Refinishing
We offer the highest quality coatings in the industry today with ML Campbell and Mohawk products.
The first step is the picking a color/stain from our sample blocks and charts.
Once we have a match we proceed to hand stripping all the existing finish off of the piece exposing the bare wood.
Next we perform all repairs like gluing of joints, filling/ raising of dents, and other necessary repairs.
Next the wood is prepped with multiple grades of sanding ending with 220-400 grit fine sand.
Now the color process begins with the staining or base coat of the wood.
Next we begin to seal the wood with multiple coats with sanding in between to seal and protect the wood grain.
After some feather/ wet sanding we begin to apply topcoats. Sometime we use tonners to achieve deep tones like cordovan, walnut, mahogany, and ebony.
Finally we apply the last topcoat and let it cure in shop for a few days.
Once the piece has passed our quality control we schedule the delivery.
The refinishing process on average takes 2-4 weeks depending on the difficulty of the piece and our work schedule.
Repairs
Chair regluing, broken side rails, and joint separation are just a few of our most popular calls on a daily basis. Most of the time these clients bring the piece to us to save on pick-up and delivery costs. If you have a loose chair do not wait until it breaks, save on costly repairs and bring it in to our shop.
When a chair is loose we will completely disassemble the chair, dry fit and clean out the joints before applying glues or epoxy. Then it is clamped and left for 2 days until the glue has fully cured. Once it is released from clamps all excess glue and touch ups are performed and the owner is contacted for the pick-up/delivery.
Broken legs, broken J-hook side rails, and split seats or joints are more labor intensive therefore more costly. In these cases light woodwork or dowels are installed to reinforce the break to insure stability of the piece. Usually with some light finishing to damaged area will disappear and look original and new.
We Warranty all repairs for one year of the invoice date. We have never had a wood repair come back to us.
Upholstery
From seat cushions to sofas we have you covered. We can bring all upholstered items back to life with beautiful new fabric and foam. Curious about the cost to recover your favorite comfy chair? Send us a pic or have a professional come out to your home for a free estimate.
First step is measuring the piece for fabric yardage to be purchased. You can pick from our fabric books or bring us your own and we will just charge you for labor.
Next we strip the piece down to the frame and make all necessary repairs. We check and retie springs, re-web, and recover in foam and dacron to form the shape.
Finally the piece is recovered with the new upholstery and all final details like cording and seam work completed.
Upholstery is paid for up front and labor costs are due on delivery. The upholstery process takes 2-3 weeks .
