“KFR Restoration + Design custom built cabinets, a bench and hooks for our newly built mudroom.  Kim took the basic, unfinished design and not only brought it to fruition, but improved it with the finishing  and nuance in the details. The result is beautiful, functional and very much to our somewhat perfectionistic desires.

All in all, this was the first positive contractor experience that we have had.  Kim and her team delivered on all fronts while limiting our stress.  We will definitely have more work done by KFR!”

“We had KFR Refinishing repair a recent break and refinish our antique nesting tables after their quote compared favourably with two others we received and reviews were promising.  The set hadn’t had any work done since my grandfather refinished the tops in the 1960’s.  Kim kept us informed with emails and photos and consulted with us as the job progressed.  The wonderful results give us joy every day!”

“Hi Kim, WOW,  the rocking chair looks excellent, more than I expected.  I didn’t really think about what all you were doing to it beyond gluing it back together.  Chris and I talked a bit & sounded like he actually enjoyed working on it too.  He explained about the two plugs also, same as you’d noticed and mentioned it to me.  Anyway, we’re pretty happy with it & thank you both very much.  Now I know why you’re so busy in there.  Take care.”

“Hi Kim:

Thank you so much for the excellent work you recently did on a bookcase I inherited..!!

While I brought in the bookcase simply in hopes that the musty smell might be removed, I did not expect it would turn out so beautifully.  It was a pleasure working with you and I am most grateful for your easy-going, non-pushy manner . . a model for all service providers. 

Best regards,”

You did some excellent work for me last year re-caning an old chair.  I’m very pleased with it.  We have 6 dining chairs that need reupholstering. . .could you please give us an estimate?

“Two biiiig thumbs up for Kim & Crew!  Very easy going, no BS.  We entrusted them with four pieces of handcrafted Japanese furniture that had been damaged during an international move (leg completely broken off a chair, split table top, etc).  The pieces were fixed beautifully in less time than estimated, and at a very reasonable price.  If only all businesses were as professional the world would be a better place,

Thanks again.”

“I am very happy with the services provided by the team at KFR Restoration and Design.  They did an excellent job at refinishing my antique bedroom set and the end-product looks like it’s brand new.  They completed their work on time  and their final cost was very close to their original estimate.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this company to others nor would I hesitate to use them again.”

Neo Picard (June/22)

“Kim and the KFR team were highly recommended to me for the restoration of a 400+ year old dining chair in rough shape.  My faith (and those that recommended) was entirely justified, as the KFR team rose to the challenge and returned with an absolutely stunning final product.  Many thanks again to Kim and her team.”

I am so happy.  The little oak chest sits kitty-corner to a large oval table in our dining room.  And that table is another piece that you redid many years ago when you were located off Preston.  I know I can always count on your shop to do a terrific job.

Thanks again”

“Kim and her team at KFR refinished my 110 year old front door on my home in the Glebe and did a fantastic job.  Their passion for restoring wood and their attention to detail is very evident.  I highly recommend KFR Restoration.”

Paula (September/21)

“Thank you Kim for the comprehensive service to restore a dining set.

First, quick reply to my request by email for a quote, then consultation, advice, paying attention to my specifications and expectations, tests of colours, etc.

The time required to complete the work was as stated, plus pick up then delivered by careful movers, a visit to the workshop to see the work in progress, etc.  It could not have been better.

The work is to my finest expectations.  In short, a most pleasant experience for me.  The restoration gives a new life to an otherwise worn-out dining set with an outdated and dull finish.  Today it looks beautiful all over!

From a very satisfied customer, and a much demanding one, too.”

Yvon Trudel (September/21)

“Kim, we are thrilled with how well the chair turned out.  Thanks so much.  My daughter couldn’t remember which arm our dog chewed it looked so good.”

Debra Armstrong (August/21)

You guys did an outstanding job on the chair!  I’m delighted.  At some point, I would like to bring in its twin for a tune-up.  It needs a lacquer re-fresh.”

I just wanted tp let you know that we’re very happy with the restoration you’ve done to our bedroom set – it looks great!  You’d swear it was a brand new set.

As well, the movers were also very professional and courteous.

So Thank You and the team at KFR for a great job.”

Christopher Dinelle (June/21)

“Excellent and efficient customer service!  I purchased a teak dining table and end table from a private sale and both were in need of repairs.  KFR was able to fix the table very quickly and refinished the end table to make it look better than new,  improving its value to three times what I paid for it!  Kim also has an amazing eye for design and helped me choose the perfect dining chairs that matched the size and style of my home.  100% recommend KFR and the quality work they do.”

Melissa Bindner (April/21)

“Hi Kim,

Just a quick note to thank you very much for the beautiful work on the dining table.  It looks fabulous – keeping the old school glory while looking good as new.  I really appreciate your beautiful work, patience with me, and kindness with my Dad.

“When shopping around in Ottawa (about 6 quotes) to find the best company offering the greatest value to refinish my bedroom set, I entrusted KFR Restoration + Design with my project.  In addition to exceeding my expectations with the quality of their work, their service is second to none.  During the process, they invited me to come  see progress and consulted with me on an ongoing basis to ensure my complete satisfaction.  Furniture was delivered at the agreed upon price and on time.  Their advice on right amount of colour selection, distressing and finding me the right knobs to achieve the look I was after was spot on.  A big thank you to Kim and Nick for their excellent work.  I highly recommend this Company”

Stuart MacMillan (September/20)

“Hi Kim,

We love the table, Its so beautifully done we are “afraid” to use it.”

Cheryl Barber (August/20)

KFR did an exceptional repair to our 19th century guiltwood Italian Rococo mantel mirror.  They were great to deal with and their knowledge, expertise, experience and attention to detail has no peer in the Ottawa area.  Based on our experience, we have another wood furniture project we are bringing to them to handle.  We highly recommend KFR.
