What is Furniture Detailing?

Furniture detailing is our comprehensive restoration service that addresses every aspect of your furniture's condition and appearance.

Unlike simple refinishing, detailing involves a systematic approach to assessing and addressing structural issues, surface preparation, cosmetic repairs, and professional finishing. This service is ideal for pieces that show signs of wear, minor damage, or have lost their original luster.

Our detailing process ensures that your furniture not only looks beautiful but also maintains its structural integrity for years to come. We preserve the character and history of your piece while restoring it to optimal condition.
