Testimonials

They did a great job on our dining room table. Very friendly and performed the work in a timely fashion. Will definitely use them again!

I have had the pleasure of working with Luciano Colella, The Gilder, for many years.  Every project he has completed for me far exceeded my high expectations.  He is a knowledgeable, skilled artisan.  He is honest and fair.  His work is beautiful and precise.  I wish I could give him ten stars.

I recently wanted repair to a hutch that I took home from my mother in law after she needed to downsize.  After looking locally to find someone close to me in Trumbull, CT, I found the Gilder, Luciano Colella.  Based on previous reviews, I hired him.  What a great find.  Just a great person with a lot of talent and very honest.  Picked up the piece, restored the piece, delivered the piece.  Great job, fair prices, very responsive.  I will certainly use his services in the future.

Antique sofa in need of significant repair & reupholstering.  The folks at Gilder were prompt, responsive, and really nice to work with.  They did a magnificent job on the sofa, and I'll definitely be bringing more pieces back to them for repair & restoration.  I recommend them highly.

We had a king size bed and kitchen table refinished by The Gilder.  The finished product was exactly what we wanted.  Luciano stayed in constant contact with us throughout the project and was a pleasure to work with.
