Comprehensive restoration solutions for wooden furniture of all ages and conditions.
Each restoration project is unique. The services described below represent common categories of work, though most pieces require a combination tailored to their specific needs.
Pricing shown indicates typical starting points for each service category. Final quotes are provided after in-person evaluation and depend on furniture size, condition, and the specific work required. We never begin work until you have approved a detailed scope and cost.
When a piece has suffered significant finish damage — deep scratches, water rings, sun fading, or failing varnish — complete refinishing may be the most practical solution. This process involves carefully removing the existing finish down to bare wood, addressing any underlying issues, and building up a new protective finish layer by layer.
Wobbly chairs, drawers that stick, and tables that rock are symptoms of structural problems that worsen with continued use. Our structural repairs address the root causes: failed glue joints, worn dowels, cracked rails, and broken components. We use traditional joinery techniques proven effective over centuries.
Original hardware contributes significantly to furniture character and value. We clean and restore existing hardware whenever possible, addressing tarnish, corrosion, and mechanical issues. When replacement is necessary, we source period-appropriate alternatives or commission custom reproductions.
Veneer damage — lifting edges, bubbles, chips, and missing sections — is common in older furniture but repairable with patience and proper technique. We reattach loose veneer, patch missing areas with matched material, and restore surfaces to seamless condition.
Not every piece requires complete refinishing. For furniture with isolated damage — scratches, dents, small worn areas — targeted touch-up work may restore appearance at lower cost. We match existing colours precisely, blend repairs invisibly, and protect treated areas.
Not sure what your furniture needs? Our consultation service provides professional assessment of condition, recommendations for restoration approach, and realistic cost estimates. We can work from photographs for distant clients or schedule an in-person evaluation at our workshop.

Furniture restoration pricing depends on many factors: piece size, construction complexity, extent of damage, type of finish required, and hardware needs. The starting prices listed above reflect typical minimums for each service category.
After evaluating your furniture, we provide a fixed-price quote that covers all work discussed. This quote does not change during the project unless you approve additional work. There are no hidden fees, no surprise charges, and no upward revisions after work begins.
Payment is typically divided: a deposit when work begins, with the balance due upon completion. We accept payment by e-transfer, credit card, or cheque.
