Services & Process

Furniture repair at Flintwood covers structural fixes like broken legs, loose joints, damaged drawer slides, and split frames that make a piece unsafe or non-functional. Refinishing services go deeper, addressing scratched, faded, or peeling wood surfaces through stripping, sanding, staining, and sealing. These two services often go hand in hand on older pieces, where years of use have left both the structure and the surface in need of attention. Customers typically bring in dining tables, bedroom sets, heirloom cabinets, and chairs that are worth saving but need professional attention to get there.

Service Area

Flintwood Furniture serves Lockport and the surrounding Niagara County communities, including Pendleton, Gasport, and Middleport. Customers from Batavia and Medina in Genesee and Orleans counties also find it a convenient option for quality repair work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between furniture repair and refinishing?
Furniture repair addresses structural or mechanical problems like broken joints, cracked frames, or damaged hardware. Refinishing focuses on the surface, stripping and reapplying stain, paint, or lacquer to restore a worn or damaged appearance.
Can Flintwood Furniture fix a wobbly dining table?
Wobbly tables are usually a matter of loose joints, uneven legs, or worn hardware, all of which fall squarely within furniture repair. A skilled craftsman can often fix the issue in a single visit or short turnaround, depending on the cause.
How do I know if my furniture is worth repairing or refinishing?
Solid wood furniture, especially pieces made from oak, maple, cherry, or walnut, is almost always worth repairing if the frame is structurally sound. Particleboard or MDF furniture is harder to repair well and may not justify the cost.
Can scratched hardwood furniture be made to look new again?
Yes, surface scratches can often be buffed out or touched up, while deeper damage may require spot refinishing or a full strip and refinish. A shop like Flintwood can assess which approach makes sense based on the severity and the wood type.
How long does furniture refinishing take in Lockport?
A standard refinishing job, like a dining table or dresser, typically takes one to two weeks once the shop has the piece in hand. More complex projects with intricate details or multiple components can take longer.
Does Flintwood Furniture work on antique pieces?
Shops offering refinishing services in the Lockport area regularly handle antiques, though it's worth discussing whether you want a full refinish or a more conservative restoration that preserves the piece's character. Some collectors prefer to retain original patina rather than applying a fresh finish.
