Q: Do repairs include sealing and refinishing?

• <div><p>Yes, most professional repairs include resealing to prevent future damage and wear.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint over already painted furniture?

• <div><p>Depending on the piece, there are times when you can paint over painted furniture. Start by applying a high-adhesion primer so that the new topcoat will stick. However, if the paint is peeling or chipping, it&rsquo;s best to sand it down, use a paint stripper, or try a deglosser to ensure your new paint will adhere.</p></div>

Q: Does wood stain go bad?

• <div><p>Wood stain does go bad, but it will last in the can for between three and six years, provided you use proper storage techniques. Storing wood stain in open containers or in extremely low or high temperatures will cause your wood stain to become unusable much more quickly. Water- and latex-based wood stains typically last for just two to four years, while oil-based wood stains can last for three to six years. </p></div>

In general, the quality of this providers work was at least minimally acceptable. Some examples were rewarding and some downright disappointing. For those items requiring a remedial effort from this provider, he has, in my opinion, failed miserably. My odyssey with CFR is now in its'...
