Report
We have kitchen cabinet doors above our stove and there had grease build-up. I tried to clean them but used a cleaner that blackened the oak wood pores. Kelly's refurbished them to match the rest of the cabinets, at a very reasonable price, in a very timely manner. We are very impressed with the result and the quality and responsiveness Kelly's provided. We'll go directly to them the next time we need quality wood refinishing. Thanks.
