Furniture Restoration

Furniture restoration enables antiques to be brought back to life. If you happen to inherit a piece of furniture that has seen better days, or, if you’re in a shop, and you spot a unique piece that’s a little too worn, restoration can restore original beauty. Restoration of once loved pieces assures that they will be loved again and is an eco friendly practice; reclaiming older furniture is akin to recycling. It’s respectful of the environment.

Furniture Refinishing, a critical part of restoration for older furniture, consists of cleaning, making any needed repairs skillfully so that they’re not detectable, touching up, and, finally, applying a finish either similar to the original, or one that will turn the piece into an accent that can serve as a focal point of your decorating scheme.  If maintaining the aged look of a fine antique, or an older piece of furniture, is the goal, it’s all the more important that refinishing and restoration be carried out by highly skilled craftsmen who understand the processes involved and have the experience and expertise required to execute them well. Refinishing furniture can include staining, bleaching, and lacquering, which all require skilled applications if the value of the piece and its beauty are to be restored. If you’d like your older furniture to be returned to new beauty, then give the professionals at Heights Woodworking a call. Ours is one of the very few shops in New York City – perhaps the only one – that still offers old world craftsmanship.
