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: How much does professional refinishing cost?

• <div><p>If you have decided that hiring a professional to refinish your floors will be faster and more satisfactory, you can expect to pay between $1,000 and $2,500. To get a better idea of what your hardwood refinishing project will cost with a professional, multiply the project&rsquo;s square footage by the average price of $4 per square foot.</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: Can I use expanding foam to fill rotten wood?

• <div><p>Yes, you can fill rotten wood with expanding foam. You may prefer using an expanding foam treatment instead of wood filler since the latter can take a long time to dry. It may also provide an easier solution when you&rsquo;re dealing with smaller gaps. If you use expanding foam, allow it to cure for about 24 hours before you sand and prime it.</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 able to work me in between jobs, and did mine very quickly. Their recommendations included a special, extra durable final finish (they use only Bona products) with next to no sheen. I have dogs and cats, so this would stand up well from scratching and would last a long time. They...

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...
