Refinishing and Restoration can bring new life back to your furniture. It will save you money in most cases and make those time worn pieces new again. Why buy a new cheap piece of furniture when you can refinish a solid wood piece that you already have? The Painted Door can refinish or restore any solid wood pieces you have. We repair and touch-up as well. Have a piece that you want to match to something else? No problem! We can do it. Pick-up and delivery is available. Give us a call for an estimate today.
