Voices of Restoration
"This was a phenomenal experience. So easy to work with, a fantastic and punctual final product after an unusual request that required real creativity. Could not recommend more highly!!!"
"Hillbilly Barter & Trading Company recently refinshed a family cherished dining room table for us. Amanda and Doug worked with us on coordinating the project. The table is absolutely perfect now which saw 4 kids grow up and 40 years of use. Our only regret is we can't leave a 10 star review which they deserve."
"I commissioned Hillbilly to paint a small farmhouse table and side board and it turned out exactly as I imagined. They sent updates throughout the process. The finish is smooth and sealed well-no chips or wear even after daily use. I really appreciate the communication and care they put into their work. Highly recommend."
