How much does furniture refinishing cost?

• <div><p>The cost to refinish furniture varies significantly depending on the type of furniture, its material, and its age, but the average cost is about <b>$600 per piece</b>. For larger pieces or antique pieces that require greater care, you could pay up to around <b>$1,000 per piece </b>for refinishing. Small pieces of furniture like bar stools or dining chairs usually cost between <b>$100 and $400</b> each. Your refinishing professional might charge by the hour rather than by piece, in which case you would expect to spend <b>$40 to $100</b> per hour of work required.</p></div>

When should you not use wood filler?

• <div><p>Avoid using wood filler for structural repairs or areas with extensive damage. Wood filler is designed for cosmetic fixes like filling small holes, cracks, or surface imperfections, and it doesn't provide the strength needed for load-bearing repairs or large gaps. You also shouldn’t use wood filler in areas exposed to heavy moisture or extreme outdoor conditions unless it’s a product specifically rated for such environments. Wood replacement or a strong epoxy resin is a better solution for severe rot or structural damage. </p></div>

Q: Should I even bother to ship my bedroom furniture?

• <div><p>Whether it is <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/should-i-ship-furniture-or-buy-new-when-moving.htm">worth it to ship your bedroom furniture</a> depends on your priorities, but it can be hard to decide. You should ship your bedroom furniture if the pieces have sentimental or antique value and if it will make you happy to have them in your new home. But if your mattress or box spring is worn out (the average lifespan of a bed is seven to ten years), it's probably not worth the money or effort to ship if you&rsquo;re moving somewhere where bedroom furniture is readily available. </p></div>

Q: Do you need to remove the stain before refinishing?

• <div><p>Removing the original paint or stain before refinishing is a good idea, as it ensures the new finish bonds strongly to the wood. If you skip the stripping or sanding step, the new finish may peel or flake away from the railing easily. Using a wood stripper will completely remove the old stain or paint while sanding will help to prime the surface.</p></div>

Q: Where did the black stains on my wood furniture come from?

• <div><p>Black stains appear on wood furniture when the surface comes in contact with water and metal for an extended time. It creates a chemical reaction that stains your wood black. Products that contain oxalic acid can remove these stains. Its bleach-like qualities can reverse the stains after a few rounds of application.</p></div>

Terry came exactly as promised- he sanded the old wood floors and refinished them. They are gleaming and beautiful. It took several days for them to dry, but it was well worth it. We were told there would be fine dust covering everything so there were no surprises
