Services & Process

Furniture refinishing involves stripping old finish, repairing surface damage, and applying a new stain or topcoat that matches your original wood or gives it a fresh look. Reupholstery goes beyond fabric swaps, including replacing worn padding, rebuilding seat springs, and fitting new material tightly so it holds its shape for years. Furniture repair covers structural fixes like loose joints, broken legs, and damaged frames that make pieces unsafe or unusable. Having all three services available means a damaged antique or well-loved sofa can be fully restored in one place.

Accent On Wood serves customers throughout Richmond and the surrounding Central Virginia area. Whether you're coming from the Fan District, Church Hill, or nearby Henrico County, the shop is accessible from most parts of the metro. Call (804) 355-1903 to confirm pickup or drop-off options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you refinish and reupholster a piece at the same time?
Yes, and doing both together is actually more efficient since the woodwork and fabric work can be coordinated without the piece traveling between shops. Accent On Wood handles both in house, which saves you time and reduces the risk of damage during transport.
How do I know if my furniture is worth restoring versus replacing?
A good rule of thumb is that solid wood furniture with quality joinery is almost always worth restoring, especially if it has sentimental value or is made from wood species that are expensive today. A shop assessment can help you understand what restoration would cost compared to buying something comparable new.
What types of wood finishes do you work with?
Most furniture restoration shops work with oil-based and water-based stains, lacquers, varnishes, and wax finishes depending on the piece and your preference. They can often match an existing finish or help you choose something that updates the look while staying appropriate for the wood type.
Do I need to bring my furniture in, or do you offer pickup?
Many shops offer both options, though large or fragile pieces are sometimes better handled with professional pickup to avoid damage. Call (804) 355-1903 to ask about their specific pickup and delivery policy for your area.
How long does a full furniture restoration take?
A piece that needs both refinishing and reupholstery can take anywhere from two to six weeks depending on the shop's current workload and the complexity of the job. Getting a timeline estimate at the start of the process helps you plan, especially if you need the piece for a specific occasion.
Can you match the original fabric or finish on an antique piece?
Skilled restoration shops can often get very close to an original finish using period-appropriate staining and finishing techniques. Fabric matching depends on whether the original material is still in production, but a good upholsterer can usually find something historically consistent or work with fabric you source yourself.
