"Thomas Ahrens is an artist. His work is always completed to perfection. He has done woodworking projects for us, built a pergola, a cupola, mantel, updated a bathroom, created butcher blocks, and has installed flooring in every room of our house. If you hire Thomas for any remodeling/building project, be prepared to be amazed!!! I wish I would have known him when our house was built. I would have hired him to build cabinets and furniture as his workmanship is outstanding."

"Everything was great. They were here when they said they would be and it took less time than expected. We've purchased a lot of furniture from them over the years and their service has always been top notch."

"He did a really good job and we just got it back on Wednesday of this week. We have a dog that chewed our leather couch and chewed holes in different spots. He had to replace pieces of it and then re-stain it. It came back and it looks brand new. They did an excellent job. He was very friendly and very personable. He did have a little bit of trouble with getting our furniture back when he said, but he got real sick and ended up in the hospital. It was fine; it was not like we were sitting on tin cans. If we had needed it right away, I think they would have done something, but we were not in a hurry. He came in and did the quote. After we decided to go ahead and have it done, then he came with his nephew to take the furniture out of our house. He wasn't even here 10 minutes; he had the furniture loaded, and was driving off with it. He really knows what he is doing. He quoted us a price and that was the price we paid. He didn't overcharge us, which was very credible. When they brought the furniture back, he brought it in, and put it back together."

FAQs for furniture refinish projects in Dayton, OH

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.
