Benefits of Ottawa Furniture Repair & Refinishing


  • Avoid Extra Investments & Costs: Buying new furniture for your Ottawa home or business can be expensive. If your pieces are structurally sound and just need a facelift, furniture repair and refinishing is a far more affordable solution.
  • Protect Sentimental Value: Some pieces carry memories that you cannot replace. Ottawa furniture repair allows you to keep meaningful furniture in your family while giving it a fresh, updated look.
  • Preserve Timeless Furniture Pieces: Older furniture is often made with stronger materials and more craftsmanship. Repairing and refinishing these pieces lets you keep that quality instead of replacing them with mass-produced items.
  • Maintain the Condition of Your Furniture: Scratches, dents and water marks do not mean it is time to throw a piece away. Professional Ottawa furniture repair can restore the appearance and extend the life of your furniture.
  • Create a New Style: If the bones of your furniture are good but the style no longer matches your space, refinishing lets you update the colour and finish while keeping the piece you love.

What Affects the Cost of Ottawa Furniture Repair


  • Current Condition: If your furniture needs structural repairs in addition to cosmetic work, more time and materials are required, which increases the overall cost.
  • Age of the Furniture: Older or delicate pieces demand extra care and sometimes specialized tools or products, which can affect pricing.
  • Furniture Size: Larger items such as dining tables, armoires and sectionals take longer to repair and refinish, and they require more finishing products.
  • Complexity: Detailed carvings, curved shapes and unusual finishes require more hands-on work. The more complex the piece, the more time our Ottawa furniture repair team will need to achieve a flawless result.
