Furniture Repair & Restoration
Repairs to shelves, tables, and heirloom pieces; refits and strengthening as needed.
Pricing & What Affects the Cost
Small trim fixes are most affordable; costs rise with custom millwork, complex detailing, premium materials, and paint-grade finishing.
Typical price drivers:
- Scope & complexity: Straight runs vs. multiple returns, miters, and built-in scribing.
- Materials: MDF vs. paint-grade hardwood vs. stain-grade species.
- Finish level: Paint/stain quality, filled nail holes, caulked joints, factory vs. site finishing.
- Access & prep: Level/plumb corrections, wall repairs, moving utilities.
- Hardware & features: Soft-close slides, inset doors, lighting, hidden wire chases.
You’ll get a written, line-item estimate with options (good/better/best) so you can match budget and look.
Materials & Joinery Quality and Why Details Matter
- Paint-grade: MDF and poplar for smooth painted profiles.
- Stain-grade: Oak, maple, walnut for durable, natural finishes.
- Plywood over particleboard: Stronger boxes and better fastener hold.
- Joinery: Pocket screws/biscuits/dados where appropriate; square, shimmed installs; scribed fits to uneven walls/floors.
- Movement & gaps: Allowances for seasonal wood movement; tight reveals and consistent shadow lines.
Our Process
Step 1 – Consultation & Measure:
Goals, style references, site conditions.
Step 2 – Design & Estimate:
Sketches or specs, materials, hardware, and an itemized quote.
Step 3 – Build & Install:
Cut lists, shop or site fabrication, precise fits, and safe anchoring.
Step 4 – Finish & Review:
Paint/stain (as quoted), caulk/fill, hardware tuning, and a walk-through.
Pricing & What Affects the Cost
A Whitby living room needed a built-in media wall with hidden cable runs and adjustable shelves. We framed a shallow chase, built paint-grade cabinets with plywood boxes and soft-close doors, scribed to the plaster, and installed crown/base returns. After spray finishing, the unit looks original to the home—and everything sits level and tight.
Benefits
- Durable craftsmanship that outlasts quick DIY fixes
- Custom solutions that maximize space and function
- Cleaner lines and better resale value with pro finishes
- One crew to coordinate carpentry, painting, and small electrical where needed
