Services & Process

The shop covers furniture repair at a structural level, fixing broken frames, loose joints, and damaged legs before any surface work begins. Refinishing services involve stripping old finishes, sanding, staining, and applying new protective coatings to restore wood surfaces to their original condition or a completely new look. Their carpentry background allows them to rebuild missing components, replace damaged panels, and fabricate custom parts that can't be sourced elsewhere. This combination of trades makes them especially useful for antique pieces or family heirlooms that need more than just cosmetic attention.

Service Area

The shop is based in Chicago and serves customers throughout the city's neighborhoods, from Lincoln Park to Pilsen. They also work with clients from nearby suburbs who bring pieces in for the combination of carpentry and refinishing services that's harder to find closer to home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you repair antique furniture without losing its original character?
Yes, the goal with antique pieces is always to preserve as much of the original material and finish as possible. Repairs are done to match existing joinery and finish techniques so the work blends in rather than stands out.
Do you handle furniture that has both structural damage and a worn finish?
That's actually where this shop's combination of skills is most useful. They'll address the frame and joint issues first, then move on to the refinishing work so everything is done in the right order.
How long does a typical furniture refinishing job take in Chicago?
It depends on the piece and the condition it's in, but most refinishing projects take one to two weeks. Pieces needing significant structural repair before finishing can take longer.
Can a carpenter rebuild parts of my furniture that are missing or too damaged to repair?
Yes, custom fabrication of replacement parts is something their carpentry background makes possible. They can match wood species, profile shapes, and joinery styles to keep the piece looking consistent.
Is it worth repairing an older piece of furniture versus buying new?
Older furniture was often built with better materials and joinery than what you'll find at mass-market retailers today. If the piece has sentimental value or was originally well made, repair and restoration is almost always worth the investment.
Do you offer pickup and delivery for large furniture pieces in Chicago?
It's worth calling ahead to ask, as availability can vary. Many Chicago-area furniture repair shops offer local pickup and delivery for an added fee, especially for large or heavy items that are difficult to transport.
