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: How do you make antique wood furniture look like new?

• <div><p>In some cases, a simple clean, polish, and wax can make antique wood furniture look brand-new. However, always be sure to check the type and state of the current finish. Some furniture will require professional care, a new coat of finish, or even a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-stain-wood.htm">new layer of stain</a> to look like new.</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: Can pros change the stain color during refinishing?

• <div><p>Yes, professionals can change the stain color during refinishing by stripping old finishes and applying new stain. They offer expert color matching and application methods, resulting in a refreshed look that aligns with the homeowner's design preferences.</p></div>

Q: How do you modernize an old-looking closet?

• <div><p>You can modernize an old-looking closet by just painting it, but beyond that, consider electric elements like recessed or accent lighting. If this is a large and deep closet, you can consider adding an island to the middle or a nice ottoman on a rug. Luxury closets will have even more items, like felt-lined drawers for watches and jewelry, in-wall safes, electronic shoe storage, or a tablet catalog of their items. </p></div>

OCS was done efficiently and protected our surrounding areas like trim, floors, fixtures, etc. Would definitely use them again for projects. The communication was also good. They also cleaned up very well. Even helped move a couple pieces of furniture.
