Services & Process

Furniture repair here means fixing broken joints, cracked frames, loose legs, and structural issues that make pieces unstable or unusable. Refinishing involves stripping old finishes, sanding down the wood, and applying fresh stain, paint, or protective topcoat to bring surfaces back to life. Furniture assembly is also offered, useful for customers who've purchased flat-pack pieces or received heirloom furniture that was disassembled for a move. Together these services cover nearly everything a well-loved piece of furniture might need short of full fabric replacement.

Service Area

Mullaly serves Mequon and the surrounding Ozaukee County area, with easy access from the North Shore communities of Milwaukee County including Bayside, Fox Point, and Whitefish Bay. The location makes it convenient for customers from both the northern Milwaukee suburbs and communities further up along Lake Michigan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you repair a wobbly chair or table without refinishing the whole piece?
Yes, structural repairs like re-gluing joints or tightening hardware can be done independently of any surface work. If the finish is still in good shape, there's no reason to strip it. The shop will only recommend additional work if the piece actually needs it.
How does furniture refinishing actually work?
The process starts by removing the old finish through stripping, sanding, or a combination of both, depending on the piece and its condition. Once the bare wood is smooth and clean, stain is applied if needed, followed by a protective topcoat like lacquer, polyurethane, or oil. The result is a fresh surface that protects the wood and brings out its natural grain.
Can you match a stain color to other furniture I already have?
Experienced finishers can often get very close to an existing stain color by mixing stains and testing on scrap wood or an inconspicuous area. Bring in a sample piece or a clear photo and they'll assess what's possible. A perfect match isn't always guaranteed because wood grain varies, but a close match is usually achievable.
Do you assemble furniture bought from stores like IKEA or Wayfair?
Many furniture repair shops do take on flat-pack assembly, and it's worth calling Mullaly to ask since assembly is listed among their services. Having a professional handle it means the piece goes together correctly the first time with no stripped screws or misaligned parts. It also saves a lot of frustration on complicated builds.
Is it worth refinishing an antique versus selling it as-is?
That depends on the piece and the market. True antiques with original patina can actually lose collector value if refinished, so it's worth knowing what you have before committing. For pieces with sentimental value or furniture you intend to use daily, refinishing usually makes good sense and extends the life of the piece significantly.
Can you repair water rings and surface damage on a wood tabletop?
Minor water rings and surface scratches can sometimes be addressed without a full refinish using targeted treatments. Deeper stains or damage that has penetrated the finish may require sanding and recoating the affected area or the entire surface. The shop can evaluate the damage and recommend the least invasive option that still gets good results.
