"????? Absolutely Unreliable and Dishonest ? Avoid at All Costs The Barefoot Builder (Abraham and Kenneth) are the most unprofessional and unreliable contractors I?ve ever dealt with. Angi recommended them on Sept 30. After multiple delays ? photos requested on Oct 3, job surveyed Oct 4, estimate received Oct 7, and price agreed ($100 per window frame) ? they finally scheduled work for Oct 17 at 9 a.m. By then, the project was already a week behind, but I agreed to wait. On Oct 17, I checked in at 9:14 a.m. and was told, ?Absolutely, I?ll be there before noon.? Then came excuse after excuse: a ?family emergency,? ?Kenneth is on the way,? ?45 minutes out.? They never showed up. At 5:30 p.m., I told them not to come since I had already done half the work myself. Zero integrity, zero respect for people?s time, and no work ethic whatsoever. A complete joke of a business ? stay far away."

"Very please with the project. We had Abe build two custom dressers. We wanted them to match the ones we already had. Karla and Abe came , listened to us, and the end product was excellent. They were very courteous, professional and finished the work on time. We were kept informed of the project status. The workmanship is flawless. We wanted a small stool built as an aside. It was made perfectly, exactly how we wanted, and they did not even charge us for it!! We will surely use they again. We very highly recommend them."

"JM Decks and Fences did an INCREDIBLE job with our deck! The pictures speak for themselves, but I'd like to emphasize the quality and careful craftsmanship that is especially appreciated when you see it up close–everyone that sees it comments on how well-done and beautiful it looks! The job was not easy - they completed it in the winter time when the ground was frozen and there was even a snow day. Nevertheless, the JM Decks team was quick, attentive to detail, respectful, communicative, and kept the workspace clean and organized. They completed the job quickly (despite the snow!) and immediately hauled away the old deck parts. They checked in with us several times to make sure we were happy with the progress. Everything was done to code and the quality of their work was outstanding. I would not think twice before hiring them again and have already recommended them to several friends and neighbors. Thank you, JM Decks!"

FAQs for furniture refinish projects in Durham, NC

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.
