Common questions
How much does furniture refinishing cost?
Most single pieces fall between $275 and $1,400. A dining chair is typically $150 to $275, a dresser $550 to $1,400 and a dining table $650 to $1,400. Structural repairs on their own start around $150. We give a range from photographs and a firm price after inspection.
Is it worth refinishing my furniture or should I just buy new?
If the piece is solid wood, the answer is almost always yes — solid wood furniture of the quality made forty or a hundred years ago costs several thousand dollars to buy new today. If it is particle board with a photographic laminate, we will tell you it is not worth it. We would rather say so than take the job.
Do you pick up and deliver?
Yes, across Morris County and much of northern New Jersey. Typically $50 to $150 each way depending on distance and size. You are also welcome to drop pieces at the shop in Dover.
How long does it take?
Small repairs a few days. A full refinish on a single piece is usually two to four weeks — most of that is curing time between coats, which cannot be rushed without the finish paying for it later.
