About Legacy Restoration
The passion behind the success of Legacy
Restoration lies with its founder and chief
restorer, Israel Simoes.
His work with, and understanding of, the
complexities of wood began in his youth
apprenticing with local craftsmen.
Years of formal instruction and hands-on training,
in the techniques of fine wood finishing for both
antique and new word work, followed under the
eyes of masters including the Isabel O'Neill Studio
for Faux Painting, NYC.
Utilizing his own blends of products and
processes, Mr. Simoes has revitalized valuable
furnishings and wood pieces, restoring and
enhancing their natural beauty and strength, and
providing home and business owners an
affordable alternative to replacing fine wood
furniture and fixtures.
Legacy Restoration maintains excellent customer
relationships with a long list of satisfied
homeowners, decorators, designers, architects,
conservationists and restorers who know us for
original design, fine craftsmanship and finishing.
Our achievements include the successful
completion of unique projects on every scale,
from re-gilding a Louis XIV dining room set to
refurbishing a kitchen to designing and
constructing a wooden nature path leading to a
private beach on Long Island's exclusive East
Hampton shores.
