Wood Furniture Restoration, DelRay Beach: When to Hire a Professional
Basic wood furniture restoration isn’t complicated, and may be something you can do yourself. The most important part is making sure you have all the right tools, and understand everything involved with the project you have in mind.
Fixing loose screws on a table or chair is pretty straightforward—requiring minimal time, tools, and know-how. However, for more complex repairs, it may be necessary to hire a professional.
When dealing with antique furniture, the DIY option could be disastrous if you don’t know what you are doing. Why risk further damage to the piece, and a potential reduction in value, when you can hire an experienced and affordable expert like Barry Lewis, owner of LE Furniture Repair and he will come right to your Delray Beach Area home? (He also comes to West Palm Beach, Boynton Beach, & Boca Raton)
Humidity is the Mortal Enemy of Wooden Furniture
Florida’s hot & humid climate is the mortal enemy of wood furniture. When it comes to restoring water-damaged tables, chairs, bed frames, or anything else – much refinishing experience is needed to get it right.
If you aren’t sure you’re up for a DIY refinishing job, consider calling for a consultation. Barry will let you know what the restoration entails, and then you can decide for yourself.
While it may seem like a good idea to paint a one-hundred-year-old bed frame to hide imperfections in the wood, Barry would tell you that painting reduces its value to almost nothing.
Why Hire a Local Delray Beach Area Professional for Onsite Furniture Restoration
While it might cost more than doing it yourself, hiring him could net you hundreds or even thousands if you ever decide to sell it.
When it comes to using LE Furniture Repair’s wood furniture restoration services in Delray Beach and the surrounding areas, there are so many advantages. All the work is done in your Delray Beach or West Palm Beach home, so you can monitor the process from start to finish. You also reap the benefit of Barry’s extensive wood furniture restoration experience. So before you DIY, call LE Furniture Repair for an estimate.
