Wood Restoration

We restore doors, kitchen cabinets, furniture, and windows. After an inspection, we determine what can be preserved, what needs repair, and whether the finish should be fully renewed.

Wood items we restore

Restoration examples on a wood table, kitchen cabinets, window, fireplace panel, dresser, and staircase

Wood doors

What We Do
We clean the surface, remove loose finish, repair minor defects, and renew the finish.
Result
We can preserve the wood grain or paint the door a solid color.

Important: Doors with severe rot, warping, or failed joints require a separate repair assessment first.

Kitchen cabinet fronts

What We Do
We remove grease, repair minor damage, and renew the color or clear finish.
Result
Updated cabinet fronts without replacing the entire kitchen.

Important: Swollen MDF, peeling laminate, and badly damaged veneer may need replacement or separate repair.

Tables, dressers, and cabinets

What We Do
We clean the surface, reduce the appearance of scratches and stains, and reinforce accessible loose joints.
Result
A smooth renewed surface and a cleaner overall appearance.

Important: Deeply absorbed stains may remain visible or require a change in color.

Wood windows

What We Do
We remove peeling paint, repair damaged areas, renew joints, and apply a protective finish.
Result
The goal is to restore smooth operation and protect the wood from moisture.

Important: The source of moisture must be corrected first. Severely damaged areas are repaired with wood patches rather than hidden with paint.

Staircases and railings

What We Do
We remove the old finish, repair damaged areas, even out the color, and apply a new finish.
Result
An even appearance and a durable finish for steps and handrails.

Important: A staircase that squeaks, sags, or feels loose requires a separate structural repair assessment first.

Panels, trim, and built-ins

What We Do
We clean detailed areas, repair small chips, and match the color and sheen.
Result
The shape and detail are preserved while the color coordinates with the interior.

Important: Old paint may contain hazardous materials, so we choose a removal method after testing.

Whenever possible, we preserve the aged character and original finish. We test the selected method in an inconspicuous area before beginning the main work.

Project Example

The photo shows the project after the old finish was removed.

Removing old clear finish from a wood staircase

Old finish removal from a wood staircase

We removed the old clear finish from the wood staircase parts and prepared the surface for the next stage.

  • Old finish removed from the handrail, steps, and staircase stringer
  • Wood surface prepared for the next treatment
  • White turned balusters left unchanged
No new finish had been applied at this stage. The next treatment and color are selected separately.

Why Choose This Service

Only the work that is needed

If the existing finish is in good condition, we can repair only the damaged areas. A complete refinish is not always necessary.

Methods matched to the material

Solid wood, veneer, MDF, and antique pieces each require different methods to avoid surface damage.

We test a small area first

A small test area lets us check color, sheen, and how well the selected finish bonds.

What to Consider

Before work begins, we check the material, the old coating, and any nearby surfaces that need protection.

  1. Heavy sanding can damage thin veneer, carving, wood inlay, and antique finishes.

  2. Severe warping, rot, failed joints, and missing parts may require separate carpentry repairs.

  3. Completely removing the original finish from an antique door or piece of furniture may reduce its value.

  4. Swollen MDF, deteriorated particleboard, and badly separated veneer may be better replaced.

  5. Old finishes require caution because their composition cannot be identified reliably from photos alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the old finish always need to be removed completely?

No. If the existing finish is in good condition and worth preserving, we can clean and repair only the damaged areas.

Can you change the wood color?

Yes, but the result depends on the wood species, existing finish, and stains. Solid-color paint hides repairs better, while transparent stains must be tested on a small area first.

Do you make structural repairs?

Yes, when the repair can be completed safely on site. Severe rot, warping, and failed joints require a separate assessment.

Can you estimate the work from photos?

Yes. Send us an overall photo, a close-up of the damage, and approximate dimensions on WhatsApp. We confirm the final price after an on-site inspection.

Do I need to transport the item?

No. We are a mobile service. We come to your property, inspect the item on site, and protect nearby floors, walls, and belongings before work begins.
