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>

Why is my wood blotchy after staining?

• <div><p>Wood can appear blotchy after staining due to uneven absorption, which happens when the wood has varying grain density. The denser the grain, the less the stain will be absorbed. This can cause the wood to appear uneven in color, with some areas darker than others. </p><p>To prevent this issue, apply a wood conditioner before staining. Wood conditioners help to equalize the absorption of the stain, resulting in a more even finish. There are many different types of wood conditioners available, so be sure to choose one that is appropriate for the type of wood you are staining.</p></div>

Q: Is furniture restoration worth it?

• <div><p>Not always&mdash;heavily worn or broken furniture often isn&rsquo;t worth repairing or refinishing (if it&rsquo;s even possible). While some damage can be repaired and some of the visual appeal restored, major flaws, such as structural issues, can&rsquo;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: 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>

Q: Should I even bother to ship my bedroom furniture?

• <div><p>Whether it is <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/should-i-ship-furniture-or-buy-new-when-moving.htm">worth it to ship your bedroom furniture</a> depends on your priorities, but it can be hard to decide. You should ship your bedroom furniture if the pieces have sentimental or antique value and if it will make you happy to have them in your new home. But if your mattress or box spring is worn out (the average lifespan of a bed is seven to ten years), it's probably not worth the money or effort to ship if you&rsquo;re moving somewhere where bedroom furniture is readily available. </p></div>

Q: Do repairs include refinishing?

• <div><p>Yes, many services include refinishing as part of the repair process. Confirm with your contractor.</p></div>

Vance and his crew were great! They came in and did a fantastic job. Our water heater flooded our floors. So we had to refloor the whole house. That’s a chore! Moving furniture and EVERYTHING!! The job was done fast and they cleaned up well. They were respectful and fun. I would recommend them...

I was not terribly pleased with their work. I didn't think they did a very good. When they're there, you can't see it because they just got to doing it so they're still damp to the touch. My furniture didn't look any better and I really anticipated it looking better. I took the upholstery...
