Restoration, Renovation and Refinishing of Antique Furniture

Furnishing a house or apartment, the correct placement of elements is a natural and non-alternative way to decorate the interior. A person himself cannot imagine his/her existence without these objects, whether it is a chair, a table or a bed. However, each thing has its own service life, over time it is getting old. For some, it is easier to throw away an old chest of drawers, a sofa that got worn out and lost its appearance, or, simply, gone out of fashion.

Reupholstery and Furniture Restoration

It is well known that a good professional can make the beloved table and chairs look like the new ones or sometimes even better. A good table has a great value, that is why a good table is expensive.

Second, how the table is done, how much effort and skills have to be applied in order to make one. Such tables will serve for several generations.

It is time to Refinish Wooden Furniture

I always get a question when the wooden furniture should be refinished. Of course we do refinishing work all year around but a really good time for wooden furniture refinishing is starting now - late spring, the whole summer till the middle of fall. It is the perfect time to do the refinishing of outdoor furniture: tables, benches, chairs, decks and patios. The wood during this season is perfectly dry and the refinishing process goes quickly and smoothly. 


I must say that even indoor furniture: tables, dressers, chairs etc are much better to refinish during summer than winter. During the summer season we have an augmented number of orders for outdoor wooden structures, decks, patios, sidings or fences.
