to other pieces in the room and had a huge selection of fabric to choose from to reupholster the chairs. They have never been so comfortable. Prices were compatible with other companies but the quality of his work can't be beat! I would recommend him to anyone!
