Refinishing
When you want a brand new look
or the original finish is beyond saving. The original finish is
completely removed. The freshly exposed wood is sanded stained and a
brand new fresh finish is applied. Not recommended for antiques of
value. Occasionally old stains and defects cannot be completely
eliminated. (Great option for good newer furniture that has seen bad
times. Costs can vary depending on the finish you select and the type
and style of the furniture).
|
Refurbishing
(no stripping)
To tighten and repair loose
joints, adjust doors and drawers. Clean and cosmetically improve the
overall appearance of a piece. Coloring or filling scratches and chips.
Blending worn areas with new stain. Revitalizing existing finish and top
coating with a fresh new clear coat if needed. (Most economical option.
Perfect for "everyday" home or office furniture that has just gotten
tired and a great enhancer for your family heirlooms
)
Antique Restoration
Careful attention to
detail and the processes of the original maker. Matching original and
authentic hand applied finishes and stains. Using vintage and carefully
matched woods for replacement parts. Duplicating as closely as possible
the techniques used while never destroying the original integrity of the
piece. (Most costly process. Very labor intensive. Best for museum
quality antiques and for those who truly love the art and craft of years
gone by. These projects are usually bid with an open ended estimate.
Final cost cannot be determined until the piece is completed.)
|
Touch Up / Spot Repair
To
Repair damage to the wood and blend the finish to match the surrounding
area. This can often be virtually undetectable. (Much cheaper than
refinishing. Great for isolated damage. A must for Furniture Stores,
Movers, Hotels restaurants and Claims adjusters). |

finish. Some finish may remain in grain, carving details etc.
|
|

|
|
Refurbish
Clean, restain as needed and
top coat with lacquer over existing finish. Produces a clean and nearly
refinished look in many cases. (Refurbishing not possible in some cases.

results and may require refinishing to correct.)
