"Craig came to my house and we discussed the possibilities. He gave me a quote and took with him a cabinet door (I had some extras) to stain so we could look at it and get the color right. That one was too dark, so he took another door and stained each side of the door with a different, lighter shade. I chose a shade.  <br> <br>We arranged for Craig to take the doors and drawer faces. He did so and stained them at his facility. On a separate date he came into my home and stained the cabinet boxes themselves. (Note that the boxes remained attached to the wall/floor. This process is done with a spray, not a brush, and any adjacent surfaces were well masked for protection from the sprayed stain.) <br> <br>The results are fantastic. The wood grain still shows through the stain, which is what I wanted. Craig also managed to erase the flaws on the cabinets that my installer had created by poor installation (e.g., wrongly drilled holes filled with wood filler).  <br> <br>Throughout, Craig was flexible with my schedule and kept all of his promises. <br> <br>I would heartily recommend Unhinged, Inc., and its owner, Craig, for any cabinet staining. <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br>"

"Alan and his crew did a beautiful job. I was expecting two panels with a seam in the middle of the headboard and footboard. Instead, they made three panels, and used trim from left-over pieces to cover the seams. The queen size headboard and footboard look like they were originally made for the bedroom set. The bed matches the rest of the bedroom furniture, perfectly. I also want to emphasize that they refinished the wood to a beautiful shade of red/brown mahogany that also matches the rest of the furniture. (I've seen refinished red/brown mahogany end up more like dark brown.) The stain and finish were done to perfection. I couldn't be happier with our "new" headboard and footboard."

"We used Camacho in the summer of 2013 to repair and refinish two antique dressers that had been in the family for a long time.  The legs were cracked on both dressers and one or two of the legs were missing.  I stopped by his shop and brought pictures to get a rough estimate of price before having him pick them up.  Camacho repaired the legs that he could and replaced the ones that he could not, and they looked exactly like the original legs.  The refinishing was beautiful.  My mother wanted them to be refinished a little bit lighter than the original color, and they were able to do that.  They looked brand new when they were finished with them.  He had me stop by and check them before delivering to my parents, and delivery went great.  The price was very close if not exactly what he had quoted me from the pictures.  <br /> It was hard to get a hold of Alex originally.  He did not return my first call that I made, but I am glad that I called again because I am so happy with the work that they did.  I did not have a hard time getting a hold of him after he started the job.  <br />"

"I bring my furniture in and they give it back to me looking brand new! The staff is friendly all the way down to the delivery guy. They are simply fantastic! They know exactly what they are doing and are masters of their craft. I am a perfectionist and they never let me down with their service. I would highly recommend!"

"Excellent work! The table has a parquet top that was damaged from every day use. The chairs were sticky. Fred picked up table and chairs and returned them - restored them to perfection. They look like new. The price was very fair, based on other estimates."

"I had a good experience with them. He did a good job. I got them from Angie's List. They are very honest. The furniture I have is very old. The bed is from the '50s and the tray table is from 1970's. I was thinking of fixing up the finish on it but he was telling me since I don't have the whole set, I gave part of the set to my daughter, that it would be a waste of money to refinish it, and then put the set together and we refinish it again and it's not going to match. He was very honest in his opinion even though he was turning down work."

"We refinished our kitchen cabinets and it is called Best Way Refinishing company. They came out and did things when they said they would. They took the doors actually off the shelves and refinished them. They brought them back and installed them. They replaced the hinges so the doors work better now."

FAQs for furniture refinish projects in Algonquin, IL

A complete table refinishing project requires between four and eight days from start to finish. The actual hands-on work takes between two and 10 hours, with the remaining time dedicated to drying periods between applications. The stripping and sanding phases demand the most active labor, while applying finishes requires patience as each layer dries completely before proceeding.

Several elements influence dining table refinishing costs, with size being the primary factor. Larger tables or those with extensions require more materials and labor time. The wood type matters significantly—hardwoods may need specialized treatment compared to softer woods. The table's current condition also impacts pricing, as damaged surfaces need repairs before refinishing can begin.

Refinishing often proves more economical than purchasing a comparable quality replacement. Professional table refinishing costs between $150 and $400 on average, while preserving the original craftsmanship and character of your piece. 

This approach makes particular sense for well-constructed wood furniture that would be expensive to replace with similar quality. For sentimental pieces or antiques, refinishing also maintains their history and personal value.

Professional furniture refinishers charge between $40 and $100 per hour for their services. This rate varies based on geographic location, the refinisher's experience level, and the complexity of the project. Some professionals offer project-based pricing rather than hourly rates, especially for standard-sized pieces like coffee tables or end tables. When requesting quotes, ask whether the estimate includes materials or represents labor costs only.

For tables with minor wear, you can sometimes refresh the appearance without complete stripping and sanding. Using gel stains and wipe-on finishes can address surface issues while preserving the existing finish underneath. This approach works best for tables with light cosmetic damage rather than those with deep scratches or damaged finishes. However, proper stripping and sanding remain necessary for comprehensive restoration or significant color changes for professional-quality results.
