Our Story
Since 1991, the Central Valley has trusted us with what they treasure.
Bob Nixon opened the workshop in 1991 with a simple idea: treat every piece like it matters. Today, our family team — Bob, Jenny, and Dick — still restores pianos and furniture the old way, by hand. A great-grandmother's table, a 100-year-old upright, a chaise that's been in the family for generations — we take them in, study them, and return them better than ever.

What our customers say.
"Restored my nearly 100-year-old Rand McNally globe — the wooden stand, brass meridian, spinning mechanisms, and fading ink all painstakingly restored to museum-level quality. If you need truly outstanding craftsmanship for something you treasure, my highest recommendation."
Chris S.
Antique globe restoration
"Transformed an old grandfather clock into a beautiful heirloom, even preserving a historical record from 1803 written in pencil inside the door. All of my kids want me to pass it down to them."
John G.
1803 grandfather clock
"A repeat customer for 10+ years — baby grand, console, upright. They use the most ultimate caution and care. I won't use anyone else. The prices are VERY reasonable too. Thank you Bob Nixon."

"Exceptional restoration on my mother's 1948 hope chest. It is now a family heirloom, thanks to Nixon's Oak Tree House!"

"First-class professional crew moved a baby grand with just two experienced movers, on time, in and out within 30 minutes. Hire professionals — they made it look soo easy."
Dale N.
Baby grand move
"Brought in a 1920s chaise lounge that was almost beyond repair. He transformed that chaise into a beautiful antique fit for royalty. That kind of talent, skill, expertise, reliability and honesty are hard to find. A++++ service."
