Services & Process

Furniture refinishing involves stripping, sanding, staining, and resealing wood surfaces to restore their appearance or give them a new look entirely. Reupholstery services cover fabric and padding replacement on sofas, chairs, and other upholstered pieces. As a furniture store as well, Plymouth Furniture Refinishing may carry ready-to-sell pieces alongside their restoration work, which can be useful if you're comparing the cost of restoring a piece to buying a replacement. That combination of retail and restoration is worth discussing directly with the shop when you call.

Service Area

Plymouth Furniture Refinishing serves Plymouth and the surrounding western suburbs of Detroit, including Northville, Canton, Livonia, and the Ann Arbor corridor along M-14. The shop's location off the main Plymouth downtown strip makes it accessible for clients across Wayne and Washtenaw counties.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between furniture refinishing and furniture repair?
Refinishing focuses on restoring or changing the surface appearance of wood, including stripping old finish, sanding, staining, and applying a new topcoat. Repair addresses structural problems like broken joints, cracked panels, or missing hardware that affect how the piece functions.
Can you refinish a piece and reupholster it at the same time?
Yes, and doing both together is actually the most efficient approach since the shop handles the wood work before the new fabric goes on. You'll also end up with a more cohesive result when the finish and fabric are chosen to work together.
How do I know if a piece is worth refinishing versus just replacing it?
Older solid wood furniture is almost always worth refinishing if the structure is sound, because the quality of older hardwoods typically exceeds what you'd find in new furniture at the same price point. A shop can give you a realistic cost comparison once they've seen the piece.
What wood finishes are available, and can I change the color of my furniture?
Refinishing gives you a lot of flexibility. You can change the stain color, go from a glossy finish to a matte one, or strip the piece down to bare wood for a natural look. A good refinisher will show you samples before committing to a direction.
Do you sell furniture in addition to restoration services?
Plymouth Furniture Refinishing operates as a furniture store alongside their restoration work, so it's worth asking what's currently in stock if you're open to buying rather than restoring. Sometimes a shop-restored piece is a better value than a new one.
How long does furniture refinishing typically take for a dining table?
A dining table refinish usually takes one to two weeks depending on how many coats are needed and the shop's current workload. Tables with deep scratches or old paint can take longer if significant prep work is required before the new finish goes on.
