"Young was very patient with me as I have very high expectations but I was frustrated from the remediation company damaging my furniture. He explained since it was older furniture it would not be perfect but much better than what It was. He delivered on that promise and I didn’t make it easy for him. He was very kind and the result was quite good"

"Harvey is aPro! He put a very complicated desk together and hung some large mirrors and large pictures for me. He?s great. Wonderful Craftsman. I will use his services again for sure. Thanks Harvey!"
"First the price was amazing for pet odor and stain treatment. My home smelled like eucalyptus after instead of wet dog. He was willing to do the extra thoughtful things that other companies wouldnâ t. He cleaned in all the tight areas that the prior company did not want to, he brought us shoe coverings so we can walk on the carpet right after, and did a walk around with us after."
To safeguard your furniture and upholstered items, it's best to use plastic wrap or specially-made plastic sofa covers. However, you should avoid wrapping wooden furniture in plastic if you plan on storing it, as plastic can trap moisture and warp the wood, plus it may damage certain finishes. In either case, old blankets or moving blankets make excellent alternatives. For protecting delicate glass table tops and mirrors, bubble wrap is always a reliable choice.
If your usually super soft couch feels crusty and rough after cleaning, it could be that you haven’t removed the cleaning product properly, you used too much, or you applied the wrong type. Always check the couch tags to select the right cleaning product, read application instructions carefully, and test on an inconspicuous corner. For fabrics such as microfiber, you can soften and fluff crusty fibers using a soft-bristled brush.
Costs depend on fabric choice, furniture size, cushioning, and labor. For significant projects, expect estimates between $350 and $1,200.
Reupholstering an old or antique chair can be worthwhile if the frame is still sturdy and the piece has sentimental or monetary value. Reupholstery often costs less than buying a high-quality new chair, and you can customize the look. However, extensive repairs or rare fabrics may increase the total cost.
It is often worthwhile to refinish or restore furniture, especially for high-quality, older, antique, or sentimental pieces. Older furniture tends to have better durability than modern, mass-produced items, and refinishing can cost about one-third of the price of replacement. To determine if it's cost-effective, compare quotes from local refinishing services with the price of a new, similar piece. Refinishing can refresh a piece's look and extend its lifespan. However, it may not be worth it for newer furniture made of medium-density fiberboard (MDF) or plywood, or for items with major structural damage. A professional can help you assess the piece and decide on the best course of action.
