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>

Q: How long does wood stain last?

• <div><p>Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it&rsquo;s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to restore or refinish furniture?

• <div><p>Restoring furniture generally takes less time because the fixes involved are mostly surface-level cosmetic repairs. In most cases, a project like this will be completed in one to two days at most. By contrast, refinishing can take anywhere from several days to a couple of weeks because it requires sanding and treating damaged wood, adding a new stain, finish, or layer of paint, and drying time. </p></div>

Q: What is the difference between resurfacing and refinishing?

• <div><p>The difference between resurfacing and refinishing is that refinishing only works on solid surfaces that are in good condition, whereas resurfacing will restore a cracked or worn surface to its original, blemish-free state. Refinishing will leave you with a smooth and glossy surface you can&rsquo;t get from resurfacing alone. If that&rsquo;s the look you&rsquo;re going for, contact a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/concrete-finishing/">local concrete finishing contractor</a> to achieve it.</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>

American Dry Basement (ADB) was contracted to seal our entire dirt cellar with their spray concrete product. Our hopes were that it would reduce the moisture under our house, keep out the winter wind and burrowing rodents, and finally provide us a place we could store seasonal furniture, etc....

Red oak floors looked like they were never refinished in their 25 years of use. Water and pet stains were a challenge to sand, but the team worked their magic to improve the appearance 100%.

Beautiful refinishing job. Got color just right, not too glossy so grain of wods shows itself off nicely. I appreciate Andrews' attention to detail, such as not only polishing aged brass feet on pedestal base but also adding teflon sliders to raise them up slightly so metal won't scratch floor.
