The bench guarantee
Estimate before we start. Redo or refund if it didn't hold.
Same terms since Diane painted them on the wall in 1989. Drop-offs go to either counter; most sharpening and screens come back in two to three days, keys and glass while you wait. Don't see the thing you need? Special orders land in 2 to 4 business days.
The whole pitch
Bring the broken thing. We'll take it from there.
The bolt, the chip of paint, the photo of the drip. Whatever you've got, bring it. Sixty-four years in, the answer is usually ten minutes and a few dollars away.
