Q: Does vinegar remove wood stain?

Q: How long does wood filler take to dry?

• <div><p>It can take as little as 30 to 60 minutes for wood filler to dry, but some products take up to four hours. Always read labels to ensure you're following the manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions. Water-based wood fillers typically take longer to dry than oil-based or epoxy-wood fillers, especially when applied to large areas or deep cracks. Wood putty won&rsquo;t dry completely, remaining slightly pliable.</p></div>

Q: What maintenance do experts recommend post-refinishing?

• <div><p>Use rugs in high-traffic areas, immediately clean up spills, and do regular dust mopping.</p></div>

Q: What causes wood furniture to bubble up?

• <div><p>When water penetrates wood, the wood swells, causing the wood and veneer to separate. This separation creates bubbles on the surface of your furniture. If water spills on wood veneer, it needs to be dried ASAP. Surface spills can cause minor damages like white spots and blushing, but if you&rsquo;re slow to action, you&rsquo;re looking at more work&mdash;and spending&mdash;to restore your wood veneer.</p></div>

Q: Can you reverse water damage to a wood table?

• <div><p>Minor water damage on wood tables can be reversed fairly easily. You can remove stains and light surface damage with a sandblock, then repaint and re-varnish the wood surface. For swollen and rotten wood, you can cut away the damaged parts and use a wood filler as long as the affected area isn&rsquo;t too much.</p></div>

A 4 man team arrived and within one hour had the rest of the POD packed and had moved 2 large pieces of furniture down to the garage to make it easier for us to get them removed from house later. The team was polite and worked nonstop the entire time they were here. We would use them again. ...

They did a wonderful job. You cannot tell that there was an existing floor and a newer floor. They refinished the old floor to make it identical to the new wood. I can't tell you how happy I am with the work and service. They did everything on schedule and as described to me beforehand. ...
