Is furniture restoration worth it?

• <div>Not always—heavily worn or broken furniture often isn’t worth repairing or refinishing (if it’s even possible). While some damage can be repaired and some of the visual appeal restored, major flaws, such as structural issues, can’t be fixed as easily. If you still want a cost-saving furniture refinishing project rather than purchasing all new, consider shopping for similar secondhand pieces at thrift stores, garage sales, and estate sales.</div>

What are the pros and cons of reupholstery?

• <div>As with any project, weighing the pros and cons of upholstery can help determine if that is the right choice for you. The ultimate question is whether it’s <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/consider-reupholstery-instead-new-furniture.htm">worth reupholstering instead of buying new furniture</a>. Here are a few of the benefits and disadvantages of reupholstering a piece of furniture.Pros:<ul><li>Preserving a family heirloom</li><li>Maintaining high-quality furniture in good condition</li><li>Reinventing an old piece of furniture</li><li>Keeping a piece of furniture from going to a landfill</li></ul>Cons:<ul><li>Spending (possibly) more than to buy a new piece of furniture</li><li>Finding out the frame is beyond repair</li><li>Waiting for the reupholstery work to be done</li></ul></div>

Joe was an extreme professional. Courteous and very nice. He helped move an exercise bike from the basement to first floor and move furniture in different rooms. He arrived on time and had all the equipment needed to do the job, quickly and professionally. Highly recommend!

Roger and Jeremiah arrived on time and were very professional the entire time they were at my house. They took their shoes off while in the house and replaced all furniture they had to move in order to get at the vents. They even entertained my 18 month old and goofed around with him as he was...

Our move in to-do list had accumulated. It was furniture assembly and hanging tapestries and artwork. It went great and we were very happy.

They were selling a supposed $8,000 furniture set for $3,400. They mis-represented the product, and grossly mis-represented the price of furniture. They refused to give us a refund. And we are currently suing them.

Everything was great! The furniture was carefully moved and the prep work was excellent. They removed all electrical outlet covers instead of painting over them, and carefully replaced the furniture. It looked great. I felt I had a whole new house.

They were very prompt and moved everything carefully. The move was as simple as a move ever can be. They were very helpful when moving the furniture back into the new house and ensuring that we had the placement we wanted. Everyone was very professional and pleasant to work with.

They pre-treated for stains and were able to remove them without a problem. They moved furniture as needed and put it back in place properly after the job was done. What I like best about this system is that they use a truck-mount system, using their own water.

"I found that seller by accident through Angi list. I was not searching for Angie's list. Stole my information off the internet and referred Anthony to me. Angie's list didn't tell me how the process worked so I paid the seller up front halfthe money for the project. Anthony came picked up my he followed all directions to a tee of how I wanted my furniture painted how I want it drawn like the flowers on it furniture and after 4: weeks he turned the piece into something marvelous. This is a honest contractor cuz he could have took my money and peace and ran with it because Angie didn't tell me how to process worked but he did exactly what I asked him to do and I am so happy about the way my furniture piece turned out.
