Hello, thanks for choosing Anthony Raimonde, for your furniture/door strip, refinish and touch up needs. I take great pride in total customer satisfaction and quality service. Call us today. We welcome both residential and commercial jobs!
"I like that Tony is a family owned business. The work was done in great time and it was beautifully finished. 4 wood chairs with upholstery. Over 40 years old and the wood was stained and the cushions were beyond being able to clean. With the material I purchased to re-cover, his company did a great job. I'm unable to post the photos in this email, however, Mr. Raimonde has the before and after photos. He could possibly provide them to you as proof how good they look. I highly recommend Tony and his company."

Owner-operated. Uses subs for plumbing & roofing. Cost is determined by the job. No travel charges. Service fees may apply. May contact through email or cell phone
"We decided to remove the old deck in our back yard and build a new larger one with a pergola. Jim did a great job from start to end. Before starting, he helped us deciding the material by providing quotes using cedar and composite. We decided to use cedar for both deck and pergola, and we love how it came out. Jim was very responsive during the design phase. So, we could finalize the design and start construction. At that point we had a tight schedule because of guests visiting during summer. Jim and his team worked hard and managed to be within schedule. The work was done very carefully, with great attention to details and we are very pleased by the outcome."

Refinishing often only costs about half of what you’d spend on a comparable new piece and lets you keep the character you already love. Beyond the quick savings, you’re also cutting waste and avoiding the higher price of quality, brand-new furniture. For most homeowners, it’s a budget-smart and sustainable win.
Refurbishing preserves the original finish—think deep cleaning, tightening joints, and minor repairs — to refresh the piece without altering its appearance. Refinishing is more dramatic: Pros strip the old finish, sand, then add new stain or paint for an entirely new color or sheen. Both approaches improve appearance; the right choice depends on how much change you want.
Furniture that is severely worn, damaged, or made from fragile materials such as plywood, particleboard, or MDF is not suitable for refinishing. Items with significant structural issues or heavy deterioration often fail to achieve a quality finish, even after extra preparation. Select pieces with robust construction to ensure lasting beauty and durability.
Refinishing can affect the value of an antique piece. Serious collectors prize the original finish because it shows a piece’s age and craftsmanship. Stripping that patina can lower market value. If the goal is resale, talk with an appraiser or restoration pro before sanding anything. For heirloom pieces you plan to keep, a careful refinish may still be worth it if it protects the wood and lets you enjoy the furniture every day.
Water-damaged or swollen wood is often repairable. If the swelling is mild and hasn’t warped the structure, a pro can dry the wood, sand it flat, fill any cracks, and seal it before applying the new finish. Severe water damage that has twisted or split the frame is more challenging—and costly—to repair and may necessitate partial replacement. Let a refinishing specialist assess the piece first.
Acrylic paint is a top choice for most wood furniture because it applies smoothly, adheres well to primed surfaces, and cures into a tough, long-lasting finish. When you prep correctly—clean, sand, and prime—you’ll get even color that stands up to daily wear. For outdoor pieces, choose an acrylic formulated for exterior use to add extra UV protection.
