Finishing Traditions Offers our customers only the highest quality furniture Repair and restoration work. We believe in quality, not quantity. Some Furniture Refinishing shops may offer their Services at a lower cost to you – Consumer Beware! Furniture Restoration is 90% labor intensive and the only way to lower the cost, is to lower the quality of your restoration.

Tip:

Go to the Furniture Restoration Shop and look at the Restorations they have completed. Ask to see a piece that will be started in the near future. Ask to see the same piece upon completion. It may mean a bit of running around, but in the end you will see the difference between the different refinishing shops.

Antique Restorations:

Before any work commences we take great care and establish the Finish & Process used originally to finish your antique. We do this so as not to detract from the value of your antique.

Touch-Ups & Repairs:

If your antique has had an accident, we offer you only the highest quality touch-up & repair work.

We use a burn in method which in itself is an art,(NO CRAYONS). We take great care in the painting and matching grain with our artist brushes so your antique appears to never have been damaged.

Reglueing:

If your chairs or any of your furniture has loosened up over the years. We strongly recommend you tend to those problems first. Chairs can become very dangerous and very expensive to repair once they have been broken. We will gently take apart the joints, remove the old glue, reassemble and clamp your antique to last a life time!
