Lupe came highly recommended by Beauty Kiss Carpet who did our kitchen flooring. I'm so thankful we found Creations! We had maple cabinets installed 22 years ago and the had turned orange and looked very tired and worn. Painting was not an option, as maple is my favorite wood. Lupe came to our home and stripped one area under a counter to see if they could be saved. The change was dramatic and amazing! The orange was gone and the beautiful wood came back. Lupe did such a wonderful job making our cabinets look new, we couldn't be more pleased! I strongly recommend Lupe for any cabinet restoration, he is a craftsman extraordinaire! Thank you Lupe!

Lupe is a true artist!! We had TrueGrain build us a couple beautiful custom cabinets for our 100 year old home and they recommended Lupe to stain and finish them. We had him stain our french doors to our bedroom, the new dining room custom nook, paint the new hallway custom cabinet to match our casing, and refinish 20 year old Henredon glass curios to match the dining room cabinet. We are thrilled with each piece and the value it adds to our home! My husband is a contractor, so he is very picky about quality and professionalism. Lupe was always punctual, professional, conscientious and a master at his craft. We HIGHLY recommend him to anyone looking for quality refinishing!!

I had been looking for a way to refresh my bedroom. All the furniture I looked at was so expensive so I decided to refinish my existing dressers and cedar chest that are extremely old. I found Creations in Burbank on Lake St. Lupe the owner is a highly skilled craftsman. He took my old painted pieces and transformed them into works of art. I have had work done in the past but never to this degree of quality. He had me come to the shop several times to have me ok colors. He applied paint while I watched. He worked until the color was perfect for me. I cannot recommend Creations enough. They are fair pricing with outstanding service and quality of work.

We hired Lupe to refinish a patio picnic table that was weathered and scratchy. He was responsive, friendly, and came over to see it in person to give us an accurate quote. He took the table away and brought it back more beautiful than when it was new. His price was reasonable and his work is excellent. Highly recommend him! Thank you, Lupe!

Lupe did a fantastic job on our furniture. A dining room table was refurbished and he brought out it's unique characteristics as well as a coffee table and old kitchen table that both look good as new. He really did a great job and we're so pleased! We will be using him again and we definitely recommend his work. Terrific!!

We had Lupe refinish our entire kitchen cabinets in August 2020. He did an awesome/excellent job. He gave us a realistic time frame and everything was done in 3 weeks. Our kitchen cabinets look brand new. At first we wanted to change the entire cabinets but since the quality of the wood is still in excellent condition, we chose to have them refinished instead. And changing them from ground up would cost us a lot of money. Lupe's price is reasonable. As I said the finished product looks brand new. Anyone who saw it thought we replaced all the cabinets. His wormanship is excellent. He and his assistant cleaned up after each day. I highly recommend Lupe. We are going through slow renovation of our entire house and I have some more wood I want refinished. I will defintely go back to Creations Custom Refinishing.

Lupe did a beautiful job stripping, repairing a big crack and minor dings and staining my solid walnut dining table built for my father in 1961. It had been sitting in my garage for the pas† 30 years and had developed a void where two pieces of wood had evidently shrunk due to expanding and contracting as the humidity levels varied. I recommend him without question to restore your fine furniture. Lupe and his helper also reattached the top to the very heavy cast bronze table base.

We used Lupe for a few different services and were very pleased. We did a full kitchen remodel and decided to use Lupe's services to refinish our existing cabinets instead of buying new ones. Our cabinets were a dark color and some cabinets were chipping. We decided to go stark white on our cabinets. Lupe did a great job! You cannot tell that the cabinets were a completely different color and the workmanship was excellent. We also purchased an unfinished wood hood and had plans to have the hood stained. We allowed someone to apply a small amount of stain to the hood and the color was completely wrong. We called the manufacturer and were told that the hood could not be finished with wood stain, it had to be painted. This was not communicated originally and we were very disappointed because it changed the design of the kitchen. We contacted Lupe and he was able to mix multiple stains together to create the perfect color without having to paint the hood allowing us to maintain the original kitchen design. The final project we used Lupe for was to stain the wood shelves in our kitchen. Someone had started staining them and the stain color was completely wrong. Lupe sanded the shelves and stained them and the color was perfect! We feel that the price for the quality of work was good. He was professional and timely. Overall we highly recommend Lupe's services and we will definitely be using him again if similar services are needed.

Lupe did a fantastic job with our kitchen cabinets. It was amazing and best of all much cheaper than buying new kitchen cabinets. I was afraid at first. I thought it may not come out so well. Boy was I wrong and glad to be wrong. They came out better than anything we seen in the big box stores. Nothing came close. Thank you Lupe for the beautiful work you did. My wife and I love our kitchen once again

Over the years we have used Creations on many home improvement projects including custom kitchen and bath cabinet refinishing. The results have always been fantastic. For our most recent project Lupe and his team completely transformed our china cabinet with a custom painted finish so it now better complements our new dining table. Instant dining room update! It is just what we wanted, it looks beautiful, and we are very pleased. Thank you!

We just got our table and chairs back and we couldn't be happier. This is the table that was in my family home my entire childhood. I didn't think it was save able. My husband insisted and we are thrilled with the results. Ready for another 50 or 60 years.

The team did an excellent job on our modern dutch bedroom furniture. It was pretty beat up with scratches and a long crack down one of the long dresser's side. Creations came and picked up our three pieces and did an amazing job restoring each piece. Then brought them back when they were done. They were able to restore each piece it's original beauty. We would definitely use them again!

Lupe did a great job with my kitchen cabinets. And he even drove out of his way to come pick up the check because I couldn't get to him due to work and family commitments. He restored my 1953 knotty pine kitchen to its original condition and let me choose the shade of finish that I wanted.

Lupe and Julio did a fabulous job refinishing our bed, desk, futon, and bench. We contacted Lupe on a very tight timeline since we were moving and he was very responsive throughout the process. We visited his shop and between our photo and the samples they had on hand, we were able to determine the right color, texture, and finish to suit the specific look we were going for. Not only was the work done on time, on budget, and surpassing our expectations, but Lupe also picked up and delivered our furniture at no extra charge. My wife and I can't say enough about how thrilled we are with the finished product and we are so excited to move into our new home with a brand new look for our furniture at a fraction of the cost of buying new. Great job guys!
