Refinish Antique Furniture

Tips and Techniques From 33 Years of Experience!

I've been refinishing furniture for over 33 years.  My goal is to expand this website to become a total knowledge base on refinishing antique furniture. I want to help you learn how to refinish your valuable antiques and save you money at the same time.

 "Does it hurt the value to refinish an antique?" 

 The answer is...... IT DEPENDS !

If you have an old piece that is slightly damaged in a few areas and color could be added back to those areas then its possible to do what I call "refurbishing." Basically is working with the finish you have and keeping the same color and patina.  However if you get a piece that is painted then unless you like the paint you should absolutely strip it using my gental flow over-process and start from scratch with new stain and finish. The piece will be much more valuable when you go to sell it. 

You can restore your older pieces of furniture much less than buying equally made new furniture in most cases, plus it will retain its value as opposed to many modern furniture pieces that are nothing more than sawdust, glue and veneer.

Many time people have had things restored by me that belong to a beloved family member.  I take great pride in working on these pieces because I know that I'm restoring the good memories of that special loved one for that customer. 

Restoring your antique furniture will assure that your investment will continue to grow!
