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>

Does vinegar remove wood stain?

• <div><p>Vinegar won’t strip the wood stain from your wood, but it can help remove a different type of stain. If you’re dealing with food stains or trying to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-remove-water-stains-wood.htm">remove water rings on your wood</a>, you can use a little olive oil and vinegar (mixed equally) to remove those stains without stripping your actual wood stain. Just rub the solution in the direction of the wood grain, let it sit, and then wipe it away with a damp towel.</p></div>

Does vinegar remove polyurethane from wood?

• <div><p>Yes, vinegar can remove polyurethane from wood, but it is a slow, inefficient, and inconsistent restoration method. Whatever your intention, it’s best to avoid using vinegar on wood with a polyurethane finish—though it can be an effective cleaner for other wood finishes.</p></div>

I was looking to refresh my kitchen and did not want to spend tens of thousands on all new cabinets. Courtney refinished my cabinets for a fraction of the price and they look AMAZING! She was very respectful of my home and made it look amazing. Thanks Courtney!

I've used the services provided by AFCR for many years now. Kelly knows what he is doing and is very good at it. He's cleaned and repaired many furniture sets for me over the years and I'll continue to hire him for, hopefully, many more.

They did a nice job on the walls and ceiling but clean up was not good. They broke an interior window, promised to replace it but won't show up. Several appointments and excuses, a year later and still not fixed. Didn't respect the interior furniture, organ, alter. This is an old Church. Not...

Our floors could not look better and they were in rough condition. I cant say enough about the quality workmanship and knowledge that went in to our repaired and refinished, 1949 floors becoming new again! Thanks so much for recommending such an experienced and professional contractor.

The refinished stool is much nicer than I expected. It was done 2 weeks earlier than was estimated.

Tony did a wonderful job. He not only completed the work as we had discussed (fixing a crack on the top of the dresser, repairing the mirror and refinishing), he went above and beyond. He cleaned and refinished the hardware and added drawer stops, among other things. Tony also repaired a broken...

Very good, they were prompt, professional, very easy to work with and coordinate schedules with. The ability to coordinate schedules was particularly important as it required us moving a lot of furniture. Didn't break anything or create any messes, and everything works.

They were very good at covering furniture and moving the heavier items around. They were neat and detailed in their work. Very good with cleanup. Pat's initial estimate of work to be done and charges was very reasonable. I plan on using Pat again.
