OUR TESTIMONIAL
What Clients Say's?
Joel S.
Marco refinished the old wood in our craftsman home and the results were excellent. I was particularly impressed at how he was able to blend in old patches and repairs in the wood so that they became nearly invisible. This was many years ago and the wood still looks excellent.

Great guy, great work. I found Marco from his Yelp reviews and I was not disappointed. He stripped and refinished my massive walnut desk which had years of abuse, three moves, and one prior improper refinishing job. He worked around my schedule, including on a Saturday. He’s also a genuinely nice guy who takes immense pride in his work. He was a

I hired Marco to restore 2 Craftsman doors after several other companies turned down the job because they doors were too damaged (a combination of sun damage and dog scratching, plus one of them had just been treated for termites). Everyone recommended I just get new doors. And I did — but for a quarter of the cost — because Marco and

Marco is a true craftsman. He restored the wood in our living and dining room that had about twenty layers of paint and now it probably looks better than it did 100 years ago. His attention to detail is above and beyond what even my woodworker husband could have expected! He was recommended to me by my best friend who also had

I called Marco to see if he could restore a mid-century buffet that has been in the family for many years and I couldn’t believe it when he finished it. It looks like new, color is gorgeous and every little detail is perfect. He is extremely professional and meticulous and you can tell that he does his work with a lot of

We met Marco over 13 years ago as a referral from a friend. Not only has he beautifully refinished several pieces of furniture for our home, he also restored the intricate woodwork in our Craftsman/Victorian home to its finest glory. The restoration process involved significant amounts of paint stripping, wood preparation, stain matching and final finish. The woodwork has a custom color

Welcome to Romani Restoration
Welcome to Romani Restoration- your one-stop solution for all your craftsman home wood refinishing needs. We understand the importance of maintaining the aesthetic appeal of craftsman homes for their timeless architecture and intricate woodwork. Being experts in the field of wood refinishing and restoration, we can help you restore the charm of your craftsman home with our services.
Craftsman home designs were popularized in the late 19th and early 20th century in North America. This architectural style features low-pitched roofs, tapered columns, and exposed beams with intricate woodwork. The use of different types of wood in the construction of these homes adds to their unique charm. However, the woodwork of these homes may deteriorate over time due to exposure to the elements, pests, and other factors.
That’s where our expert refinishing and restoration services come in. We use premium quality materials and modern techniques to restore the natural beauty of the woodwork in these homes, all while keeping the original design intact.
Refinishing the Woodwork of Your Craftsman Home
The first step in the process of restoring and refinishing your craftsman home’s woodwork is an initial consultation. During this consultation, I will listen to your concerns and offer advice on the best course of action for your home. We understand that each home is unique, and we customize our services and solutions based on your needs.
One of the critical services we provide when refinishing the woodwork of a craftsman home is stripping the old finish off. Whenever possible, we use eco-friendly, low VOC (volatile organic compounds) products that are safe for both our team and your home. After stripping off the old finish, we inspect the woodwork for any signs of damage, such as cracks, splits, or rot.
As the sole craftsman, I repair damaged woodwork to precisely match the original design and wood type. I then meticulously sand the woodwork to eliminate any remaining finishes, scratches, or dents. Next, I perform any required staining or color matching before applying the final top coat. My products have been rigorously tested over time to ensure they withstand the elements and remain durable for years to come.
Restoration of the Woodwork of Your Craftsman Home
Restoration involves extensive repair and replacement of damaged or missing woodwork, requiring craftsmen with years of experience in recreating intricate woodwork while maintaining historical significance. Our team carefully removes damaged woodwork and crafts replacements from the same wood species and design as the original to preserve the woodwork and the home’s visual appeal.

