"Craig was very helpful in all elements of the project. He helped us decide on color and finish for cabinet doors, on the replacement of some cabinets with drawers, and on crowning the cabinets. He was very prompt and professional throughout and we would gladly hire him again."

"From initial contact with Jon in the estimate process to final install the entire transaction was handled with professionalism and attention to detail. The worksite was kept tidy, the appointments to be onsite were punctual. Jon was aware that the home he was working on, my parent's home, was for sale however no corners were cut. The cabinets are beautiful, the installation flawless. Emphatically yes I would hire Northshore Finishing again, I am actually in the process of having my kitchen cabinets in my home refinished by them now!"

"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 sent out 3 RFPs via Angie's List e-mail early one Sunday morning. Paula called me within an hour of my posting. I sent her photos of the work I wanted done and she sent me a proposal the next day. I waited a few days for other proposals to return but Paul/Paula's was the best--not only least expensive but also most complete. (Paul is the company name, Paula was my contact.) The proposal included new cushions (sorely needed--pun intended), stuffing and stainguard. I ordered my fabric from Joann's Fabric (40% off) and saved another $600 above the discounts Paula gave me. (I also saved $1500+ by using Joann's estimate of yardage online--other upholsterer's asked for twice as much fabric as I sent to Paul's--and they sent me fabric back!) Paula told me it would take 6 weeks for the 3 loveseats and wing chair--it took 2 weeks. I was thrilled with results and ---I had over 3 yards of fabric returned, so I sent it back to Paul's with the four additional chairs and had them reupholstered as well. I had bought this furniture 30 years ago and loved it the entire time. The upholstery had gone threadbare and the cushions were shot. Paul's essentially rebuilt the loveseats and replaced the cushions, giving me entirely new furniture of a design that I couldn't replace. I would absolutely recommend them to anybody and would use them again--if I'm still around in 30 years. I expect Paul's will be. I figure, including the 50% savings on fabric (because I only had to buy half as much), the project with Paul's cost me 30-50% less than the next nearest estimate. I couldn't be happier. Ok, one criticism. They could have use the little spiral upholstery pins to pin on the armrest covers that they included, to make them look neater. So I bought some at Joann's and did it myself. $6"

"The results look great. they pulled all the doors and drawers ( @ 30 doors And drawers) and took them back to their shop for refinishing. They masked off all the walls and appliances did the wood faces over a few days. They reinstalled the doors and drawers with new pulls that we provided. The results look better than the original finish. These cabinets were 25 yrs old but are solid oak fronts. We left a key for the owner and we felt comfortable doing so. We have a large dog and they were keen to get to know her when they first got there. All in all we are pleased with the results. <br />"

"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."

FAQs for furniture refinish projects in Crystal Lake, 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.
