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 long can furniture sit in water before being ruined?

• <div><p>Wood furniture is usually vulnerable to water damage. However, larger furniture tends to have a high chance of being salvaged as long as it hasn&rsquo;t been standing in water for more than 24 hours. You can restore bedpoles, table and couch legs, and other wood parts that haven&rsquo;t been fully saturated. Meanwhile, smaller objects like decors or furniture with fabric wrapping may require full replacement.</p></div>

Q: Is it OK to wrap furniture in plastic for storage?

• <div><p>Yes, in most cases it&rsquo;s a good idea to wrap furniture in plastic to protect it from dirt, dust, and damage during storage. However, natural and porous materials such as wood or leather should have breathable fabric covers to prevent moisture damage from condensation. Either way, it&rsquo;s always important to ensure proper ventilation to prevent moisture buildup, especially in humid climates. </p></div>

Q: How long does it take to refinish a table?

• <div><p>It takes the average person four to eight days to refinish a table. This sounds long, but the work time is only two to 10 hours. If you have prior experience, each step, including dipping, stripping, sanding, staining, painting, and sealing, can take just 30 minutes to complete. The wait time between each step results in a longer total time. </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>

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.

Professional, punctual, friendly and FAST. I was a little wary going into it since last moving company we used (back in 2014, wish I could remember the name) were either hustlers or incompetent and I'm certain that they were dragging their feet in order to drive up the price of the job (ended up...
