The craft of furniture refinishing is highly susceptible to problems related to environment: heat, humidity, dust. When you bring your furniture to Old Virginia Woodworking it will be finished in a carefully controlled environment. The finish room here is controlled for heating, cooling, humidity reduction, and filtered-air dust control to assure excellent finish quality every time. We are not just some guys slapping finishes on in the garage. Our clients often bring us pieces that are meaningful to them, and we treat them with the care they deserve.

The human eye can detect at least eighty levels of sheen (how shiny or how dull a finish appears).  Every furniture piece arrives with a different level of sheen on the surface. We have, in stock, specialty spray finishes that make it easier to match original sheen. After applying the closest match available the finish is hand-rubbed to either raise or lower the sheen to perfectly match the original finish. Even the high gloss on an expensive piano can be repaired and matched to your satisfaction.

In some cases it is preferable to do repairs on-site. For furniture that is large or difficult to move, built-in cabinetry or woodwork, or other unique situations, we may be able to come to you to complete the work. We are happy to talk to you about possible on-site work. Please contact us for further information.

Besides many years of experience with woodworking, Don Schanzenbach, has completed professional training with the Mohawk Company for wood finish repairs as proven by this photo of his fancy certificate. That is a good thing but besides that we have direct access to professional company representatives who have endless quantities of superlative advice for any wood finishing needs. Those benefits all redound to you guaranteeing a beautiful completion to any project you bring in.
