Services

Furniture Repair
Refinishing Services

Services & Process

Furniture repair at this level goes beyond surface fixes. It includes structural work like regluing joints, replacing broken legs or arms, repairing drawer mechanisms, and fixing frames that have shifted or cracked over time. Refinishing services involve stripping old finishes, sanding the wood down, and applying stain or paint to restore the original look or give the piece a completely new one. Together, these services can bring a beloved dining table, antique dresser, or heirloom chair back to fully functional condition without losing what makes the original piece valuable.

Service Area

Hendey's Furniture Restoration serves Plainfield and the surrounding Hendricks County communities, including Avon, Danville, and Brownsburg. Their location just off the I-70 corridor also makes them accessible to customers coming from the west side of Indianapolis. It's worth calling ahead to ask about their current schedule and whether they offer any pickup options for larger pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between furniture repair and furniture refinishing?
Repair focuses on structural and functional issues, like fixing broken joints, replacing hardware, or stabilizing a wobbly frame. Refinishing is cosmetic work that restores or changes the surface appearance of the wood by stripping old finish and applying a new stain, paint, or topcoat.
Can you match the original stain color on an antique piece?
Experienced refinishers can usually get very close to an original stain color by testing different mixes on a small hidden area first. An exact match isn't always possible if the original finish has aged significantly, but a skilled shop will get you as close as the wood grain allows.
Is it possible to repair a chair or table with a broken leg?
Yes, broken legs are one of the most common furniture repairs and are usually fixable unless the break is at a very thin or complex joint. The repair might involve regluing, doweling, or in some cases replacing the leg entirely with a matching piece.
How do I know if a piece is worth repairing versus replacing?
If the piece is solid wood, has sentimental value, or was made before the era of mass production, it's almost always worth repairing. A quick consultation with a shop like Hendey's can give you a realistic cost estimate so you can make an informed decision.
Do you work on antique furniture that might be valuable?
Yes, furniture repair and refinishing shops regularly work on antiques, though it's worth mentioning any known history or value upfront. A good shop will advise you on approaches that preserve the piece's integrity rather than over-restoring it in ways that could reduce its collector value.
How long does furniture refinishing typically take in the Plainfield area?
A single piece like a dresser or dining table usually takes one to two weeks, depending on the complexity of the finish and the shop's current schedule. Larger projects or pieces that need significant structural repair before refinishing will take longer.
