What People Say About
The Wood Wizard

Gail K.

Wood wizard is a perfect name. They are truly magicians when it comes to furniture repair, restoration and refinishing. We’ve used them many times and have never been disappointed. And, we’ve recommended to friends, who have all had equally positive experiences. They are the best!

Matt S.

They did a fantastic job. Their work is incredible and their repairs are indistinguishable from original wood.


Janet K.

Darrell repaired my mid-century teak desk, whose surface had been deeply gouged during a move. I was delighted with the outcome and the price was reasonable. Darrell had honestly told me that “this will never be perfect,” but to me it was next-to-perfect, even though it was a book-matched veneer surface. As long as Darrell is the Wood Wizard guy, I highly recommend.
