Many times, refinishing is all that is needed to add a truly "new" look to your furniture. Even damaged or missing parts can be recreated or repaired to restore your furniture to it's original state. It is amazing taking something that was about to fall apart and making it beautiful again. We take pride in doing this, and it is not something we rush through. We make sure to meet all of our customers expectations. This is our promise!
Carl's Refinishing specializes in the refinishing and/or restoration of many styles of furniture - contemporary, traditional, art deco, modern, Asian – just to name a few.
Refinishing your furniture can repair the following problems:
Uneven or weathered finish
Blemishes such as scratches and dents
Recreation or repairing of parts
Original color matching or color changes
Tightening and regluing
To ensure a quality refinishing and restoration service, only quality products are used. This provides a flawless, more durable finish that will last for many years.
Our furniture refinishing process involves removing the old finish, repairing the condition of the wood by sanding out imperfections, filling in dents, gouges, etc, staining the wood if needed with dye or oil stains, and then adding sealant and lacquer to complete the process.
We use 2-6 coats of lacquer, giving our customers the options from flat to high gloss finishes on the wood. The purpose of the finish is to protect the wood. We prefer lacquer finishes because they are so versatile - a modern-day varnish that allows for a good strong finish that lasts for years and protects the piece.Here are some before and after pictures of our work:
