I recently had the pleasure of working with Restorations by Peter to restore my mahogany front door and sidelights, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, Peter demonstrated exceptional craftsmanship and professionalism.
The door had seen better days, with weather damage and fading from the sun that made it look worn and uninviting. Peter took the time to assess the situation thoroughly, explaining the restoration process and setting clear expectations. His attention to detail was evident in every step, from stripping the old varnish and stain, sanding and refinishing to the final coat of varnish.
Throughout the project, Peter was communicative and punctual, ensuring that I was informed and satisfied at every stage. It was a pleasure to work with someone so dedicated to their craft.
If you're looking for a reliable and skilled restoration expert, I highly recommend Restorations by Peter. He truly exceeded my expectations, and I’m grateful for the wonderful job he did on my door and sidelights!

Peter repaired end tables that our father had built over 40 years. They look absolutely beautiful. The workmanship is excellent

Peter and his talented team provide outstanding craftsmanship and attention to detail. Our mahogany front door looks like new after they refinished it -- erasing years of sun damage. The door is beautiful again. I could not be happier with Peter's results.
Contact Peter for high quality restorations.

Two of my new kitchen cabinets were damaged during installation. Peter and Omar were able to repair the cabinets in place. This allowed me to avoid the expense and possible damage that could result from removing the cabinets and moldings. They took great care to fill in the damaged areas and then perfectly match the stain color and sheen. They are true artists with unique skills. I will definitely be calling on Peter for furniture refinishing.

Front door restoration: The door turned out nice and the process was good before I paid them, but after the door was delivered and I paid them the final balance we noticed hardware original to the door was missing. I was told they would look at the shop and get back to me, but they never called and never answered my numerous follow up text and calls. So now the door sits unfinished missing the parts. Would have liked to leave a positive review, but the end left me disappointed and frustrated.

Our chairs are perfect!!!!!We have now asked him to help our kitchen cabinets which have some splits in the woodPeter will without a doubt made them like new!Thank you Peter!!!

Peter just refinished two of our Ethan Allen pieces: a desk and an entertainment unit. Both were originally finished in a dark stain, but Peter suggested a lighter look with more contemporary brushed nickel hardware. They look amazing! We are really happy that we chose to refinish instead of replacing these pieces. Best of all, Peter is easy to work with and responded promptly to our calls and texts. He showed up on time and transported our furniture for us—no heavy lifting for us. We will definitely use him again in the future for a table we have in the living room. Don't hesitate. Call him!

Peter did an exquisite job of replacing the oak beading on a treasured grandfather clock that belonged to my great grandmother. He hand carved a perfect replacement for a long-lost piece of trim. He is an artist! I cannot recommend him more highly.

Peter Schichtel and his skilled team are amazing furniture restorers! They expertly repaired a lovely 19th century secretary that had lost much of its banding. They didn’t make it look like new, they made it look like the beautiful antique that it was. The warmth and patina of the piece were maintained and the repairs were flawless. He has repaired other pieces of furniture for us with equally excellent results. Peter Schichtel is incredibly knowledgeable, a master craftsman and a delight to work with. We couldn’t recommend him more highly to repair and restore your cherished furniture.

Peter did an amazing job with my large Mahogany doors; he lacquered the inside, and did a high-gloss finish on the outside. Pete and his team went above and beyond to make me happy. He was so nice to work with, and truly cares about his work and his Clientele. I am a professional Interior Designer with 26 years of experience in the field, and I have worked with the best. I can honestly say that the work that Pete did on my doors is outstanding, and I would highly recommend him for any finishing job. The job I gave him was not easy, and he came through and exceeded expectations.

Absolute amazing job by Peter and his team! He restored 4 doors in our 1766 farm house, which were covered in years and years of paint. They look like works of art. Better than I could have imagined! Worth every penny.

We recently used Restorations by Peter Schichtel, of Morristown to resurface our kitchen island wood countertop. He arranged to pick up and redeliver the finished product within two weeks (allowing a few days for color samples to be approved). The entire team was extremely professional and knowledgeable. They were willing to take the extra steps to achieve the color palette we wanted. The countertop was returned on schedule, and it came out beautifully. It exceeded our expectations! We were extremely pleased with the service and work of Peter Schichtel Restorations.John and Lisa Giannone

I took this rifle stock with finish issues in to Peter, and he stripped off the old finish and refinished it in a beautiful walnut with a lacquer topcoat for protection and shine. Just look at this beautiful wood now! This guy does some seriously great work with wood. No hesitations to bring him anything else that needs work next time!
