In 1986 with a major in Wood Technology (learning the micro structure of
wood and its abilities) the process of taking a tree and making a piece of
furniture out of it, Rick saw an opportunity. Rick began working for
The American Placement company as a regional manager overseeing the delivery
of all JcPenny Portfolio furniture in Connecticut. While repairing the
damaged goods Rick decided to pursue the furniture repair field. In
1991 he began to work for Raymour and Flannigan, at one time one of the
largest furniture chains in the US. Performing in home repairs, Rick
began to learn the art of refinishing and left the company to start his own
company, Mcpherson Finishing of Syracuse, New York. Contracting for
upscale companies such as O'Dunkin O'Bright, The Piano Organ Center, The Wood Shop, and of course residents in the area, he felt the need to upgrade his finishing skills. In 1998 he began to work for
a local cabinet company as the lead finisher doing on-site refinishing and repairs and in-shop
finishing of all case good cabinets. Being asked to join the National
Furniture Restoration hotline was a big step for Rick as he started to take
in mass quantities of unfinished furniture from a company in New Hampshire
and custom color match & finish their furniture. In 2003, Rick decided
to move to Ohio. Rick reopened his business in Ohio as Allwood
Furniture Repairs where he works for companies such as The Holiday Inn
Express, Troutman Interiors, The Granary, Gromans Piano, as well as residential customers. With knowledge of refinishing and the knowledge
of wood itself, Rick began working with Hardwood Floors. Being one of
the few that have knowledge of color matching the floors to the customers
request is just one of the things that separate Allwood Furniture from the
rest. The main thing that has always remained is the fact that every
customer he provides service for is always satisfied no matter what it
takes.
The age old meaning of customer service is still strong with Allwood Furniture Repair.
