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>

What else should I consider when I ship my bedroom furniture?

• <div><p>You should consider the time needed to clean and prepare your bedroom set for transit. A few days before moving, vacuum, dust, and clean your furniture with a mild cleaning solution. Depending on the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-services-you-didnt-know-movers-offer.htm">movers and the services</a> you pick, you might need to pre-pack the mattress and box spring in boxes designed for beds and disassemble some furniture by removing doors and hardware. Finally, don’t forget to take plenty of pictures documenting the pre-move condition in case you need to file a claim.</p></div>

How do I know if my wood furniture is worth refinishing?

• <div><p>Telling the difference between <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-wood-furniture.htm">high-quality wood furniture</a> and lower-quality pieces is challenging, but there are a few sign that indicate whether your furniture is worth repairing:</p><ul><li><p>Push your fingernail into an inconspicuous section of the wood. If it doesn’t leave a dent, it’s likely hardwood and is well worth a repair.</p></li><li><p>Unzip the bottom of couches to look for the structural components. If they’re made of wood rather than particle board, it’s likely worth refinishing.</p></li><li><p>Ask a local furniture repair technician. A reputable professional will let you know if you’re better off replacing rather than refinishing your specific item.</p></li></ul><p></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 it take to restore or refinish furniture?

• <div><p>Restoring furniture generally takes less time because the fixes involved are mostly surface-level cosmetic repairs. In most cases, a project like this will be completed in one to two days at most. By contrast, refinishing can take anywhere from several days to a couple of weeks because it requires sanding and treating damaged wood, adding a new stain, finish, or layer of paint, and drying time. </p></div>

I am very happy with Mr. Carpet. They gave me a punctual time as to when they would be here and they arrived on time. They had all their equipment ready and it was two men. They moved the furniture, which I was very pleased with because I have had my carpet cleaned before and they have not moved...
