"I sent out 3 RFPs via Angie's List e-mail early one Sunday morning. Paula called me within an hour of my posting. I sent her photos of the work I wanted done and she sent me a proposal the next day. I waited a few days for other proposals to return but Paul/Paula's was the best--not only least expensive but also most complete. (Paul is the company name, Paula was my contact.) The proposal included new cushions (sorely needed--pun intended), stuffing and stainguard. I ordered my fabric from Joann's Fabric (40% off) and saved another $600 above the discounts Paula gave me. (I also saved $1500+ by using Joann's estimate of yardage online--other upholsterer's asked for twice as much fabric as I sent to Paul's--and they sent me fabric back!) Paula told me it would take 6 weeks for the 3 loveseats and wing chair--it took 2 weeks. I was thrilled with results and ---I had over 3 yards of fabric returned, so I sent it back to Paul's with the four additional chairs and had them reupholstered as well. I had bought this furniture 30 years ago and loved it the entire time. The upholstery had gone threadbare and the cushions were shot. Paul's essentially rebuilt the loveseats and replaced the cushions, giving me entirely new furniture of a design that I couldn't replace. I would absolutely recommend them to anybody and would use them again--if I'm still around in 30 years. I expect Paul's will be. I figure, including the 50% savings on fabric (because I only had to buy half as much), the project with Paul's cost me 30-50% less than the next nearest estimate. I couldn't be happier. Ok, one criticism. They could have use the little spiral upholstery pins to pin on the armrest covers that they included, to make them look neater. So I bought some at Joann's and did it myself. $6"

"Instead of buying a new table and chairs, we decided to have our current table repaired and refinished.  The table and chairs are like new.  Fred put a coating on the table and chairs and they are now water repellent... so really, better than new.  He also added new sliders to the bottom of the chairs so they do not scratch the floor.  It took a little extra time to get the table back; however, Fred kept in touch.  Worth the wait. <br />"

"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."

"Mr. Arreguin did an amazing job of refinishing a hardwood entrance door and also repairing a cracked door frame. The door is like new. I also appreciate the excellent customer service and communication with Vanessa at his office regarding appointment times. I'm considering JCA for other wood working projects in my home."

"Robert is amazing. He is a incredibly skilled, insightful and a great person with which to work. He restored an antique 19th century mantel mirror that we feared was beyond repair. He was so knowledgable and honest that I would have trusted him if he'd said it was beyond repair. It is a huge piece. Robert refinished and stained it, and it looks better than we could have hoped. After picking up the piece (it's a 2 person job) he brought pieces back to check that the stain color was what we wanted. He matched the color perfectly. Rob even came up with a solution for hanging this heavy piece and mounted it for us. It is a focal point of the room and people always comment. We are so grateful! Since this job, he's been out to work on our antique dining room table. For that project, he offered us a variety of different options (ranging in time and price) which we really appreciated. We hope to work with him again on a number of projects on our wish list. A+++"

"Brought in two large seat cushions from microfiber couch that was only 4 years old. They no longer offered any support and we, as well as our guests, had trouble getting off the couch. Took the cushions to Chair People and assessed the problem (stuffed with feathers) and offered a solution (foam). I was able to choose my firmness and they were able to accommodate the large size (our couch is really deep). The cushions were ready for pickup within the week. <br />"

FAQs for furniture refinish projects in Plainfield, 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.
