Do you have to seal wood stain?

• <div><p>Applying a topcoat sealer is not required, but it will keep the stain from fading over time. This is particularly important if the stain imparts a color or varnish. If you’re <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-stain-wood.htm">staining exterior wood</a>, you should apply a sealant or finish to prevent weather-related issues down the line. Also, stained wood that lacks a seal won’t look as clean and fresh. A clear topcoat will give it the professional result you want. </p></div>

Q: How do you modernize an old-looking closet?

• <div><p>You can modernize an old-looking closet by just painting it, but beyond that, consider electric elements like recessed or accent lighting. If this is a large and deep closet, you can consider adding an island to the middle or a nice ottoman on a rug. Luxury closets will have even more items, like felt-lined drawers for watches and jewelry, in-wall safes, electronic shoe storage, or a tablet catalog of their items. </p></div>

Q: Is wood veneer actually wood?

• <div><p>Yes, wood veneer is wood. Instead of using large pieces of lumber, wood is sliced into thin sheets that are glued or laminated to larger pieces of wood. Wood veneer is both cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and versatile. It can be stained or have different finishes&mdash;varnish, lacquer, shellac, and more&mdash;based on your preferences.</p></div>

Q: What types of furniture repairs do professionals handle?

• <div><p>Pros cover many fixes, from upholstery renewals to joint reinforcement.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to refinish furniture?

• <div><p>For small, simple pieces that aren&rsquo;t antiques, a professional furniture refinisher can usually refinish a piece in <b>two to three hours</b>, while larger pieces&mdash;like bed frames and full dining sets&mdash;could take <b>several days</b>. Your refinishing professional should be able to give you an estimated timeline for the work before getting started so that you can plan to be without your furniture during the process. Antique furniture might require additional time and take a week or more to refinish, as they require special care to avoid damage.</p></div>
