The Restoration Process
1. Assessment & Quote
Give us a call or send us an email – we can discuss your project and expectations. Images and clear descriptions are helpful. We’ll provide a quote for the project cost.
2. Pick-Up or Drop-Off
We’ll arrange a time to pick-up your furniture, or you can drop it off at our shop. Depending on distance and drive time we may charge an additional fee for transport.
3. Strip the Old
Wood begins to turn dark, dull and lifeless when it ages. Depending on the piece, we’ll use chemical strippers, belt, or hand sanders to remove the old varnish.
4. Sanding Smooth
Using medium to fine-grit sand paper, we’ll sand with the grain until the furniture surface is perfectly smooth – ready for the surface to be varnished and restored.
5. Stain and Seal
We’ll apply several coats of high-quality oil stain, lightly sanding in-between, in accordance with the wood type and the desired look and color. We finish with protective layers of polyurethane sealant.
6. Delivery or Pick-Up
Depending on the size of the job or our workload, projects may take anywhere from 1 to 12 weeks. After we’re finished we’ll arrange a time for delivery or pickup. We accept cash or check for payment.
