Reconditioning Existing Finishes

Scott Doyle

Millerton NY

Existing finishes reconditioned for vintage and antique furniture.

Restored desk with lid open

Reconditioning an existing finish is a technique that is done when polishing will not be enough to give desired results. It involves cleaning and lightly scuffing the finish, touch up and color work, and applying fresh coats of finish. It is usually done to avoid refinishing, and works well on antique furniture.
