How much does it cost to refinish a dresser?

• <div><p>The cost to refinish a dresser ranges from <b>$300 to $2,000</b> on average, depending on the dresser’s size, material, and detail. If you need to repair the dresser before refinishing it, you can expect that service to cost extra. While it’s possible to restore and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/diy-tips-refinish-antique-furniture.htm">refinish antique furniture yourself</a>, we recommend hiring a professional furniture refinisher to maintain the integrity of vintage and heirloom pieces. That way, you have the peace of mind of knowing that your dresser will receive professional-grade restoration.</p></div>

Is furniture restoration worth it?

• <div><p>Not always—heavily worn or broken furniture often isn’t worth repairing or refinishing (if it’s even possible). While some damage can be repaired and some of the visual appeal restored, major flaws, such as structural issues, can’t be fixed as easily. If you still want a cost-saving furniture refinishing project rather than purchasing all new, consider shopping for similar secondhand pieces at thrift stores, garage sales, and estate sales.</p></div>

Q: What should you not use to clean antique wood?

• <div><p>Stay away from using window cleaners and other harsh cleaning solutions on antique wood&mdash;or any wood in your home for that matter. The pH of the cleaners can break down the finish and permanently damage and stain the wood below. 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>

Q: What removes dried paint from wood?

• <div><p>If you recently splashed paint on the wrong area of a wooden object, remove it with a solvent or caustic paint stripper. Some paint that has yet to dry may be removable by hand with coarse sandpaper or a plastic scraper. Another trick for removing dried-on paint is rubbing a dab of nail polish remover on the paint to remove it, but avoid touching the bare wood surface.</p></div>

Mike arrived right on time, asked questions to know where to give extra attention to cleaning. Did the cleaning thoroughly and afterwards gave detailed instructions on when to put furniture back. I have used this company before and like the way the carpet is dry fairly soon afterwards.

Came as scheduled, prompt, clean, polite. Inexperienced crew. Dinged baseboard in a newly painted room because they didn't pick up a piece of furniture correctly to get it out of the door. Instead of putting it down, they sifted their grip while holding the frame and let it wobble. First time...
