About Past To Present Restoration

Past To Present Restoration is based in Chehalis, Washington, a small city along I-5 in Lewis County that serves as a regional hub for the communities between Olympia and Kelso. The shop focuses on furniture repair, cabinetry work, and reupholstery, with a restoration-oriented approach that appeals to customers who want to save and preserve pieces rather than replace them. Lewis County has a strong tradition of craftsmanship and rural self-sufficiency, and a shop like this fits naturally into that culture. Whether you have a family heirloom or a solid secondhand find, the goal here is bringing it back to usable condition.

Services & Process

Past To Present Restoration handles furniture repair, which covers structural fixes like regluing joints, replacing broken legs, and reinforcing frames that have weakened over time. Their cabinetry work includes repairs and refinishing for kitchen cabinets, built-ins, and standalone furniture pieces with wood components. Reupholstery rounds out the service list, covering sofas, chairs, dining bench seats, and other fabric-covered pieces with material replacement from frame up. The combination of woodworking and upholstery skills means they can restore a piece completely, rather than sending you to a second shop for the parts they don't cover.

Service Area

Past To Present Restoration serves Chehalis and the surrounding Lewis County communities, including Centralia, Napavine, and Winlock. Customers from as far as Longview to the south and Tumwater to the north make the trip for their restoration work. The shop's location just off I-5 makes it easy to reach from most towns along the Interstate 5 corridor in southwest Washington.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you fix a sofa with broken springs before reupholstering it?
Yes, and they strongly recommend it. Putting new fabric on a piece with damaged springs means you'll have the same comfort problems even after spending money on reupholstery. Addressing the structure first protects your investment.
Do you restore antique furniture, or only modern pieces?
Antique restoration is a core part of what they do. Older pieces often have better bones than modern furniture, and with the right repair and reupholstery work, they can last another generation or more.
What kind of cabinetry work do you handle?
They work on repairs and refinishing for kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, and freestanding furniture with cabinet components. This includes fixing damaged doors, replacing hardware, and refreshing finishes that have yellowed or chipped.
How do I know if a piece is worth restoring versus buying new?
Bring it in or send photos and the team can give you an honest assessment. If the frame is solid and the piece has sentimental or quality value, restoration usually makes financial and practical sense.
Can you match the original fabric or stain color on a vintage piece?
Exact matching isn't always possible depending on how old the original material is, but they can get very close with the right sourcing. For stains and finishes, they test samples on an inconspicuous area before committing to the full piece.
How long do furniture repairs and reupholstery take when done together?
A combined project generally takes two to four weeks, since the structural work needs to cure and settle before upholstery begins. They'll give you a realistic timeline at the start so you know what to expect.
