Testimonials

Kelvin Parris is a consummate professional both in his dealings with people and his skill with furniture. He responded to my emails and calls in a timely and polite manner. I have been in the furniture and antique trade for 25 years in London and New York and have dealt with many restorers in my time.  Kelvin listened to what level of repair I needed, did it right away, did not bankrupt me in the process and was a pleasure to do business with. I hope to use him for many years to come. Thanks again Kelvin - nice to meet you.

Kelvin from Parris Restorations came to my house to give me a quote on restoring a Coffee Table.  He was punctual and his quote was within reason. I was so pleased with the results I asked him to restore damages to a beloved family heirloom bar that had been passed down to me. He once again performed a quality repair at a reasonable price. A couple of years later, I had Kelvin give me a quote on my wooden fireplace. Parris Restorations refinished the entire wood frame to absolute perfection.  I was impressed with the pride they take in their work. I cannot tell you how many visitors to my home compliment me on how beautiful my fireplace looks. I highly recommend Parris Restorations, it was such a pleasure doing business with them.

Parris Restorations simply does fantastic work. I had them refinish an entire heirloom Mahogany bedroom set and I was so pleased that I had them refinish and reupholster two other antique pieces – an 18th century chair and Setee. Kelvin has a fantastic eye for refreshing a look and making things more modern but not losing the original charm and integrity. He is very meticulous and always a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Kelvin and Parris Restorations. They perform expert work, are professional, timely and very reasonably priced.

I would like to tell the world of the terrific job Kelvin Paris did on two antiques that have been in my family forever. He did such a beautiful and thorough job on the first table, I had to have the three tiered table refurbished by him also. Thank you Kelvin.

It is with great pleasure that we write this recommendation for Kelvin Parris and Parris Restorations.  We have known Kelvin since 2002, when he was referred to us by the Rose Furniture Company to repair the delivery damage to our prized Henkel Harris furniture. Needless to say he did such a great job in repairing the damage and restoring the finish that you would not even know it was repaired. Over the years Kelvin has returned many times to perform his meticulously precise damage repair process; that time, children and grandchildren made inevitable. His work always exhibited the professionalism and high standards that we have come to expect from him. He is a careful, talented and thoughtful individual who will not undertake a repair if he doesn’t believe he has the particular expertise or facilities for the work to be done properly. He would prefer to recommend someone he knows and respects to do it, thus ensuring your complete satisfaction. In addition to furniture repair and restoration, Kelvin has guided and supervised the renovation of our kitchen, including cabinets, walls and ceilings. He has proven to us that he is a consummate professional with a kind and generous personality in addition to being a dedicated and caring family man. It is therefore without hesitation that we endorse and most highly recommend Kelvin and Parris Restorations.

Parris Restorations has repaired and re-upholstered many of my furnishings over the past 6 years. I first learned of Kelvin and his company through a guide of recommended restorers put out by Stickley. He did a great job refurbishing 100-year old chairs. Since then he has refinished some desks and dressers and re-upholstered some family furniture, making everything look clean and up-to-date, while maintaining their charm. He has also been honest about the worth of repairing some items and has cautioned against putting money and effort into lower quality items. That honesty and advice is much appreciated.
