"Our kitchen table chairs and table legs were over 30 years old. The finish was peeling and needed significant refinishing work. We worked with Marcus and we could not be happier with the result. The refinished furniture looks as good or better than the original finish. We would highly recommend this refinishing service."

"Everything went well. The guy showed up on time, put on booties and got to work right away. They were only charging me $150.00 for the rug and the bedroom carpet so I asked the service tech if he would do the staircase too. He agreed to do it and charged me another $30.00. The stairway hadn't been cleaned in a long time and he did a very good job. I am impressed with how well all our old carpeting looks. I have used them to clean carpets in a couple of my apartment buildings and they've always done a good job. Apparently they clean furniture too.  I would definitely recommend them to anybody.

"Ron responded immediately to my call, was prompt for appointment and very considerate of cleanliness while performing the work in my home.  We almost thought the furniture was beyond hope of restoration.  The color was faded  and so worn we thought we had nothing to lose by trying to have it dyed.  His workmanship was way beyond our expectations.  The color was brought back to almost new. The best part is he guarantees his work!  He saved us the cost of replacement and we couldn't
be happier.  We highly recommend!

"I highly recommend Eric to anyone with furniture issues. He is knowledgeable, efficient, on time and does exceptionally fine work. Eric explained everything that was broken in my recliner and specifically how he would repair it. He gave me a reasonable estimate and finished the job under estimate. I have had my Barcalounger for years and it hasn't worked as easilly for a long time. I am truely grateful to have contacted Mr. Fiore, he is exceptional."

"Mr. Arreguin did an amazing job of refinishing a hardwood entrance door and also repairing a cracked door frame. The door is like new. I also appreciate the excellent customer service and communication with Vanessa at his office regarding appointment times. I'm considering JCA for other wood working projects in my home."

"Simon could not have been a better person to work with, very friendly and very knowledgeable. They fixed our broken couch and itâ s even better than new now. They definitely went above and beyond and didnâ t just replace the broken frame but also added additional reinforcement to make it more resistant to breaks. And they are very reasonably priced, especially given the high quality of the work. Definitely recommend this place"

FAQs for furniture refinish projects in Chicago, 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.
