"I would highly recommend Dennis Furniture Service. The project was to refinish a 1960's heirloom 7-piece cherry bedroom set that was in terrible condition - water marks, deep scratches & dings etc. In addition to looking brand new, Anthony recommended a stain color that not only brings out the beauty of the grain of the wood but makes the set look updated. Upon delivery of the finished product, they took great care to place it exactly where I wanted. I'm thrilled to have such a wonderful experience!"

"He is a perfectionist that makes sure that things are right. One time a subcontractor split oil and he came right back to personally clean it up. His quality of is impeccable. Our home is going to be in the Manteca Garden Tour next year in part because of the great work that he did."

"Sam came over and gave us a competitive quote. We accepted and they started a week later. The crew of 4 were always very professional and courteous while they performed there work. It was a rather large job that included texture work. The final product was just perfect. They actually spent one whole day looking for touch up spots and making sure nothing was overlooked. Very clean workers.... We are going to use them next year on the exterior of our home. Bravo!! <br />"

""We wanted the foot ottoman portion of one of our older recliners repaired. His work was excellent. The chair had been repaired before by another party and that repair failed. He showed us why it had failed. He took the mechanism off the chair and returned with it when he said he would and the repair has held up beautifully. He even fixed the damage done by the previous botched repair Excellent work, punctual, good time estimation and good communication. We will definitely be using his services in the future. ""

FAQs for furniture refinish projects in Modesto, CA

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.
