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>

What else should I consider when I ship my bedroom furniture?

• <div><p>You should consider the time needed to clean and prepare your bedroom set for transit. A few days before moving, vacuum, dust, and clean your furniture with a mild cleaning solution. Depending on the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-services-you-didnt-know-movers-offer.htm">movers and the services</a> you pick, you might need to pre-pack the mattress and box spring in boxes designed for beds and disassemble some furniture by removing doors and hardware. Finally, don’t forget to take plenty of pictures documenting the pre-move condition in case you need to file a claim.</p></div>

Q: How can I make my dining room look more expensive?

• <div><p>You can make your dining room look more expensive using one or more of several methods. If you're remodeling, you can consider raising the ceiling height, installing an elegant chandelier, or redoing the floor. For smaller renovations, consider changing the paint color to a deep and rich tone, such as burgundy or emerald. You can also swap out the table and chairs to achieve a richer appearance. </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>

Q: Can I refinish over top of refinishing oil?

• <div><p>No. Once you apply refinishing oil, it will continue to seep into the wood, making it difficult or impossible to refinish over top of it. Since the product contains an oil that&rsquo;s meant to penetrate existing finishes, almost anything you put on top of it will bring the previous layer of stain with it. If you plan to refinish your cabinets more than once, it&rsquo;s a good idea to go with the traditional method of sanding before applying a new finish to the surface.</p></div>

Tony, Alex, and Big B were great! From start to finish, the movers were amazing. They showed up early, worked efficiently, and treated everything with great care. Nothing was damaged, and they even helped with furniture placement. Their professionalism and friendly attitude made moving day easy....

It was great working with Dave. I requested a custom cutting board for a Fatherâ s Day gift along with a primitive wooden star. Love the quality of the work! I would use Dave again in the future (possibly thinking about building a pantry and resurfacing some old furniture).

He did a good job. The furniture was cleaned, and he was easy enough to have in the house. It was all in one room, so it wasn't very invasive. We did notice a strange chemical smell in our basement that night. We think it was the reaction of the cleaning chemicals with our gas pilots. It...
