Reconditioning Existing Finishes Service

Scott Doyle
Millerton NY

Restored desk with lid open

Existing finishes reconditioned for new, vintage, and antique furniture

Reconditioning a finish is performed when standard polishing won't be enough to achieve desired results. This method entails preparatory work, followed by the application of a new coating over the existing finish. Its primary purpose is to avoid the complete stripping and refinishing process which can remove original patinas.
