Q: Can you use wood filler to repair veneer?

• <div><p>Wood filler can be used to repair minor scratches, dents, and damages on wood veneer. Simply scrape the wood filler over the chipped or scratched area. Make sure to leave a little bit more than you need so you can sand it down for a smoother finish. Repaint or restrain the surface to ensure a consistent color.</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>

Even when it comes to more durable areas, such as when <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-your-baseboards.htm">cleaning your baseboards</a>, only use cleaning solutions that are safe for porous materials. </p></div>

Juan did an excellent job refinishing my wooden floors in my 1932 Colonial home. The job was completed in 5 days. I will 100% be using Juan and his services again on all my flooring projects. His fair prices are the best in town.

They were very responsive in scheduling me quickly to get the rooms painted before I moved in; I did not think it needed painting until the other people moved their furniture out, and then saw that it did. The paint job was beautiful, the clean-up not great--there was a lot of paint dust left...
