What we do

Full-service furniture restoration

From stripping tanks to the final coat of finish, every piece gets the same careful, hands-on treatment.

Paint & Finish Stripping

Old paint, varnish, and lacquer removed cleanly in our dedicated stripping tanks — no gouges, no shortcuts.

Wood & Structural Repair

Loose joints, cracks, chips, and broken parts repaired so the piece is solid and sound again, not just pretty.

Sanding & Surface Prep

Surfaces sanded smooth and even, removing old damage and building a clean base for stain or paint.

Staining & Sealing

Fresh stains and sealants applied to bring out the grain and protect the wood for years of everyday use.

Custom Painting

New paint finishes in the color and sheen you want — from classic solids to distressed, antique looks.

Antiques & Heirlooms

Damaged antiques and worn household pieces carefully restored with respect for their original character.

How it works

From worn-out to worth keeping

A straightforward, four-step process that gets your furniture done right.

01

Strip

Old paint, varnish, or lacquer is removed in our stripping tanks down to bare wood or metal.

02

Repair

Wood damage, loose joints, and structural issues are fixed so the piece is solid again.

03

Sand

Surfaces are sanded smooth and even, ready to take a new finish evenly.

04

Finish

A fresh coat of stain, sealant, or paint brings the piece back to life.
