John F. Duge, M.D.

Dear Friends:
We are writing to thank you for the excellent care you took of our old couch.  It dates from the early 1950’s and was in considerable need of refurbishing: re-upholstery, new cushions and frame modification and reinforcing.
We are especially pleased with the first-rate job of rebuilding the frame and raising the whole couch three inches higher off of the floor.  The frame is secure, firm, solid and even.  The upholstery itself is beautifully done; the fringe and cording in particular were straight, even and well installed.  The down wrap on the cushions was done well; the finished job makes them look plump and attractive and they are very comfortable - a pleasure to sit on.
And, all your people - in particular buzz, with whom we had the most dealings - were pleasant, knowledgeable and helpful.  In addition, my wife accidentally left her purse in your workroom, with considerable cash in it; one of the workmen found it and gave it to your front office immediately and it was returned to us without loss of anything.
Thank you!  We will certainly recommend you to our friends!

Sincerely,
John F Duge, M.D.

Dear Buzz;
Ed and I returned recently from our summer travels and are settling in for a while.  China was fascinating experience, but it’s good to be home again!
And what fun it is to have a “new look” in the house to come home to.  In all the rush of leaving we weren’t able to fully appreciate your meticulous workmanship, but now can see you are a master of your craft!
The stripes on the sofas, cushions, arms and covers were beautifully designed to line up with one another - even the small pillows fit the patterns.  The other three chairs and those in the dining room are also lovely.
Thanks for your care and craftsmanship and for getting it all done before we left.  Good planning and foresight went into that.
We’re delighted with the job you’ve done and will recommend you highly whenever we can.
Thanks again.

Sincerely,
Catherene Phillips

Dear Buzz,
Wayne and I are so pleased with all the work your shop has done for us over the last few months - or more accurately - for the past 10 years!
I cannot recall who referred you to me originally, but I certainly owe them a big “THANK YOU”!  All my realtor friends who have used your services argue over who found you first.  The important point is that we are all continually pleased by the quality workmanship, the good value, and the prompt and professional service you always provide.
After having you do several sofa remodels and upholstery jobs, Wayne and I were delighted to learn that you do cabinetry work too.  We cannot believe how beautiful the teak looks on the dining table and chairs that you just delivered yesterday.  And, those new cushions are much friendlier on our backsides!
It’s my pleasure to continue to refer clients and friends to you.  Keep up the magnificent workmanship and friendly service!

Sincerely,
Ann Wille & Wayne Clites

P.S.  I am taking the 18 service providers that I recommended in my 2002 real estate newsletters and presenting their names again in a service provider’s directory.  Point Loma Cabinetry & Upholstery will be included, of course.  I will be sure that you receive several copies when they come out next month.

To whom it may concern:
Upon recommendation, we approached Buzz Rodriquez with a specific need to customize furniture for a very small bedroom for our 10-year-old son, at a reasonable price.  He listened and responded with a solid, well constructed loft bed that stands over a beautifully crafted desk that fits perfectly in the space and will likely last a lifetime.  We were pleased enough with the quality of his work to hire him to build custom bookcases, dresser and entertainment center all within an 11x11 foot space.
We have also engaged him to build and upholster a boy-size chair and reupholster and rebuild several pieces of living room furniture.  Again, his prices were fair, he completed the work within a reasonable time and we were impressed with the quality and care his staff put toward each piece.
We would definitely do business with him again and recommend him to others.

Sincerely,
Kristin Ewald

Dear Mr. Rodriquez,
The antique restorations that you have recently completed are outstanding!
The turn-of-the-century matching couch and chair that you restored were of special challenge.  The ornate wood carved ‘framing’ needed much care to return to its original splendor.  The stripping of the old and the conditioning for the new was clearly done to provide many years of durable beauty.  The coverings are modern, environmentally sound and absolutely exquisite.
Your thoughtful suggestions during the fabric selection were key to the process.  Your calm and confident manner and your wife’s enthusiastic knowledge allowed for a very comfortable creative environment in which to choose from an extensive variety of options and led to a winning collaboration between craftsman and client.  Bravo!
The balanced attention to detail, your insightful interaction with your customers and your experienced craftsmanship make it an ongoing pleasure to recommend you to any and all who need upholstery services of the highest quality.
Many thanks to you and your excellent crew!

Sincerely,
Hazel Maureen Barr
