How long will it take to refinish my piece?

Our turn around time averages 3-6 weeks from the day of drop off. Sometimes sooner, sometimes a little longer. We can work with specific deadlines to make sure your project is back to you by a certain date if needed.

-
Can I drop my piece off this weekend?
-
With our limited space and availability, this often isn't possible but doesn't hurt to check with us.
-
-
Do you upholster furniture?
-
In some cases, we can assist with upholstery. Please reach out and if it isn’t a project that we can assist with, we have a few recommendations!
-
-
Do you strip and restore pieces to their original/new finish?
-
We do! We have some great restorations in our portfolio and are happy to assess your piece via photos to let you know if we can be of service. If not, we have some great recommendations for specific restorations.
-
-
Do you work with high gloss lacquer?
-
I’ve learned that many people have different definitions for the word “lacquer”... so please inquire with us to double check.
-
-
Can you replace glass, both flat or curved?
-
We work with an out of state company for specialty curved glass and a local shop for regular glass replacements. If we have the materials, we are able to salvage antique glass for replacements.
-
-
I already prepped my piece but I can’t finish it, will this reduce the cost to refinish?
-
This has to be assessed case by case. It all depends on what/how you prepped and what the end game is for final finish details. More than happy to chat about it!
-
-
Can you repair my broken furniture?
-
Repairs are assessed case by case so please email us detailed photos of the piece and the damage and we’ll let you know if we can assist!

Can you refinish my furniture at my home?

In most cases, we require the furniture is refinished at our workshop. But we have been known to make a house call so definitely check with us!

Do you refinish kitchen cabinets/bathroom vanities?
-
We love a big cabinet makeover! These types of projects are done partly on site and partly in our workshop. Reach out via email to set up an appointment. And you can browse some past kitchen makeovers here.
