"I started to refinish a beautiful old vanity. Half way in I realized I was I in way over my head. Someone had tried refinishing it before me and I thought I could not only fix what that person ruined but make it ten ones better. After realizing that I made it worse, I called The Furniture Doctor. They were going to deliver it back to me but I opted to pick it up at their shop. I WAS BLOWN AWAY!!!!!! I could not believe what these artists did to my vanity. It's absolutely exquisite. They were incredibly accessible, more than reasonably priced and they actually turned what I thought I would have to, broken hearted, throw away back into a beautiful, frequently commented on vanity. There are no words to describe the precision detailing, the artistry and the beauty is actually"

"I have a queen size bedroom set with Bookshelf Headboard & Hutch Dresser with Mirror that I purchased over 25 years ago. I loved this set. However, it was beat up pretty badly, and showed numerous areas of wear & tear. I was very disappointed that after searching everywhere I could think of, I was unable to find new bookshelf bedroom furniture comparable to the current one. Then I discovered Thomas Furniture. And after talking with Bob, he told me about his capability of restoring my furniture like new. I forgot to mention there were two other furniture restoration companies that told me the same thing. But following receipt of my pictures, they failed to contact me again. Anyway, Bob is the main person whom I communicated with. And, according to his word, Thomas Furniture Restoration came and picked up my bedroom set, restored it to like new condition, and returned it within a reasonable amount of time. I highly regard this company, based on my positive overall experience with them. Also, I would definitely recommend them to family & friends!"

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.
