When should you not use wood filler?

• <div><p>Avoid using wood filler for structural repairs or areas with extensive damage. Wood filler is designed for cosmetic fixes like filling small holes, cracks, or surface imperfections, and it doesn't provide the strength needed for load-bearing repairs or large gaps. You also shouldn’t use wood filler in areas exposed to heavy moisture or extreme outdoor conditions unless it’s a product specifically rated for such environments. Wood replacement or a strong epoxy resin is a better solution for severe rot or structural damage. </p></div>

Is it better to reupholster or replace furniture?

• <div><p>In most cases, it is more affordable to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/consider-reupholstery-instead-new-furniture.htm">reupholster furniture than it is to replace it</a>, but it depends on the quality and age of the furniture you’re considering getting reupholstered. Antique pieces are always worth reupholstering, as it’s the only way to preserve the piece and extend its life. Newer pieces of furniture are more often made using lower-quality materials like medium-density fiberboard or plywood that don’t have the same lifespan as things like hardwood. For newer pieces, your furniture reupholstery specialist should be able to help you determine the best course of action.</p></div>

Q: How is custom-made furniture professionally crafted?

• <div><p>Craftsmanship begins with detailed design followed by skilled artisans shaping high-quality materials into the desired furniture, ensuring durability and uniqueness.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth it to refinish furniture?

• <div><p>Yes, it can be worth it to refinish furniture, especially if it&rsquo;s a piece with sentimental value or an antique piece that&rsquo;s irreplaceable. If you have an older piece of furniture but want to upgrade its look or feel, refinishing is a great way to refresh it to enjoy for many years. When determining whether it&rsquo;s worth the cost to refinish a furniture item, calculate the price of buying a new, similar piece and compare that to quotes from local furniture refinishing services.</p></div>

Q: How do you know if you can refinish a table?

• <div><p>A good way to determine that a table is not worth refinishing is if it's painted. Often they are painted to cover up flaws with the wood you won't be able to fix. You want a good, solid wood table that just needs a facelift rather than a rickety wood table with a lot of problems. </p></div>

Diane was professional, courteous, and reliable to work with. She did an excellent job of refinishing my oak table and did everything from estimate to refinishing in a timely manner. She obviously knows her business of refinishing well and treated my table like a member of the family. I would...

Working with Mark was a great experience. He was considerate, thorough, experienced and very talented. He kept us updated the entire time. His work is impeccable. We are so happy with the final result and would enthusiastically recommend his work. We would also use his talents again.

I am very pleased with the results. The ancient rickety chair she restored is as solid as a rock now. My dining table leg was cracked through and now it is extremely sturdy. Both pieces ready to serve for many years to come. A small side table was repaired so it may be used again. Diane and I...

The projects above actually represent 3 separate "jobs". After she completed the 1st job (Woodard set), I was so impressed that my thoughts ran to other projects I'd put off. And so the table followed, and the chair, and I will shortly get started on a bed restoration she has already seen. ...
