Romani Restoration began in San Francisco in 1986 as an antique-furniture refinishing service. Marco's craft deepened in the year 2000 in Florence, Italy, where he studied French Polish and traditional stain-mixing techniques that few craftsmen practice today.
He relocated to Pasadena and has now restored fine wood for over 35 years — expanding into the historic Craftsman and Bungalow homes the city is famous for. Every project is handled personally, by hand, with the patience of a true artisan.
This Arts & Crafts 1910 Craftsman-style home overlooks the Arroyo Seco in Pasadena. In 2009 it was awarded the Historic Preservation Award by the City of Pasadena and the State of California for its meticulous renovation and refinishing restoration.
Romani Restoration was awarded this certificate for the excellent interior woodwork — a lasting testament to Marco's dedication to preserving Pasadena's architectural heritage.

Marco refinished the old wood in our Craftsman home and the results were excellent. I was particularly impressed at how he blended in old patches and repairs so they became nearly invisible. This was years ago and the wood still looks excellent.
Great guy, great work. He stripped and refinished my massive walnut desk which had years of abuse, three moves, and one prior improper refinishing job. He worked around my schedule and takes immense pride in his work.
I hired Marco to restore 2 Craftsman doors after several companies turned the job down as too damaged. Everyone recommended I just get new doors — and I did, but for a quarter of the cost, because Marco restored them beautifully.
Marco is a true craftsman. He restored the wood in our living and dining room that had about twenty layers of paint — now it probably looks better than it did 100 years ago. His attention to detail is above and beyond.
I called Marco to restore a mid-century buffet that's been in the family for years and I couldn't believe it when he finished. It looks like new, the color is gorgeous and every little detail is perfect. Extremely professional and meticulous.
We met Marco over 13 years ago. He has beautifully refinished several pieces of furniture and restored the intricate woodwork in our Craftsman/Victorian home to its finest glory — paint stripping, stain matching and a custom final finish.
