History

Kramer’s Furniture and Appliance Refinishing has grown into the largest family-owned refinishing business in the Inland Empire. It was established in 1945 by Henry Kramer and is currently operated and owned by Dennis Kramer, the third generation of family members. In 2002, Wayne Kramer, the fourth generation of furniture refinishers, joined the company, and he is looking forward to the future of this family business.

Kramer’s is located just north of historic downtown Redlands on Stuart Avenue. The business was first located where the Redlands Mall now stands on Fourth St. for 11 years. Kramer’s Furniture moved to its current location in 1989 after the redevelopment of downtown Redlands. The business has now been on Stuart Avenue for 14 years.

Every generation of Kramer’s has developed new and innovative services to offer to the community. The business first started out as a paint shop where historic Brookside dairy trucks, local moving vans, and regular passenger cars were painted. In the early 1960’s Kramer’s developed new talents and began painting appliances and furniture. This talent soon became the main specialty that the business offered. Since 1970, many different specialties have been added to the list of services that Kramer’s offers the community.
