Services & Process

Furniture refinishing involves stripping old stain, paint, or varnish from wood surfaces and applying fresh finishes to restore their appearance. This can include color matching to blend with existing pieces or completely changing the tone of a piece to fit a new decor scheme. Furniture repair covers structural fixes like re-gluing joints, replacing broken hardware, fixing veneer lifting, and stabilizing wobbly frames. Together, these services can take a piece that looks worn out and bring it back to functional, attractive condition without starting from scratch.

Service Area

Smith's Repair & Refinishing serves Myerstown and the broader Lebanon County area, including towns like Lebanon, Annville, and Palmyra. Customers from the edges of Lancaster and Dauphin counties also bring pieces to shops in this part of Pennsylvania. The shop is accessible to anyone in the Lebanon Valley looking for quality wood furniture restoration.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between furniture repair and refinishing?
Repair addresses structural or physical damage, like broken joints, loose legs, or cracked wood. Refinishing is about the surface, stripping old finishes and applying new stain or lacquer to refresh the appearance.
Can you match the stain color on a piece I'm trying to blend with existing furniture?
Experienced refinishers can often get very close to an existing stain color by mixing and testing samples. Bring in a photo or a small piece of the existing furniture for the best results.
How long does furniture refinishing take?
A single small piece like a side table might take a few days, while a large dresser or dining table can take one to two weeks. Drying and curing time between coats adds to the timeline.
Is antique furniture worth repairing or should I just sell it as-is?
That depends on the piece's sentimental or monetary value and the extent of the damage. A professional can give you an honest assessment of whether repair costs make sense relative to the item's value.
Can loose chair joints be fixed without refinishing the whole piece?
Yes. Re-gluing or reinforcing joints is a standalone repair that doesn't require refinishing the entire piece. If the finish around the repair area is damaged, the shop can touch up just that section.
Do you work on painted furniture as well as stained wood?
Most refinishing shops handle both painted and stained finishes. If you want to switch from paint to stain or vice versa, the shop can strip the existing finish and apply the new one.
