Services & Process

Furniture repair at Coup Restoration covers structural issues like broken legs, loose joints, cracked frames, and damaged hardware that make pieces unsafe or unusable. Refinishing services address the surface, stripping old stain or paint and applying a fresh finish that can match the original look or give the piece an entirely new character. Together, these services make it possible to restore antiques, heirloom pieces, and quality vintage finds to functional, attractive condition. Wood tightening, veneer repair, and touch-up finishing for minor scratches are also common requests.

Service Area

Coup Restoration serves Columbus and the broader Franklin County region. The shop is accessible from neighborhoods like German Village, Olde Towne East, and the Short North, where older housing stock means plenty of antique furniture in need of care. Customers from surrounding suburbs also make the trip for quality restoration work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you repair a chair leg that broke completely off?
Yes, a fully detached leg is a common repair for furniture restoration shops. Depending on the break, the repair might involve re-doweling, gluing, and clamping, or fabricating a replacement component if the original is too damaged. A good structural repair, done correctly, can be as strong as the original joint.
What's the difference between furniture repair and refinishing?
Furniture repair addresses structural or functional problems, like broken joints, cracked wood, or damaged hardware, that affect how a piece holds together or works. Refinishing is about the surface appearance, stripping and reapplying stain, paint, or protective coatings. Many restoration projects involve both, especially on older or heavily used pieces.
Can refinishing remove deep scratches and water rings from wood?
In most cases, yes. A full refinish involves sanding the surface down past the damage before applying a new stain and finish coat, which removes most scratches and stains. Very deep gouges may need filling before sanding, but even significant surface damage is usually addressable through refinishing.
How much does furniture restoration typically cost in Columbus?
Costs vary widely based on the piece's size, the extent of damage, and the complexity of the finish work. Minor repairs might run $50 to $150, while a full restoration of a large antique piece could be several hundred dollars. Getting an in-person or photo-based estimate is the best way to know what you're looking at before committing.
Do you work on antique furniture that has sentimental value?
Restoration shops that specialize in this type of work understand how to handle heirloom pieces with care. It's worth communicating upfront that the piece has sentimental significance so the shop can discuss options that preserve original character rather than over-restoring it. Some customers prefer a careful touch-up over a full refinish to retain the piece's history.
How long does a furniture refinishing job usually take?
A standard refinishing project typically takes one to two weeks, factoring in stripping, sanding, staining, and drying time between coats. More complex pieces with intricate carving or multi-step finishes can take longer. Scheduling during busy seasons like spring estate sale time may also affect how quickly the shop can start your project.
