Can wood stain be removed without sanding?

• <div><p>Wood stain remover should remove most, if not all, of that wood stain on its own. While sanding can be a great final step, especially if you’re planning to paint or restrain the wood, it isn’t always required. Following the first three steps of this process can leave you with beautiful results. </p></div>

Q: Is it worth it to refinish furniture?

• <div><p>Yes, it can be worth it to refinish furniture, especially if it&rsquo;s a piece with sentimental value or an antique piece that&rsquo;s irreplaceable. If you have an older piece of furniture but want to upgrade its look or feel, refinishing is a great way to refresh it to enjoy for many years. When determining whether it&rsquo;s worth the cost to refinish a furniture item, calculate the price of buying a new, similar piece and compare that to quotes from local furniture refinishing services.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to repair or replace old furniture?

• <div><p>When deciding whether to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/consider-reupholstery-instead-new-furniture.htm">reupholster, repair, or replace old furniture</a>, consider its age, level of wear and tear, and overall value. It&rsquo;s usually better to repair old furniture because older pieces tend to be made out of hardwood, like oak and maple, whereas newer furniture is more often made out of plywood, medium-density fiberboard (MDF), and other less durable materials. When determining whether it&rsquo;s worth the price to repair a furniture item, calculate the price of buying a new, similar piece and compare that to quotes from local furniture repair services.</p></div>

Q: Do you need to remove the stain before refinishing?

• <div><p>Removing the original paint or stain before refinishing is a good idea, as it ensures the new finish bonds strongly to the wood. If you skip the stripping or sanding step, the new finish may peel or flake away from the railing easily. Using a wood stripper will completely remove the old stain or paint while sanding will help to prime the surface.</p></div>

Q: How do you know if you can refinish a table?

• <div><p>A good way to determine that a table is not worth refinishing is if it's painted. Often they are painted to cover up flaws with the wood you won't be able to fix. You want a good, solid wood table that just needs a facelift rather than a rickety wood table with a lot of problems. </p></div>

My parents really liked them and I was there during the move. My parents had scheduled them to move a very large mission-style desk with a hutch from a second story location to their new condo. They also moved other furniture that was not scheduled so they were very accommodating and careful.

Hydro clean was amazing from the start to finish! We called them a week ago to ask about pricing, and within a couple of days they came out to clean our carpets before we moved in. We used the Angie's List Big Deal (3 rooms carpet for $150) and paid for additional sq feet and a deodorizer spray....

"As an alternative to buyinig all new kitchen cabinets, we went to Daren and had him "refresh" all the doors and drawer fronts to fill in small chips in the veneer and just gereally clean everything and buff everything out with several coats of tinted wax--and saved over $20K. They turned out great and would strongly recommend considering this if you have old, good quality wood-finish cabinets that you'd like to keep. Plus, he worked overtime before leaving on vacation to make sure we could things put back together before we had the family over for Easter. -JS"
