How do I know if my wood furniture is worth refinishing?

• <div><p>Telling the difference between <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-wood-furniture.htm">high-quality wood furniture</a> and lower-quality pieces is challenging, but there are a few sign that indicate whether your furniture is worth repairing:</p><ul><li><p>Push your fingernail into an inconspicuous section of the wood. If it doesn’t leave a dent, it’s likely hardwood and is well worth a repair.</p></li><li><p>Unzip the bottom of couches to look for the structural components. If they’re made of wood rather than particle board, it’s likely worth refinishing.</p></li><li><p>Ask a local furniture repair technician. A reputable professional will let you know if you’re better off replacing rather than refinishing your specific item.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

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 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: When should you not use a wood filler?

• <div><p>If the scratch is large enough that it compromises the integrity of the wood, a wood filler probably won&rsquo;t be enough to fix the problem. In that case, you might need to sand and refinish the entire floor or replace a board. If you do use a filler, use one that&rsquo;s appropriate for the scratch. Water-based wood fillers work for small gaps or gouges, while epoxy has added strength to fill larger scratches and gaps.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain my bed frame?

• <div><p>Regularly check and tighten bolts, avoid overloading, and inspect for wear.</p></div>

Honest. Direct. Reasonable. It's rare you find a skilled contractor like Bob. In the middle of a rush on contractors in southern VT Bob was able to find a way to complete a refinishing and polishing job over 3 days that transformed a neglected oak hardwood floor to a shiny, water sealed finish....

We recently purchased a 60-year-old home, and the floors showed the years of wear. We reached out to Weles to have them refinish the floors. Wow! What a difference - the floors look almost new. Moreover Sasha, Alex and the entire team at Weles were professional and skilled - they offered...

They were able to accommodate the move on rather short notice. Also, I noticed they would carry a box or piece of furniture into the new place and run back to the truck for more. They were aware that they were on the clock and mindful of the fact that I was paying for time. Very respectful and...

On time and on budget. Very friendly. I had lots of boxes and furniture in my basement and the guys moved it to do the floor. I didn't have to lift a finger!

The quality of cleaning was good although a few times things were not done that I requested. After the first cleaning I discovered some bad scratching of the bamboo flooring in my bedroom. A piece of furniture had been moved that scratched the floor. I had warned the women who came to clean...

The movers did an excellent job, were very careful with my furniture, of which some pieces were fragile, arrived on time, loaded and unloaded quickly, and throughout the planning phase did a good job of communication. Excellent move!
