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>

Q: Is there a wood filler that looks like wood?

• <div><p>Yes, there are several wood filler products on the market that look like wood. Your best bet is to take a cabinet door to your local hardware store to match the appropriate wood filler to your door. Some brands make filler that is masked to look like wood and can also be sanded, cut, stained, and painted. </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>

Q: Are there environmental benefits to resurfacing instead of replacing surfaces?

• <div><p>Refinishing reduces landfill waste, minimizes resource extraction impacts, and uses fewer raw materials than new installations.</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>

Very pleasant workers, they stained my deck and screened porch. They moved all the furniture and cleaned everything before they stained it. It looks beautiful. I will definitely call them back for more projects.

Quite well. Mr. Anders was punctual, professional, and he got spots out of the carpets that I didn't think could be cleaned. He moved furniture, including a king bed. His equipment was surprisingly quiet while he was working. The carpets were dry enough to use in about 3 hours.

Great! Steve and his two helpers -- but mainly Steve -- spent three full workdays on it, and got it exactly right. We had the feeling that Steve appreciated the chance to showcase his skill. Abbey's price also was about a third lower than the other bidders. The tile, Armstrong's Alterna, has a...

"Very please with the project. We had Abe build two custom dressers. We wanted them to match the ones we already had. Karla and Abe came , listened to us, and the end product was excellent. They were very courteous, professional and finished the work on time. We were kept informed of the project status. The workmanship is flawless. We wanted a small stool built as an aside. It was made perfectly, exactly how we wanted, and they did not even charge us for it!! We will surely use they again. We very highly recommend them."
