Does antique furniture lose its value if you refinish it?

• <div><p>Yes, refinishing can decrease or even diminish the value of antique furniture, as most collectors look for original finishes to maintain the piece’s historical integrity. Learning <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-antique-wood.htm">how to clean antique wood</a> and carefully restore the finish without stripping it is the best way to maintain the piece’s original value. Either way, it’s best to take it to a professional furniture refinishing and restoration expert rather than attempting a DIY restoration.</p></div>

Q: What should you not use to clean antique wood?

• <div><p>Stay away from using window cleaners and other harsh cleaning solutions on antique wood&mdash;or any wood in your home for that matter. The pH of the cleaners can break down the finish and permanently damage and stain the wood below. Even when it comes to more durable areas, such as when <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-your-baseboards.htm">cleaning your baseboards</a>, only use cleaning solutions that are safe for porous materials. </p></div>

Q: Do repairs include refinishing?

• <div><p>Yes, many services include refinishing as part of the repair process. Confirm with your contractor.</p></div>

Q: What causes wood furniture to bubble up?

• <div><p>When water penetrates wood, the wood swells, causing the wood and veneer to separate. This separation creates bubbles on the surface of your furniture. If water spills on wood veneer, it needs to be dried ASAP. Surface spills can cause minor damages like white spots and blushing, but if you&rsquo;re slow to action, you&rsquo;re looking at more work&mdash;and spending&mdash;to restore your wood veneer.</p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between furniture restoration and refinishing?

• <div><p>Furniture restoration involves cleaning and minor cosmetic repairs to restore a piece of furniture to its original condition or as close to it as possible. In some cases, restoration may involve refinishing, but the end goal is still to make the furniture look like it did when it was brand-new. Refinishing furniture involves stripping and sanding away the existing finish and then applying a new finish like polyurethane, which may make the item look quite different from the original condition.</p></div>

"We needed our 25 year old sofabed reupholstered, and Parker Upholstery did a wonderful job! We went to their store to pick out fabric, they told us that they could get to it in about six weeks. When the time came, they called to schedule a pickup, came to our house to get the sofa, had it for about a week and a half, and delivered us back a sofa that was better than new. Worth every penny, I'd use them again in a heartbeat."
