"Ramon comes with career of experience having worked at a major furniture chain repairing and refinishing experience. His aim is to please. His is timely, professional and an artist of his profession. He even brought the nightstand back halfway through his refinishing to ask me if I like the color he was staining. He is outgoing and his charge is minimal when you compare to other refinishers. You will not be sorry!"

"We used Loya Cleaning in our previous home two times and appreciated Felix's personal attention, professionalism and promptness. We moved into a new house about 6 months ago and had Loya cleaning begin bi-weekly services a couple of months ago. I trust them to be in our house without us here and always come home to an impeccably clean home. I had previously tried a national chain for cleaning and it was terrible and overpriced. Felix usually comes to my house himself with his crew (including his son when he's on break from college) and takes pride in his work. Very reasonably priced and very friendly!

"Nathan did an aswesome job. He is a perfectionist. I have used him before from a prior leak under a kitchen sink. I live out of state , which is very stressful to trust someone to repair sheetrock, remediate mold, rebuild the heater stand which was soaked through and point out issues on my behalf. He provided me with photos each stap of the way, explaining everything he did. He and his crew did a beautiful job with the finish on the sheetrock matching the existing and even had to get some paints to match the existing colors on the walls. He came over the next day after I called him to review the damage. More prompt then "real" doctors!"

"This was the 2nd time we used them and it won’t be the last. The team is extremely professional and work to get the project done within timelines. They are always open to changes and will let you know if those changes will alter timelines or your budget. I keep their phone number in my phone because if I need a little handy work done they do their best to help when they can."

FAQs for furniture refinish projects in San Diego, 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.