EXCELLENT Based on 39 reviews Bill F.2025-04-28Verified Marco is the master - the one and only. About ten years ago, Marco stripped the white paint off our staircase and returned it to its original beauty. We just had him come back to restore several doors, including our massive front door. His work is meticulous, precise, and thoughtful.if you have a craftsman that needs correct restoration, there is no one but Marco. Dee E.2024-11-16Verified Exceeded all expectation! I cannot recommend them enough! Reliable and neat and the outcome-perfection! Alfred P.2024-06-03Verified My wife and I were very pleased with Marco Romani. He was very thorough in covering everything before he started restoring my front door and baywindow. Marco and his assistant did not rush thru the job but took their time to make sure everything was done correctly. Once everything was complete, he left the door and baywindow, looking brand new, and before they left, they cleaned up everything. We highly recommend Marco and his assistant, . Monica M.2024-04-06Verified Maestro Marco Romani is a miracle worker! He transformed every wood surface I asked him to tackle with meticulous care and extraordinary craftsmanship! I would give him 10 stars if I could. I used Teak Masters for a number of years--while Marco's services are a bit more expensive in comparison- the difference in quality isn't remotely comparable. Marco and his asstant Donner were here for a week, stripping, sanding, staining and applying finishing to the wood that makes it a thing of beauty. I can't recommend him highly enough. I'll never use another company again. Marco's in a league of his own! I'm ecstatic with the results. Ronald G.2023-11-20Verified There's a reason why Marco (Romani Restoration) is endorsed and referred by Pasadena Heritage: he's the best! Marco and his colleague, Donner, stripped 50+ years of paint off the mahogany/douglas fur windows, built-in bookcase, and hammered wrought-iron balustrade in our 1928 Spanish Deco in Glendale. His work is truly superb. When we have guests over, his work is usually the first things to get a comment in our home. It should be known that Marco is not only an architectural preservationist, but an artist. Someone who has decades of experience with an intimate knowledge of the oils, stains, color theory, and the methods required to restore the dignity back into the priceless wood that appoints these old homes. The paint strip, sanding, stain, finish, and reintroduction of any patina lost in the restoration is done totally by hand. Marco handles all the stain application and color matching--he is the expert, after all. Lastly, Marco did his best to work within our budget and timeframe; finishing the job within 15 work days and working 8am to 5pm. If you're looking for a topnotch job, you should choose Romani Restoration. You'll be happy you did. Thanks Marco! Nancy S.2023-02-06Verified Our 100+ year-old door was in really bad shape. Marco brought it back to life. The door is gorgeous. The whole experience was wonderful. Communication was great every step of the process. I would hire Romani Restoration again in a heartbeat. Allison A.2023-01-28Verified Marco is THE BEST!! He is incredibly talented, reliable, honest, and kind. We have a Craftsman home with a historic landmark designation, and wanted to make sure we hired the best person to refinish and repair our beat up and neglected front door as well as strip the paint off and repair the cracked screen door. Marco went above and beyond for us, working around weather delays and other unforeseen issues and always with a great attitude. The final outcome vastly exceeded what I thought would be possible at the start of this project; our door is now one of the prettiest features in our home. And not only is he a true artist, he is a wonderful person -- my husband and I were both a little sad when the project was over because we enjoyed talking to him so much! Eugene M.2022-09-21Verified Marco does a really wonderful job. He and his team (Donald was usually the other person there) are passionate about their work, very knowledgeable, and pay careful attention to detail, which is essential for restoration. You won't regret going to them. Margaret Y.2022-08-07Verified This was the biggest cosmetic project left to do on my 1920 Craftsman bungalow. I had to find someone who appreciated these old details and was a consummate craftsman himself. And I found Marco. He made the tired old built-ins, crown molding, windows, doors, and floor look just like the picture in my head. They went from sad to fab. He was a joy to work with: responsive, and true to his word. My painter got a look at his work and promptly asked for his name and number. Do yourself a favor and hire Marco for your wood restoration project. Nicole D.2022-06-19Verified Marco Romani is a consummate professional and a talented artisan. Working with him was a joy. He is friendly, conscientious, and has a very-hard-working, trustworthy team. He always checked in to make sure we were happy with the job and his crew, and you can tell he genuinely loves bringing life and beauty back to neglected wood. (And ours had really taken a weather/water beating! I could tell it hurt his heart.) Marco oversaw every detail of our three-month interior/exterior wood historical craftsman restoration, always personally doing the finished/detailed work. He is a perfectionist (exactly what you want when working with old mahogany!), and made sure every part of the job was completed up to his standards, or it was instantly fixed -- even when my dog may have trotted over some not-yet-dry finish. (Sorry!!) Every day the worksite was completely, impeccably cleaned up, so we could use our space. The workers arrived on time and worked full, honest days. (Marco was often the last to leave, working longer to make sure everything was right.) As a dog owner, having workmen you can trust is HUGE. Marco's team always made sure to keep our gate closed, threw away trash, and even put up paper to block my dog's view through the window so he wouldn't bark/be agitated by these men in the backyard - EVERY DAY! I am very grateful to them for this extra kindness. Whenever Marco and his team found something else that needed fixing, they repaired it without cost or fuss, replacing an old latch on a window or a burnt-out high-up bulb. They even installed black pegs my father cut to replace some that had fallen out of our woodwork, re-staining them with ink to make them pop. Coverings were put down to make sure there was no spillage or mess, and when our windows needed work, the team removed them in the morning and replaced them at night - every day! I am looking forward to working with Marco again on our next wood restoration project; I feel as though we have collaborated with a legend in the field. Romani Restoration is truly the best of the best.
