When beginning your search for a reputable furniture repairing and refinishing service, gather a few different companies and call each to get rates, company background, years in business, location, availability, hours, and service offerings, such as restoration, reupholstering, varnishing, polishing, color, staining, and stripping. Whether you have furniture damage due to pets, kids, or simple overuse and time, furniture repairing and refinishing services can help extend the life of your furniture and upholstery by fixing them. Research the company background thoroughly, to ensure you find a reputable company that offers quality work at a fair price. When speaking with professionals at each furniture repairing and refinishing company, there are a few questions you should ask. Does the company offer antique restoration or reface on kitchen cabinets, chairs, vanity and dressers? What materials does it provide services for, such as leather, pine, or oak wood? What supplies are used in the process, such as glue guns, sanders, oil, and paint? Once you’ve gotten answers to all your questions, probe a little bit more into the company’s background. Find out if the furniture repairing and refinishing is properly licensed, with many years of experience. Inquire if the company can do on-site restorations, or if you must bring your furniture into a shop location for service. Visit the company’s location if possible to get an idea of professionalism, cleanliness, and courteous staff. Ask if the furniture repairing and refinishing service is part of a locally owned company or a national chain, with any affiliations. Many companies regularly offer promotions or discounts, so take advantage of these if you can. Choose a furniture repairing and refinishing company that targets your specific needs, such as upholstery replacement, antique restoration, or refinishing for your gun cabinet, kitchen chairs, leather sofa, or oak end table.
