"Jose did wonderful cabinetry work for us, refacing the doors on a built in wardrobe, building a new attached bookshelf unit, and combining them seamlessly. He was very communicative, flexible, and responsive. Would definitely recommend."

"I can unequivocally recommend Peter’s Wood Refinishing for interior wood restoration. They know their stuff and are straightforward in the advice and recommendations they offer. We initially sought a front door restoration quote from Peter’s, but once we met Araceli and saw her demeanor and knowledge of the work, we asked her that same day to give us a quote on stripping/refinishing the wood trim throughout the common areas of our 3BR apartment, to include the baseboards, crown molding, multiple doorframes, and picture hanger trim. Detail-oriented and keen to coordinate on ultimate results (including the stain color for some hard-to-strip/match birch) and post-job follow-up, Peter’s crew showed up on time and ready to work for what became a 2-3 week job that was worth every penny considering the character and soul the restoration brought back to our once-bland, painted-over space. Hats off to Peter’s Wood Refinishing – just can’t recommend them enough."

"It took a while before Jon could get to the work (I'm very sure he's a very busy guy). However, it was a small job and he said he would fit it in when he could. He kept to his word and took one complete day to re-sand and re-stain the window sills; he took the cabinet doors to his shop. A week later he came back to put one more coat of lacquer on the window sills and re-install the cabinet doors. The work is beautiful and exactly what I wanted! I had one guy give me a estimate to skip the re-staining and just paint all the cabinets (which would have been completely wrong for the apartment and the building); he didn't want to do what I was asking for. Jon listened to what I wanted, was COMPLETELY professional and the work is absolutely beautiful!"

"Alan and his crew did a beautiful job. I was expecting two panels with a seam in the middle of the headboard and footboard. Instead, they made three panels, and used trim from left-over pieces to cover the seams. The queen size headboard and footboard look like they were originally made for the bedroom set. The bed matches the rest of the bedroom furniture, perfectly. I also want to emphasize that they refinished the wood to a beautiful shade of red/brown mahogany that also matches the rest of the furniture. (I've seen refinished red/brown mahogany end up more like dark brown.) The stain and finish were done to perfection. I couldn't be happier with our "new" headboard and footboard."

FAQs for furniture refinish projects in Winnetka, 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.
