"Mark Carson was professional, courteous, empathetic, clean and very covid-19 conscious. Mark and his team came in, worked with us getting us the exact colors that we wanted for our cabinets. He cleaned up after every visit. It wasn't an overnight transformation but Mark gave us an exact timeline on when to expect completion of each phase. Mark then designed us a one of a kind countertop using high quality epoxies and we have something that looks like stone and just as durable. With a one day installation of our countertop using our new sink, faucets and garbage disposal. Had all of our plumbing hooked up and ready for use. I would recommend Mark Carson's company for all cabinet and furniture refurbishing. We have an antique desk that we will be handing off to Mark to refinish. We know we can trust Mark with any project. Hire Mark Carson."

"Craig repaired and refinished a family heirloom dining table that had been sitting neglected in my basement for years. When he says "I bring your furniture back to life" he really does! What once was a dilapidated and unused table is now a source of pride and beauty in my home. Thank you Frankenstein!"

"I will say that the work was exquisite. The damaged piece was a 70+ year old mahogany chest of drawers that had been my grandparents. You would never be able to tell that a repair was made - it is seamless.  All of the pieces came out beautifully. When they picked up the pieces on April 14, I was told it would take 4-6 weeks. It was actually 3 1/2 months before the furniture was completed. The only time I spoke to them was when I initiated the call. So, you will get excellent work, but be aware that they are slow. I would suggest you call every week at a minimum to keep on their radar.

"John and his grandson, Mark, started right on time on the date and at the time promised. John was careful in the drywall and plaster repair, taking care that the textured pattern of the new plaster matched that of the old plaster. The painting was done neatly and carefully using high quality paint matching the color we requested. The work took one day longer than the 4 days estimated. But John and Mark came every day until the work was finished. The walls and ceilings had never been painted before and the plaster absorbed more paint than John had estimated. John explained this to us when it became apparent that more paint would be needed. We agreed to pay for the additional paint at his discounted cost. The repaired, repainted garage is beautiful."

FAQs for furniture refinish projects in Indianapolis, IN

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.
