How do you prevent leather furniture from peeling?

• <div><p>Ongoing maintenance of your leather furniture is the only way to prevent it from peeling and cracking. Real leather will peel and crack as it dries out. Leather conditioners are a great way to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tips-protect-your-leather-furniture-years-come.htm">protect your leather furniture</a> from drying out, and you’ll need to apply it about twice each year. It’s also a good idea to keep abrasive materials away from your leather to prevent cracking and peeling, including belt buckles, shoes, and multi-surface cleaners, especially those that contain alcohol.</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>

Q: When should you not use a wood filler?

• <div><p>If the scratch is large enough that it compromises the integrity of the wood, a wood filler probably won&rsquo;t be enough to fix the problem. In that case, you might need to sand and refinish the entire floor or replace a board. If you do use a filler, use one that&rsquo;s appropriate for the scratch. Water-based wood fillers work for small gaps or gouges, while epoxy has added strength to fill larger scratches and gaps.</p></div>

Q: How do you refinish a table top without stripping it?

• <div><p>It is possible to refinish a table without stripping and sanding it by repairing small dents. You&rsquo;ll use a gel stain, and then put on a wipe-on finish. The downside is this won't result in as smooth and as deep of a finish as if you had stripped the table. Also, any blemishes on your table will remain. </p></div>

Q: What kind of wood should I use for a fireplace mantel?

• <div><p>You can use most types of wood for a fireplace mantel. You can use simple veneer plywood. If you prefer solid wood, pine is an affordable option that's easy to cut and finish. Walnut is harder, heavier, and highly durable with a rich dark brown color. Hickory offers a lighter color but is similarly durable. Cedar is ideal for a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/dated-fireplace-mantel-turns-rustic-modern.htm">rustic fireplace design.</a></p></div>

Very friendly, very careful and professional and handled our furniture very well. Moved things in the home that wasn't even part of the initial move. Would definitely recommend Collin and Kyler.

They do a quality job. What I don’t like is that they want you to sign a contract with them for long term maintenance. They will come and refinish your door without you being here. If you don’t respond to cancel it, they would send you a bill. The job they did was fine. They did a good job. They...
