Hello, thanks for choosing Anthony Raimonde, for your furniture/door strip, refinish and touch up needs. I take great pride in total customer satisfaction and quality service. Call us today. We welcome both residential and commercial jobs!
"This review is long overdue which is my fault! However, I hired Tony and his team to completely refurbish two antique pieces that I inherited from my family - both more than 55 years old. And the photos speak for themselves- both pieces look brand new and I am proud to have them in my home. The dresser was my mom's baby dresser and had been stored in a garage for more than 20 years so the water damage and swelling caused the piece to be unusable. Tony and team rebuilt the entire top to match the style. I now use it daily and each drawer slides open perfectly as well. The vanity was my great grandma's and while I had been using it daily for several years it was also in rough shape. I truly couldn't believe how amazing it looked after the work PFSW did. I ordered custom glass toppers to further protect it and I continue to use it daily. I love having these family heirlooms in my home and I am so glad I trusted them to Tony. Thank you for restoring these treasured pieces."

Owner-operated. Uses subs for plumbing & roofing. Cost is determined by the job. No travel charges. Service fees may apply. May contact through email or cell phone
"We decided to remove the old deck in our back yard and build a new larger one with a pergola. Jim did a great job from start to end. Before starting, he helped us deciding the material by providing quotes using cedar and composite. We decided to use cedar for both deck and pergola, and we love how it came out. Jim was very responsive during the design phase. So, we could finalize the design and start construction. At that point we had a tight schedule because of guests visiting during summer. Jim and his team worked hard and managed to be within schedule. The work was done very carefully, with great attention to details and we are very pleased by the outcome."

In many cases, refinishing your furniture is more affordable than buying new. You can often save up to 50% compared to purchasing new pieces, while also reducing waste and preserving unique items.
When applying a darker stain, you don't need to completely remove the existing lighter stain. However, it's essential to sand the surface and apply a quality sealer before staining to ensure even coverage and adhesion.
Refurbishing involves gentle cleaning and minor touch-ups without altering the existing finish, preserving the original character. Refinishing involves removing the old finish and applying new stain or paint, resulting in a transformed appearance.
Furniture made from materials like plywood, particleboard, or MDF can be challenging to refinish due to their fragility. These materials require extra preparation and may not yield the desired results.
Yes, refinishing antique furniture can decrease its value because collectors often prefer the original finish. Before refinishing an antique, consider consulting a professional to explore restoration options that preserve its historical authenticity.
Water-damaged or swollen wood can be repaired if the damage is not extensive. You begin by assessing the severity of the issue before undertaking repair. Professional refinishing employs techniques such as sanding, filling, and targeted restoration to fix minor imperfections. Skilled intervention salvages the piece’s appearance while ensuring long-term durability and a refreshed finish.
