Services & Process

Furniture repair at Phenicie covers structural fixes like regluing joints, replacing broken legs, and rebuilding damaged frames before any cosmetic work begins. Refinishing services address the wood surfaces of tables, chairs, dressers, and cabinets, involving sanding, staining, and applying protective topcoats to restore the original finish or update it to something new. Reupholstery rounds out the offering, handling fabric or leather replacement on seating and cushioned pieces. Having all three services available means a worn antique or damaged family heirloom can be returned to full condition in one visit to one shop.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between furniture repair and furniture refinishing?
Repair addresses structural or functional problems, like fixing a broken joint, replacing a drawer runner, or stabilizing a wobbly frame. Refinishing focuses on the surface appearance of the wood, removing the old finish through sanding or stripping and applying a new stain, paint, or clear coat. Many pieces need both before they're truly restored.
Can you restore antique furniture without losing its original character?
Yes, and most skilled restorers take great care to preserve the patina and original detailing that gives antiques their value and appeal. The goal is usually to stabilize and clean up the piece rather than make it look brand new. Be clear about your expectations when you bring the piece in so the shop matches their approach to your goals.
How do I know if a piece is worth restoring versus replacing?
Solid wood furniture with good bones is almost always worth restoring, especially if it has sentimental value or represents a style that's hard to find new. Particle board or low-quality construction often isn't worth the investment since the repairs may not hold long-term. A furniture restoration specialist can give you an honest assessment after seeing the piece.
Can you match the existing stain or finish on my furniture?
Experienced refinishers can get very close to an existing finish, which matters when you're restoring one piece from a matched set. It's easier on older furniture where the finish has mellowed and evened out over time. Bringing in a photo or a small sample from the original finish helps the shop dial in the right color.
How long does a full furniture restoration take from start to finish?
A project that combines repair, refinishing, and reupholstery can take two to four weeks depending on the complexity of the work and the shop's current schedule. Simple single-service jobs move faster. It's always worth asking for a timeline estimate when you drop the piece off so you can plan accordingly.
Do you work on commercial furniture as well as residential pieces?
Many furniture restoration shops take commercial work including restaurant chairs, hotel room pieces, and office furniture. If you manage a property with multiple pieces needing attention, it's worth asking about volume pricing or scheduling multiple items at once. Call ahead to discuss the scope before bringing in a large batch.
