Mark Ofengenden

This guy is rude and threatening. I was contacted by him through Home Advisors. When I decided not to have him come to my home he was very angry and said he paid $ 20 for my phone number. I told him that wasn’t my problem and he said he would make it my problem. I hung up and even thought about calling the police. I don’t know if he is good at what he does or not but he is scary.

I had a great experience with Mark. He came to my home to provide an estimate and picked up my chair, all on the same day of my initial call. He fixed my chair and re-​upholstered it with my own fabric. The piece is beautiful and will be in my family for years to come. This is not an inexpensive service, but you get what you pay for. I’d recommend probably only using him for furniture that’s worth saving either due to value or sentimental reasons.

One of the worst service ever took a 60 dollars without even given a good/​realistic estimate

Several pieces of wooden furniture had gouges, which could not be taken care of simply. They each required a certain degree of skill, which Mark clearly has. He responded promptly to pick up the pieces and returned them on the date promised. His work is not inexpensive, but his craftsmanship was necessary to do the requisite work. I would give him 5 stars for the work and 4 for the price, if I could divide up my review that way.
Bottom line: 4.5 stars and yes, I would call him again for similar work!

Mark answered the phone when I called, and we arranged a time the same day to assess and pick up four 1950s mid-​century modern walnut dining room chairs. He charged me a more than fair price to take the chairs apart, re-​glue the joints and recover them with fabric I provided. Once he knew these were our only dining room chairs, he agreed to try and finish them within 2 weeks. He called in one week and told me they were done. The chairs look new and are very sturdy.
I would highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for furniture restoration, he was very easy to work with and the quality of his work is excellent.

I had Mark repair two wood chairs that were so wobbly, one could not safely sit on them. They had both been reglued previously and came apart the first time someone sat in them. My husband also attempted making a new brace for one of the chairs and that also broke. Mark picked up the two chairs, redesigned and made a new brace for each of the chairs. Both are rock solid. He delivered the chairs back in nine days. Mark’s price was not the least expensive, but his work was excellent, and I have learned with these chairs as with most things, «You get what you pay for.» I would use Mark again.

We had Mark repair a cane backing on one of our dining room chairs. The repair was timely and beautiful! Highly recommend the guy. He is an old school craftsman.

Worst experience I’ve ever had with a repairman. He charged an outrageous price to repair a leather swivel chair and then refused to tell me what he had done to it. I suspect it was only replacing some missing screws in the swivel mechanism, but he wouldn’t say. Stay away from this guy!

I called Mark and told him I had a broken piece of antique glass in my China Cabinet, and asked specifically if he could fix it or knew someone who could. His response, «of course I can fix but it will cost you $ 60 cash for me to come look at it.» I said Ok.
Mark showed up, with not tools, not measuring tape basically saying Oh sure I know someone who can fix, and took measurements, using my tools and paper, and said he would contact someone and get back with me to get a quote and get it fixed.
He took my $ 60 and I have not heard a word from him since and it has been over a month.
I would not recommend nor deal with him again based on his lack of follow up and attitude.
I guess i was stupid to give him the money, and expect him to get back with me.
My Bad…

I had Mark clean up and polish an antique brass mirror from my wife’s grandmother. He did a great job and charged me a more than fair price. He was easy to get a hold of and speak with when I needed to.
I would highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for furniture restoration.

Just horrible! This guy has some attitude problems. I asked him for an estimate for what I need done, and he came back with the same question to me, saying how much are you willing to pay. When I started to tell him how much I paid to buy my chairs and that’s why I don’t want to spend more than the price to fix the legs, he yelled back saying I should not waste my gas going to his store and he won’t do anything for me. I totally agree with what Arnab said below, I got the same type of customer service from him. I am glad I didn’t hire him for my job, after reading others experience here.

Excellent service! Mark took our beloved recliner in to be fixed and gave it back to us in PERFECT condition and quicker than his estimated time! It works better than before. Definitely will be calling him again for our furniture repairs.

I spoke to Mark regarding the cost of re-​upholstering 4 leather chairs. He quoted me $ 400 per chair to fix, which is twice what it cost me to buy new. Then he yelled at me, saying what my budget was. When I said $ 50 he hung up on me. I am not sure how good his work is, but it’s gotta be amazing and better than new if the attitude and prices are what was quoted to me.

Fortunately for us, we found Mark on Unilocal to repair our leather recliner. A bracket fell off and the reclining mechanism no longer worked. He gave us an estimate for repairs when he picked up the chair on Friday, rebuilt the structure with frame reinforcements, a new ratcheting mechanism, and returned the chair the next afternoon. It is MUCH better now and works beautifully! All of this for one-​third the cost of a new chair… HIGHLY recommend his service and attention to small details! Mark is a true craftsman!

Mark reupholstered a leather office chair for me. The result is excellent. His work was completed in a very short time and he did what he said he would do. I would recommend Mark for any furniture restoration project. Warren G.

Mark did two projects for me and the end results were AMAZING. One was to create side rails for my 4 poster bed. The side rails were lost by movers. I never thought I would be able to match the furniture. I also thought it was an easy job. I learned that it was just the opposite. The stain matches the rest of the bedroom set exactly and the side rails look like they are original pieces.
The other project was to secure floating shelves securely to the wall.
Do not hesitate to use Mark for any furniture projects. I highly recommend Mark for any woodworking project.
