Completely and pleasently satisfied

TMC Restoration just re-upholstered my leather reclining sofa and 2 chairs. After being told it could not be done by others, I was glad I found TMC. They guaranteed their work, but the price was a bit too high, I still trusted them to do the work, which they did. YOU ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR anyway. They kept me up-to-date on the progress of the work and delivered before the promised time.

Before I took delivery of my set, they called me to tell me that it looked beautiful and I thought to myself, sure it looks beautiful, you just re-upholstered at a costly price, you're not going to tell me it looks awful.

However, when it was delivered to my home by two very professional and attentive men, my husband and I were truly surprised, my couch doesn't look re-upholstered, they have kept the integrity of the set and its now a brand new leather couch. We are very happy with the work and service received, yes I could have bought a cheaper less expensive set, but it wouldn't have been the one that I really wanted, like this one.

Thank you so much TMC Restoration for the work well done and appreciated.

And thank you Marie for this detailed, insightful review! At least in our industry, you certainly get what you pay for. Shortcuts are rampant & there is a lot of poor work being done. Cheap, low cost disposable furniture attracts many consumers as well. But we exist for consumers just like you; people who own quality pieces & want to keep them for a long time. You made the right choice. Over the long term it is also the economical choice. Thanks again. Your recommendation means a lot to us.

Reupholstered chesterfield and four dining room chairs.

They made our furniture look and feel like new; we couldn't be happier! They finished the project before the date they had said, and delivered the newly restored couch and chairs a couple of days after it was ready.

Had dining room chairs completely refinished and the seats reupholstered

My chairs have never looked better. It is an old dining room suite and the chairs were very scarred. The seats were not very comfortable after sitting on them for a while. Now the new foam makes them very comfortable and the wood looks amazing. The price for the work seemed high but they look and feel like brand new chairs.

Fantastic job in restoring a dining table

TMC Restoration did a fantastic job in restoring an old dining table for us.
This dining table was gifted to us by a friend almost 30 years ago when they had to leave the country. We used it for a couple of years and then had to put it in storage as we too were leaving the country to work in Asia.

When we returned almost five years ago the table was put in use again, but because of its dark colour and having dents and cracks here and there, I was thinking of getting rid of it. But my husband always had a love for it and wanted to have it restored.

We found TMC Restoration at their booth at the Stouffville Home Show. Robert, TMC's representative came to our house to inspect the table, and convinced us that it was made of high quality solid wood and definitely worthwhile to have it restored. Robert explained their meticulous restoration process in great detail, how TMC's workmanship and services stand out from other companies, so we decided to give the table a new life.

Tino, who is responsible for customer service was a delight to work with. He was very efficient in handling the logistics after the table was picked up. He opened our eyes to the true beauty of the table - its natural wood colour which is much lighter, and the grain which was never visible before due to the dark painted colour. What's more, Tino and his colleague Guy gave us valuable information on the type of wood that our dining table was made of, the characteristics of the wood, and its design style. It is reassuring that such information came from the TMC Restoration expert team.

The delivery team was also very helpful in the pick up, delivery as well as disassemble and reassemble of the table.

We are very very happy with the work that TMC Restoration has done. The dining table is now a centre piece in our dining room, and will definitely stay with us for many more years to come.

Thank you Carol for sharing some of the history behind this unique piece. We are so happy to hear that you are pleased with both our customer care & workmanship! Here at TMC we are always amazed at how the restoration process awakens the brilliant, natural wood grain of antique furniture. Pieces like yours are well worth restoring for several reasons. It warms our heart to know you have placed the piece in a prominent location in your home. You must be attached to this piece to have hung on to it for so long & to finally re-invest in it by having it professionally restored. Enjoy!

Sectional Reupholstery

We recently had a 5-piece sectional with massage reupholstered by TMC. The final result turned out fine but the steps to get there were very disappointing and unacceptable

- A 2-3 month job turned into 5 months

- A broken recliner pull handle which was pointed out in the original contract was not fixed when the piece was originally returned and it turned out that the part hadn’t even been ordered yet 2 weeks AFTER the section had been returned to TMC

- The corner section with the massage unit was delivered with the wires hidden so it was returned to TMC. A couple of weeks later the section was re-delivered with the assurance that the wires were exposed but, again, they were still hidden

- There was no proactive communication from TMC. We had to constantly chase them down to get updates on the job

TMC enthusiastically disagrees with the characterization of this review. As the customer mentioned, the result turned out just fine. The customer describes a project that required two service attempts. We acknowledge these services did occur, and on both occasions, TMC promptly responded to the customer's calls, collected the furniture and rectified the issues. We are not perfect and do not claim to be, but we pride ourselves on our commitment to servicing all of our valued customers. In addition to the quick resolution, we wrote this customer a contrite apology for the delay. In our humble opinion, a firm that responds promptly to requests for service is... a good company? 
We have been in the furniture restoration business for 30 years. Sadly, most firms will not service or honour the same request this customer had. We did. 
We hope prospective customer's read this 2-star review and notice the effort to satisfy this customer. In our opinion, this 2-star review reads more like a strong 7 to light 8.
