There have been so many small businesses in our area affected by COVID-19. One local business has faced adversity before and is determined to keep going. Yeah, Mikey Hood stopped by Grimes Interiors in McKees Rocks to find out about their winning attitude and customer service that keeps customers coming back. The Spanish Fluid of the Depression, World War One, World War Two, of course, is a very important and important part of the pandemic. And it's a very important part of the pandemic. World War Two, of course, Vietnam. That business, Grimes Interiors, furniture repair specialists, stand strong in McKees Rocks. Once a railroad town is home to this fourth generation family business and staple in the region. It started in 1907, approximately, with my great-grandfather, William F. Grimes. In the old D. C. Murphy building, Grimes Exteriors has been located in McKees Rocks for 30 years. And even through COVID-19, one thing remains the same. We really focus on the quality and the customer service, the old-style customer service. And restoration is what they do best. We can take something that's 100 years old, a-pulstered, remove all the materials off it. And the springs have the frame repaired in our wood shop, then touched up or possibly refinished the wood frame and then back upstairs to our poultry shop for the complete respringing, repatting and upholstery. Everything is done in-house. Customers bring in tables, desks, antique furniture, heirlooms, and they also see plenty of. . . Usually chairs, like dining room chairs, they're usually coming in to get repaired and then possibly like a lacquer touch-up if they get real sticky or g They'll get stripped on a top, color matched and finished and made to look new again. Duane says his customers don't want to throw away a quality-made item just because it's old or needs to be repaired. We're asking people to maybe make a phone call, make an appointment, emails, email pictures to us, name and phone n Usually we can respond within a day. It's the personal touch that matters. A secretary desk and it doesn't have this key to it. John will a lot of times make a key for it and little things It's been around a long time. It's been generations. How many years it's been going on? I'm the fourth generation and we have some children here. They're very well, could be the fifth generation. Their customers always come back. He says it's the quality of the work. Doing little things and touching it up and making it look really good, cleaning it down and when they see it, they're amazed. They're amazed. That is so neat. Yeah, it was neat. I love seeing that story. Really because I think furniture can be really expensive and oftentimes it's overlooked that sometimes you can just get it fixed. Yeah, and apparently Mikey can do it for you. How about that? Because we saw her at work there so she learned something new and I have a couple dining room chairs I may want to talk to her about. Just thinking about, oh, you want Mikey to do it.
