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."

"I contacted this business via Angie's list. Mike Friedman responded promptly. Unfortunately, we played some phone tag. He happened to call me while I was waiting for an important work call, and then the following day while I was driving my kid to swim lessons. I apologized for the phone tag and I asked him if I could call him back when my kid was at his lesson, to which he responded, with a mean tone "No." I told him I was doing the best I could to take care of this job, but I also work full time and have kids. His response to this, again with a mean tone, "Well you're not doing a very good job" Completely unprofessional."

Biango Construction strives on giving all of our customers the best quality craftsmanship and pricing in the industry. Locally owned operated. We guarantee your satisfaction! Free estimates.
"I had Biango Construction complete a full gut renovation of my main floor powder room and laundry room/mudroom. This included a major change in layouts and moving walls, doors, HVAC, plumbing, gas lines, and electrical. I also had custom cabinets and hall tree built for the space. The final result is exceptional (see photos). While the time ended up taking longer than originally expected, it was worth it to have a trusted pro do the work and to deal with the permit process. The company was easy to work with, professional, and maintained a clean workspace across my house. All individuals working on my house with Nick Biango paid high attention to detail throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend Biango Construction to anyone doing renovations or wanting built-ins added to their home."

"Bonnie has cost your business the possibility of revenue due to her discriminatory questioning. Her heavy non-English accent was very hard to understand. She also cheapened your company by stating right off the bat if the homeowner spoke English, then long paused. She rudely remarked no Senior discounts then another long pause. We own an over million dollar mansion/landmark and her demeanor has made it a loss for your mediocre contractor business."

FAQs for furniture refinish projects in Chicago, IL
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.
