David Erickson's Wood Doctors Repair & Restoration

"The expertise, care, and consideration shown by David and his team are completely unmatched. It is evident upon arrival that they care deeply for the people they are doing wood restorations for. I will continue to call on their expertise for the rest of my days, as well as recommend them to anyone who asks! Great Christian family owned business, you will not be let down!"

"David Erickson's Wood Doctors Repair & Restoration is an absolute mastershop. I am only too lucky to live in the same part of the US that they're located, right across the East end bridge. Erickson's woodworking expertise (and the expertise of his sons, who he mentored himself as they grew up) is remarkable. My wife's heirloom rocking chair, weathered by time and generations of neglect, was perfectly restored here. The attention to detail and care taken with this early 1900's piece of furniture was exceptional. The first thing David did was notice the "old growth" wood that my wife's great-great grandfather used to build it, which, I was informed, is the only reason it hadn't dissolved completely through years of wind, rain, snow, and all else. He was able to tell me exactly, without batting an eye, the order of all the layers of paint that were visible (there were 4 if I understood correctly). David was extremely friendly, showing me around his shop, where his sons do most of the hands-on work. I jokingly referred to them as his apprentices, and he quickly corrected me: "Masters. My sons are masters. I'd put them against anybody." We talked for a while about his history building and restoring furniture, his process, and eventually even got around to talking about reading the Bible, something we both take seriously and were able to share with each other. When I left my wife's most valuable possession with him (without her knowing even, it's restoration being a Christmas gift) I was absolutely confident he was the one to fix it, and I left completely at ease. He finished it in a timely manner and communicated openly through the whole process. Erickson's expertise, and that of his sons, is unparalleled—you will not find someone better in a 500 mile radius (or perhaps, on the whole Earth!) As he said when I went to pick up the restored chair from him: "I've done work for royalty... You got the same level of care as I gave them.""

"True craftsmanship. I have been around antiques all of my life. I have seen really good repairs and really bad repairs but I have never seen better repairs. My family piece was damaged in shipping and I despaired. Fortunately I found The Wood Doctors. Amazing workmanship and they stayed in contact with me throughout the whole project. Very reasonably priced for the quality of work."

"Brought in my great grandmother’s rocking chair to be restored as a present for my mom. They restored it to what I imagine is nearly new. It looks amazing and while it took some time, it was well worth the wait. Definitely recommend."

"Absolutely stunning work. In 10 days they restored my table and 6 chairs. The table is stunning from top to bottom. They even refinished underneath the table and repaired sides that had been dulled and damaged over the years. A 20 year old table came back to life, more beautiful than it was the first day I got it. The chairs were all damaged and they replaced the seats with new wood and put new fabric on. They are finally safe to sit on again! :) Couldn't be happier. And they got this all done with a rush job. They put their hearts into our furniture and I'm so grateful. Worth every penny and would trust them with any piece anytime."
