Criterion, Inc. was founded on the simplicity of the American Dream. The promise that hard work and good customer service pays off and endures the test of time. In 1978 James Kaufman was approached by a person whom he was working for and asked if he could reweave a high-end piece of lawn furniture. Knowing that his mother had taught him these very skills as a child he said yes. Wanting to do the job properly he went downtown to visit the store that sold this furniture and requested the proper material to complete the job.

Criterion strives to attain the most professional finish on every piece we restore, continually searching for the newest techniques in application and materials. We found that building our own customized blast room allowed for maximum efficiency with minimal outside interruption. The final product is a direct reflection of the initial sandblasting process. Our blast technician will only use the proper blast media to remove the existing finish, metal oxides or manufacturing by products that remain on the metal.

More than 35 years has passed since Criterion opened our doors for repair of Brown Jordan furniture. Since then we have expanded our strap replacement to sandblasting, powder coating, wet painting, welding and frame repairs, sling replacement, and umbrella repairs. We are a trusted source for Brown Jordan offering warranty repair service using authentic Brown Jordan replacement parts. Rest assured, we will give your outdoor furniture the same white glove service we have provided major manufacturers for years.

Powder coating is the fastest growing finish technology in North America, providing numerous industrial applications for all forms of materials and products. This is an exceptional medium to apply to outdoor metals for both the commercial and the consumer side and lends itself to especially well to patio furniture restoration. The powder used in our process is a mixture of finely ground particles of pigment (color) and resin (protective finish), which is negatively charged and sprayed onto the positively charged surface to be coated.

Criterion speaks to the true heart of giving and keeping family traditions alive. Generations to come will enjoy the handiwork of our skilled craftsman, and when they are ready to update their family heirlooms, rest assured Criterion will be there to out perform the competition. With Criterion, you get the service you need, outstanding prices, personal attention from experienced professionals, and a true partner dedicated to helping your project succeed.
