"The provider claimed he was doing the procedure correctly by sanding, just one spot and putting stain over the area. He refused to completely sand, the whole table, and just claimed by putting a second coat of stain, it would look fine. He did not have any tools or sandpaper with him and asked us for some sandpaper . I inquired about sanding the whole table and he kept insisting that it was fine that he only sanded the spots that had crazy glue drop on it. I said he needed to sand the whole table and he just sat there and argued with me. He argued with me so much. I told him to go and leave the project. We called him after a few days and we requested our money back that he did not complete the job. He said he could do it the way I wanted it done by sanding the whole table. We gave him another chance to correct his work. He came out and worked on the table for two hours. He sanded 1/2 of the table and spots on the other half of the table, he did not sand the two inserts that also belong to the table. Then he proceeded to stain all pieces whether they were sanded or they were not sanded. He put stain over the old stain and said that that was fine, he had used a little steel wool to rough it up. and then he stained the half of the apron because he couldn’t see the top of the whole apron. He sloppily corrected a nick in the table and said it was fine. Everything he touched on the table made the table worse, I told him to stop working on it and leave and I wanted my money back. He refuses to give my money back. He does not know what he’s doing. He lied about his ability. He’s an old man that is not all with it in the brain. He thinks he wants to come back and try to fix it some more. I am not letting him touch my table. On further inspection he has sanded out the routed edge of the table. He has put the stain on and never wiped it off and he just did everything wrong and he thinks he’s doing it correctly. He should not be doing any work for any one."

Furniture Refinishing questions, answered by experts

Use rugs in high-traffic areas, immediately clean up spills, and do regular dust mopping.

If you spill wood refinishing oil, wipe up the liquid quickly without spreading the stain and then use soap and water or a stain remover to get rid of the spot. Since the product is oil based, using a detergent like dish soap or a thinner like mineral spirits will help take out the stain. You may need to repeat this process multiple times to remove the stain.

It is possible to refinish a table without stripping and sanding it by repairing small dents. You’ll use a gel stain, and then put on a wipe-on finish. The downside is this won't result in as smooth and as deep of a finish as if you had stripped the table. Also, any blemishes on your table will remain.

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.

Wood filler is used to fix imperfections or damaged interior sections of wood on items like cabinets, door frames, and even laminate floors or countertops. It contains wood byproducts like sawdust mixed with water or solvent, which helps bind to wood and dry pretty quickly.
