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>

Q: How long does wood stain last?

• <div><p>Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it&rsquo;s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.</p></div>

Q: How long can furniture sit in water before being ruined?

• <div><p>Wood furniture is usually vulnerable to water damage. However, larger furniture tends to have a high chance of being salvaged as long as it hasn&rsquo;t been standing in water for more than 24 hours. You can restore bedpoles, table and couch legs, and other wood parts that haven&rsquo;t been fully saturated. Meanwhile, smaller objects like decors or furniture with fabric wrapping may require full replacement.</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: Do repairs include refinishing?

• <div><p>Yes, many services include refinishing as part of the repair process. Confirm with your contractor.</p></div>

"The attention to detail we got from the Reverie crew is what impressed us. They didn’t rush through the tasks that were asked of them (interior/exterior paint, landscaping, hauling off, trim, wall patching.) They actually cared about the quality of the work they turned out, and they didn’t leave a big mess behind for us to clean up after. We’ve actually had that very frustrating experience with contractors in the past. We will definitely be keeping Reverie Woodworks in mind for our family’s future projects."
