Services & Process

Furniture refinishing involves stripping old stain or paint, repairing surface damage like scratches and gouges, sanding, and applying a fresh protective finish. This service is common for heirloom pieces, antique tables, or older wood furniture that still has good bones but looks worn. Furniture repair work handles broken joints, cracked veneer, water damage, and structural instability. Together, these services can take a piece that looks ready for the trash and make it genuinely functional and attractive again.

Service Area

Furniture Doctor serves Augusta, GA and the surrounding CSRA area. Customers from neighboring communities like Martinez, Evans, and Hephzibah regularly bring pieces in for refinishing and repair work. The shop's central Augusta location makes it accessible from multiple directions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you match the finish on my existing furniture when refinishing one piece?
Experienced refinishers can get very close to an existing finish by testing stain combinations before applying them to your piece. Bring a sample or a photo of the furniture you're trying to match when you visit for a quote.
How long does furniture refinishing take?
A standard refinishing job typically takes one to two weeks, though complex pieces with heavy damage or multiple coats may take longer. The drying and curing time between coats is often what drives the timeline.
Is it worth refinishing a piece rather than painting it?
For solid wood furniture with good grain, refinishing preserves the natural look and usually holds up better long-term than paint. Paint can be a good option for MDF or lower-quality wood, or when a customer specifically wants a painted look.
Can you repair water damage on a wood table?
Water damage like white rings, warping, or raised grain can often be repaired through sanding and refinishing. Severe warping or structural damage from prolonged water exposure may require more extensive repair work.
Do you work on antique furniture without reducing its value?
A skilled refinisher knows when to restore versus preserve original surfaces, which matters for pieces with collector value. It's worth discussing the history and potential value of an antique before authorizing any stripping or refinishing.
What's your rating based on, and how do I know the work is quality?
Furniture Doctor has a 4.1-star rating from verified customers in Augusta. Asking to see before and after photos of past work is a good way to evaluate quality before committing to a job.
