Why This Matters
Some furniture is more than furniture.
That table has heard more family prayers than most church pews. It's been soaked in birthday-candle wax and baptized in spilled sweet tea. Homework was spread across it. Hard conversations happened around it. Somebody carved their initials under the edge when they were eight, and nobody ever sanded them out.
That kind of furniture is more than wood grain. It's where your family became your family.
A dresser might have followed you through three houses. A chair might still remind you of someone you love. And that dining table, the one everybody says is "too far gone," probably has more life left in it than the one at the furniture store.
Old does not always mean done. Sometimes it just needs to be refinished.
At It Is ReFinished, I look for what is still good, repair what needs attention, and bring each piece back with patience and care. Not every old piece is worth restoring, but many are. And when the piece matters to you, it matters to me.
What I Do
Focused furniture refinishing & repair.
I work on wood furniture that still has life left in it.
Most of my projects are dining tables, chairs, dressers, buffets, sideboards, desks, and meaningful family pieces. Some need a full refinish. Some need repair work first. Some simply need a better finish that fits the home they are in now.
Every project starts with photos, a few details, and an honest look at what the piece needs.
01
Refinishing
Stripped to bare wood. Sanded until it's silk. Stained and sealed in the color and sheen you choose. The full bring-back for tables, dressers, and buffets that earned a second life.
02
Repair
Loose joints. Wobbly chairs. Broken legs. A top that's letting go. Made solid again, so the piece is safe to use and built to hold up for years.
Many refinishing projects include repair work along the way: loose joints, dents, chips, or hardware that needs attention. If your piece mainly needs repair, you can still send it through the form. I'll take a look and let you know if it is a good fit for the shop.
The Process
How it works.
Send a few clear photos through the project form and tell me what you are hoping for.
I'll review the piece, look at the condition, consider the size and scope, and send an honest estimate within 3 business days.
If the project feels like a good fit, a deposit reserves your place in the shop schedule. From there, I coordinate drop-off or pickup, complete the work, and keep you updated as your piece moves through the process.
Simple, clear, and personal from the first step.
