ANTIQUE WOOD—REFINISH IT or REPLACE IT?

In my twenty years serving Port Hope, Cobourg and Northumberland in the furniture refinishing and wood refinishing business, this is the one question I have been asked most often—especially by new clients! When looking at a vintage piece of furniture, a mantelpiece or stairway, people often see only the wear and tear accumulated over time and hard use. My solution is always wood refinishing!

Most vintage or antique furniture, as well as architectural items including kitchen cupboards and crown moldings are well constructed, having been built by skilled cabinetmakers using solid, early growth woods. A piece may look dirty, dingy and in need of repair, stripping and refinishing, but with a little care and attention (that I'm most willing to provide), the piece will take on a renewed beauty and proudly serve for  many more years. If you own a piano or wooden boat, I can help, with a variety of fine lacquer or varnish finishes.

Our clients are often amazed at the results and are thrilled that, after refinishing, all of their wooden items can once again take a place of prominence in their home   Here's what we do >>
