Does antique furniture lose its value if you refinish it?

• <div><p>Yes, refinishing can decrease or even diminish the value of antique furniture, as most collectors look for original finishes to maintain the piece’s historical integrity. Learning <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-antique-wood.htm">how to clean antique wood</a> and carefully restore the finish without stripping it is the best way to maintain the piece’s original value. Either way, it’s best to take it to a professional furniture refinishing and restoration expert rather than attempting a DIY restoration.</p></div>

Q: How long can furniture sit in water before being ruined?

• <div><p>Wood furniture is usually vulnerable to water damage. However, larger furniture tends to have a high chance of being salvaged as long as it hasn&rsquo;t been standing in water for more than 24 hours. You can restore bedpoles, table and couch legs, and other wood parts that haven&rsquo;t been fully saturated. Meanwhile, smaller objects like decors or furniture with fabric wrapping may require full replacement.</p></div>

Q: What causes wood furniture to bubble up?

• <div><p>When water penetrates wood, the wood swells, causing the wood and veneer to separate. This separation creates bubbles on the surface of your furniture. If water spills on wood veneer, it needs to be dried ASAP. Surface spills can cause minor damages like white spots and blushing, but if you&rsquo;re slow to action, you&rsquo;re looking at more work&mdash;and spending&mdash;to restore your wood veneer.</p></div>

Q: Do services include refinishing or upholstery?

• <div><p>Yes, many custom builders offer finishing and upholstery options tailored to your style.</p></div>

Q: Can you use wood filler to repair veneer?

• <div><p>Wood filler can be used to repair minor scratches, dents, and damages on wood veneer. Simply scrape the wood filler over the chipped or scratched area. Make sure to leave a little bit more than you need so you can sand it down for a smoother finish. Repaint or restrain the surface to ensure a consistent color.</p></div>

Hands down the most professional company I have ever hired. Jonathan and his team went far and beyond making sure the jobs was done professionally and clean. Making sure all my furniture was covered and floors. He paining the inside of my house, outside, pressure washed my home and my driveway....

My move coordinator, Robert Arrowsmith, was amazing. Isaac's subcontracted to Shleppers Movers for the move from Long Island City. 3 movers showed up and were packed everything that hadn't been packed. They were courteous and effiicient. Movers from Isaac's delivered the furniture and were very...

Al and his helper arrived on time every day. They were clean painters, and moved all the furniture to paint and then moved it back into place. They were so pleasant to have in my home and as much as I hated the ordeal, I honestly enjoyed them. The grand prize: Al did an outstanding paint...

Do not trust this company. Horrible. My brand new car was covered in pool plaster because they didn't move the machine to mix it and set it right next to my mustang in the drive way. Our furniture has spray deck all over it. And our patio has cement all over it

The young man showed up completely unprepared. He did a quick look around and asked what we were wanting done. Oddly enough, all he did was complain throughout the experience (he'll have to move furniture, etc.). He didn't even bring a pen or piece of paper with him and never quoted us a price....

The cleaning of my house was really just a superficial cleaning. They do not clean behind furniture (even the microwave) or dust in places higher than about 5 feet. They seem to merely wipe the shower floor and walls. The ladies go through the motions, cleaning the same places every time, with...
