Restoring antique furniture is a delicate process. When done well, antique furniture restoration makes your favorite pieces even more stunning. When done poorly, however, it can be a disaster and cause a piece’s value to plummet. Serving Cincinnati and Southeast Indiana for more than 37 years, Tri-County Furniture Restoration has the experience to restore your favorite antique pieces to their full beauty.

The best antique furniture restoration jobs use the least invasive methods possible, preserving the original piece while reducing damages that occur naturally over time. In some cases, a simple coat of stain is enough to refresh an aged piece. If the old finish doesn’t need to come off, a good cleaning followed by fresh varnish will work wonders. Avoiding taking off the old finish also prevents any chance of removing patina from an antique, which can greatly diminish its value. If you’re not sure, don’t take any chances. Consult the professionals at Tri-County Furniture Restoration to see if a stain may be enough.

However, it may take more than a fresh stain to restore your furniture effectively. Refinishing involves repairing or applying new wood finish on a piece, usually by removing the old finish first. Improperly done, refinishing can reduce the overall value of an antique. True antique furniture restoration professionals, like the experts at Tri-County Furniture Restoration, know how to refinish a piece without diminishing its value.

Furniture stripping is the most invasive method used to restore furniture. Applying chemicals to completely remove paint, stain, and finish is a delicate job. To be sure you don’t unnecessarily damage a valuable piece, leave a furniture stripping project to an experienced professional. They’ll be able to decide whether stripping is absolutely necessary and, if it is, complete the project without catastrophe.

When it comes to your antiques, you want an expert at your side. The professionals at Tri-County Furniture Restoration will help you determine the best method for your antique furniture restoration. With years of experience to draw from, they’ll restore your pieces to their full beauty without diminishing their value.
