Inside the workshop

Keep what you
like about it.

A repaired chair should still feel like your chair. We start by asking what bothers you, and what you want left alone.

Useful furniture earns its marks.

Not every scratch needs to go. We talk through the loose joint, lifting edge or worn surface that brought you here, then choose the smallest useful repair.

Some pieces need a new finish. Some need one joint taken apart and put back together. If the material or construction makes the requested result unlikely, we say so before accepting the work.

Our work is everyday furniture repair and refinishing. Upholstery, appraisal and specialized antique conservation are outside the shop’s work.

Three conversations, no guessing.

  1. Show us the problem.

    Start with photos and dimensions for a free estimate. Tell us about stairs if pickup would help.

  2. Agree on the work.

    We inspect the piece, explain the finish or repair and confirm the price and timeline.

  3. Bring it back into the room.

    We agree on pickup or delivery and go over the cure dates together.

Keep a place for the old favorite.

A whole-piece photo and a close-up are a good beginning. The photo estimate is free.
