Most Frequently Asked Questions

Our furniture restoration services include anything that needs to be done to get the piece looking good as new. This could be as simple as a basic strip and refinishing job, repairing or replacing wood components, respringing couches, or reupholstering fabric or leather materials. No matter what needs to be done, we’ll do it to make sure your furniture looks its best.

We prefer to completely strip the finish from the furniture and then follow up with sanding when doing furniture restorations. This allows us to fully remove the finish and work with the natural wood to get best fit on any repairs we need to do, and then give the furniture the cleanest possible finish so it looks good as new.

Yes, it is! If you are looking to restore an antique piece with fabric or leather components, then reupholstery is the only solution. Even with contemporary furniture, reupholstery can be more cost effective than replacing the piece. Reupholstering furniture is also better for the environment because it keeps furniture that could still find use out of landfills.

We can definitely restore any piece of furniture that has pet damage. Scratch and bite marks may look like they aren’t fixable, but once we replace the damaged part, making sure it matches the rest of the piece, and putting a new finish on it, the furniture piece will be good as new!

Value Restoration

In bringing a piece to its truest, most beautiful possible expression, antique furniture restoration serves as an investment; the craftsman’s hand not only preserves, but enhances value. The piece gets carefully ferried through time in the highest possible fidelity; its condition increasingly betrays its age. In a sense, the material is rendered as timeless as the design, aesthetically enduring into greater and greater rarity and privilege to witness.

We nurture antique furniture to its fullest potential, maximizing worth as heirloom treasure, market item, or simple appreciation in everyday life.

Don’t be discouraged by a rip in an antique couch or chair cushion, a scratch on a table, or a faded finish on a cabinet; we can be trusted to maximally restore both appearance and functionality.
