Custom Furniture Finishing

Custom Furniture Finishing operates as a furniture repair shop and cabinet maker out of a location on Ayers Street in Corpus Christi, Texas. George handles the work on cabinets along with furniture repair, refinishing, staining, custom molding, reupholstering, and lacquering. The business also takes on tasks like building drawer fronts and doors plus restoring older pieces such as tables, chairs, desks, and mirror frames. Customers reach the shop through the listed address for drop offs and pickups.

Reviewers describe jobs that include refinishing a large oak dining table with eight chairs and staining them darker while also repairing three of the chairs. Others brought in an old desk for repair and refinishing that came back looking brand new after two weeks, an end table that received a solid fix, and custom molding that turned out well. One customer ordered drawer fronts and doors in early February and collected them in June after a drive to George West following a referral from CC Molding. Another dropped off a grandmother's mirror frame from the sixties for lacquering on the shop visit.

Work happens at the Corpus Christi shop with customers noting long gaps between drop off and completion along with repeated difficulty reaching anyone by phone. Some waited four months or nine months for items with little contact in between and one case produced no repairs at all after that time. A few had to chase updates through other local businesses or wait in another town for pickup. The shop stays open for visits where people can see ongoing projects but response times vary widely based on the accounts.

The listed Google rating stands at 3.8 from zero reviews while the provided customer accounts split between strong marks for the finished results on multiple pieces and low marks tied to delays plus unreachable staff. Topics that repeat across the accounts center on solid outcomes for the actual repairs and finishes when completed against ongoing problems with contact and timelines.

“George is working on a project for me but I haven't been able to get hold of him for several weeks. His shop is dark. Anyone have any information? Hoping he is well. update: Had to chase George down through CC Molding, who recommended him. (CC Molding was great and very helpful.) Ended up driving to George West and waiting an hour in the town square for George to roll up with our drawer front and doors. He did a beautiful job, but I would not use him again. We placed our order in early Feb. and picked it up in June, with little to no communication in between.”

“There are not very many master craftsman around, anymore. But George is one of them. He helped me with some custom molding and did a great job.”

“George is the absolute best at what he does and it's just a joy to go to his shop to bring him something to stain or reupholster so we can see what else he's working on! He is passionate about his work and it shows! Between my parents and my husband and I, we've probably had him work on 5 or 6 pieces now and I just looked up his listing to get his phone number so I can find a good time to take him my grandmother's mirror from the 60's to get the frame lacquered. It seemed like a good time to leave a review. Many thanks, George!”

“George refinished a large oak dining table with 8 chairs, stained them darker and did an amazing job. He did a fantastic job repairing 3 of the chairs. I highly recommend Custom Furniture Finishing.”

“I took a few items for repair and could not have anyone return my calls when inquiring about the date the items would be ready. Nine months later, I finally had a text response that I could pick the items up. No repairs were done on the items. After being theee for 9 months. Beware!”

“I had an old desk that need to be repaired and refinished. When I got it back 2 weeks later, it looked brand new! I was very pleased with their work. I would recommend these guys to anyone.”

“I've called almost daily and no one ever picks up the phone. That's not how you do business.”

“fixed an end table for me and it was excellent above and beyond”
