"I can unequivocally recommend Peter’s Wood Refinishing for interior wood restoration. They know their stuff and are straightforward in the advice and recommendations they offer. We initially sought a front door restoration quote from Peter’s, but once we met Araceli and saw her demeanor and knowledge of the work, we asked her that same day to give us a quote on stripping/refinishing the wood trim throughout the common areas of our 3BR apartment, to include the baseboards, crown molding, multiple doorframes, and picture hanger trim. Detail-oriented and keen to coordinate on ultimate results (including the stain color for some hard-to-strip/match birch) and post-job follow-up, Peter’s crew showed up on time and ready to work for what became a 2-3 week job that was worth every penny considering the character and soul the restoration brought back to our once-bland, painted-over space. Hats off to Peter’s Wood Refinishing – just can’t recommend them enough."

"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."

"I had a good experience with them. He did a good job. I got them from Angie's List. They are very honest. The furniture I have is very old. The bed is from the '50s and the tray table is from 1970's. I was thinking of fixing up the finish on it but he was telling me since I don't have the whole set, I gave part of the set to my daughter, that it would be a waste of money to refinish it, and then put the set together and we refinish it again and it's not going to match. He was very honest in his opinion even though he was turning down work."

"Bill is a great craftsman and very easy to work with. He has been in business a long time, and really knows his craft. He came to our home to provide an estimate, and also gave us more information about the type of wood in our 1922 bungalow. Best Way refinished the interior doors over 3 weeks, and then scheduled the exteriors doors so they could return them in 3 days. We compared their work with another refinishing company, and Best Way quality was 10x better. Bill returned phone calls quickly, and let us know about their schedule and when things would happen."

FAQs for furniture refinish projects in Harvey, 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.
