Welcome

The cost can vary dramatically from piece to piece depending on size, simple designs vs. ornate, as well as condition of the piece and the materials it's made of. 

This too can vary dramatically depending on the piece and where your piece ends up in the cue of upcoming work. But generally, we try to run 5-6 weeks for most pieces from the time we pick it up until the time we deliver it. 

We require a 50% deposit when we pick up a piece with the balance due upon delivery. This can be negotiated on commercial work. 

Absolutely! We offer free pickup and delivery within our service area and can even deliver nationwide for a fee. We frequently deliver all over Minnesota and Western Wisconsin and have even delivered as far as New York City. 

We used to but we no longer do. We find the safety risks for our employees, the environment, and delicate furniture pieces is greater than the benefits offered by dipping. Instead, we use a combination of hand and power sanding to strip pieces. 

Yes! We frequently refinish pieces featuring veneer work. We can even patch or reglue bubbled and chipped veneer as needed. 

Our expert sanders can get the old finish out of the most detailed carvings. Using a variety of tools the old finish is removed with minimal to no discernable effect on carved details. In fact, we can often restore damaged carvings, and they tend to look a lot better cleaned up with a new finish.  

Yes, we carry a wide variety of fabric from our distributors. We have on hand a large number of books from Charlette Fabrics. This fabric is very high quality and carries a lifetime warranty. 

Yes, we welcome projects in which the customer supplies their own fabric. The only caveat we add to this is that it should be a high-quality upholstery fabric and, if you supply the fabric, we can't warranty the fabric itself, only the workmanship. 

We use a high-quality dense foam on all our projects unless requested differently. We generally replace the horsehair and burlap in older chairs with modern supplies that both hold up longer and give a more comfortable cushion. 

Yes, we always check the condition of both springs and their support structure and replace and repair as necessary. 

We use all species of wood and veneer. We also have access to a wide variety of hardware to personalize your piece to your exact specifications. 

We take great care to make sure we're on the same page before ever beginning a piece. From hand drawn plans to computer generated 3D images, we use a variety of means to be sure what you ask for is what you get. 

Yes, as a multifaceted shop, we are able to incorporate both woodworking and upholstery into your project as appropriately fits the piece. 

No, while we do refinish the outsides of the boxes and the face frames in your home, we take the doors and drawer fronts back to our shop to minimize dust and time spent in your home. 

We pride ourselves on a clean work environment. Using dust walls and vacuums we are able to keep dust contained and thoroughly clean up the dust we make. 

Yes, as a full-service shop we can make you a new piece that matches the rest of your cabinets as closely as possible.
