Can I refinish my own furniture?

• <div><p>It is possible to refinish your own furniture, but it’s usually a good idea to leave the work to the professionals. Furniture refinishing often requires the use of paint stripper or solvents to remove existing finish, which can be dangerous to inhale. Additionally, it’s easy to make mistakes during the process that could permanently damage your piece, limiting its lifespan instead of extending it. Hiring a furniture refinishing professional is especially worthwhile for antique furniture, which often requires more delicate refinishing work.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint over already painted furniture?

• <div><p>Depending on the piece, there are times when you can paint over painted furniture. Start by applying a high-adhesion primer so that the new topcoat will stick. However, if the paint is peeling or chipping, it&rsquo;s best to sand it down, use a paint stripper, or try a deglosser to ensure your new paint will adhere.</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>

This is a horrible company, horrible service, do not use them, ever. I have been dealing with issues with our move for 8 months now. I still do NOT have resolution. They damaged so much of our furniture. Frank Weaver, the owner, does NOT stand behind his service, his damage claim process, nor...

Before being referred to Randy, I sat through a long dreadful sales pitch just to hear a totally discouraging price 2 hours later. I called Randy the next day & he sent me a quote within 5 minutes! He answered all my questions & didn’t make me feel pressured to use his services at all. His work...

Do not hire this company. They will lie to you about the price of their services, lie to you about the services they provide, and lie by omission when they fail to tell you important details such as "we don't unload your furniture into your new house unless you pay us first" (which means,...
