FURNITURE & CABINET RESTORATION

Furniture restoration is the process of repairing and refinishing old or damaged furniture to restore it to its original or desired condition. Here are the steps typically involved in furniture restoration:

Assessment: The first step in furniture restoration is to assess the condition of the furniture to determine what repairs and refinishing may be needed.

Repairs: The next step is to make any necessary repairs, such as replacing broken or missing parts, regluing joints, or patching holes.

Stripping: If the furniture needs to be refinished, the next step is to strip off the old finish using a chemical stripper or sanding.

Sanding: After stripping, the furniture is sanded to smooth out any rough areas and prepare the surface for staining or painting.

Staining or Painting: Once the surface is prepared, the furniture can be stained or painted in the desired color or finish.

Finish: After staining or painting, a protective finish is applied to the furniture to protect the surface and give it a polished look. This can include varnish, shellac, lacquer, or wax.

Assembly: Finally, any disassembled parts are reassembled, and the furniture is inspected for any final touch-ups or repairs.

Furniture restoration can be a complex process that requires a range of skills, including woodworking, painting, and upholstery. Hiring a professional furniture restorer can ensure that the job is done correctly and with high-quality results.
