Services

Furniture Repair
Carpeting
Refinishing Services

Services & Process

Furniture repair covers structural fixes like regluing loose joints, replacing broken legs, and rebuilding damaged frames before any cosmetic work begins. Refinishing services restore wood surfaces on tables, chairs, cabinets, and case goods through stripping, sanding, staining, and finishing. Carpeting services likely include measuring, material selection, and installation for both residential and commercial spaces. Having all three services available from one provider saves customers the hassle of coordinating multiple contractors for a single renovation or room refresh.

Service Area

Decorating South serves Canonsburg and the broader Washington County area in southwestern Pennsylvania. The shop is well-positioned for customers in the South Hills suburbs of Pittsburgh, including communities like Peters Township, McMurray, and Cecil Township. Clients from across Washington and Allegheny counties use the shop for its range of interior services.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of furniture damage can actually be repaired rather than replaced?
Loose or broken joints, cracked frames, wobbly legs, and damaged veneer are all repairable in most cases. Structural repairs are often invisible once done properly and can extend a piece's life by decades. The main exception is severe water damage or rot, which can compromise wood integrity beyond practical repair.
How does wood refinishing work and how long does it take?
Refinishing typically involves stripping the old finish, sanding to bare wood, applying stain if desired, and then sealing with a topcoat varnish or lacquer. The process takes several days when you account for drying time between coats. A properly refinished piece will look dramatically better and be more durable against everyday wear.
Can carpet installation be done in a commercial space with minimal disruption?
Yes, many shops can schedule installation during off-hours or over a weekend to avoid disrupting business operations. Proper planning around furniture moving and room-by-room sequencing helps keep disruption to a minimum. It's worth discussing scheduling logistics with the shop when you book the project.
Is it better to repair a piece of furniture before or after refinishing it?
Structural repairs should always come first. There's no point in applying a beautiful finish to a piece that's still wobbly or has a cracked joint, since you'd likely have to redo the finish if the repair work is done later. Addressing structure first ensures the finish work isn't wasted.
What's the best carpet material for a high-traffic area in the Canonsburg area?
Nylon and polyester blends are generally the most durable choices for high-traffic residential and commercial spaces. Solution-dyed fibers resist staining better than others, which matters a lot in busy areas. A flooring professional can recommend specific products based on your traffic levels, budget, and whether pets or kids are factors.
Can a shop handle both carpet and furniture work as part of a single room renovation?
Yes, and coordinating both through one provider makes the scheduling and sequencing much simpler. Typically, furniture repair and refinishing is done first so that the pieces are ready to move back in after carpet installation. A single point of contact means less back-and-forth and a smoother overall timeline.
