Furniture Refinishing Service

Scott Doyle
Millerton NY

Ladies desk before and after refinishing

Refinishing service provided for new, vintage, and antique furniture.

Refinishing furniture is a last resort when other methods, such as polishing and reconditioning will not achieve desired results. The process begins after all repairs have been completed, and involves stripping off the old finish down to the bare wood, sanding, applying a stain and coats of new finish. Once dry, the finish can be rubbed and waxed to further enhance its luster and appeal.
