Now that you've seen what we can do.....
Have that one piece you love that's been sitting around, and you can't figure out what to do with it? Or maybe you love an 'as-is' item that's in our store now, but you want it refinished or restored?
No problem! Let us do it for you! We have commonly been commissioned to refinish fine furniture owned by our customers. Now we extend that option to our general public customers here on ebay. You would entrust it to us and commission us to restore it in a fine wood tone finish of your choosing.
You may bring us your own piece, or you may pick out an item in our store inventory and tell us how you want it! We post our services here by hourly rate, all-inclusive of materials, so there is absolutely no hidden cost or "tacked-on" materials expenses. A variety of colors and finishes are available. To find a piece to have refinished in our store, simply browse our categories, or view the complete catelogue lists in the header bar of our store, where it says "COMING SOON catelogue 4 cutom order", until you find something that suites you, and follow the easy instructions below. We look forward to restoring a piece for you!

ABOUT OUR FINE FINISHING CRAFTSMANSHIP: We have many years of experience and are skilled craftsman with excellent attention to detail in the professional restoration and refinishing of fine furniture. We make every effort to produce finishes that are thorough and authentic to the items we restore in quality, texture, and color. **ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTE!** This is not do-it-yourselfer work, but rather a professional quality oil-based finish. Virtually any color is available, whether light, dark, or in between, for any wood- oak, walnut, mahogany, pine, cherry, etc. Finishes are smooth and durable with no brush marks, streaks, or drips. We apply multiple coats in a multiple step process involving one of a variety of materials which are typically chosen based on what's authentic to the piece and appropriate for its intended use, or by customer request. We cater texture to the desires of our customers as well- from satin to semi-gloss to high-gloss and varying degrees in between. We do not ruin wood by course-sanding old finishes during the removal process, like most of our competitors would do. Great care is taken in properly removing an old varnish or painted coat so as to retain the integrity of the wood and crispness of detail.
This listing is for a standard restoration project and does not include paint-stripping or cabinetry, carving, or veneer repairs, all of which can be provided at cost via liason with other local craftsmen. We specialize in difficult finishes that other dealers and restorers won't even touch, including extremely dark finishes, tinted finishes and gradated finishes, antique-oiled finishes, replacement parts, and color-match touch-ups, and are well-known for excellent quality craftsmanship. Our pieces have even been used in restaurants and bed&breakfasts around the country, and on a couple occasions in local history museums. Whether for home use or commercial, you have our guarantee of a professional and high-quality end product.
You may order just one for an accent piece, or multiple items enough to furnish your whole room or business! And please check our other offers in this category as other peices are available, both already finished as well as custom orders to your own specification.

Ready to get started? HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:
Instructions for placing a custom order:
Choose a piece from our inventory: by browsing through our normal store categories, or by clicking the following link in the header bar of our main store page, or any listing description, where it says "COMING SOON catelogue 4 cutom order". Our master catelogue has a full listing of all the different types of items we commonly offer up for custom restoration in either fine wood-tone or painted finishes. And on every item listing, it will say which ways the piece is available, either as-is as-shown, painted/restored, or refinished/restored. If the item you want is available for wood-tone restoration in either of these two places, e-mail us to send your request for the piece. Include your location, as well as your desired colors and/or effects, and we will reply to confirm availability and give you the go-ahead! Then you may submit your bid for the item. Almost any piece in our store is up for grabs! If you're unsure about anything, feel free to ask us first, and we'll be happy to talk you through the arrangements. Once we get your bids/purchases for the item and the work, we will send you a combined ebay-invoice. It's easy!
OR, let us restore something you already own: contact us via e-mail or telephone first, to notify us of your intentions. Please include a description of the item you want restored, your color/effects preferences, general size/dimensions, and your location. Complete pick-up, shipping, and delivery is available for most locations. Once you receive our reply with confirmation and approval, you may enter your purchase for the work to be done. We will then send your ebay invoice, and will contact you directly to begin making arrangements.
THE NITTY-GRITTY: This is a CUSTOM-order. YOU ARE ORDERING OUR SERVICES. The purchase of a service implies by nature your agreement to allow us to change or alter your property. Purchasing services also, by nature, implies that you agree to allow us the time appropriate for the completion of your work. While most of our custom jobs are completed fast, we reserve the right to use the full time period estimated or to alter the ETA on completion as necessary and appropriate for the project, as it may be difficult to tell how long some jobs will take until they are underway. We hope that our buyers recognize that although this may seem like a long time to wait, it is EXTREMELY FAST, compared to the 6-12-month time window typically required by other restoration specialists. IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO COOPERATE WITH US AND ALLOW US THE TIME WE NEED TO COMPLETE YOUR ORDER, THEN KINDLY TAKE YOUR BUSINESS ELSEWHERE. We are offering you lightning-speed specialty work that you will not find elsewhere. We offer it for pennies on the dollar compared to the few other firms willing to do this work, and as such we expect your full and complete cooperation. If time-frame is an issue for you, it is always best to e-mail your intentions prior to purchase to ensure your request can be filled in a timely manner, especially if you require other specialty effects, tinted finishes, veneer repairs, or restorations that require liason with other specialists, such as reupholstery. We cannot guarantee the time or speed of another person's work- ie, if you ask us to have others perform services on your piece, that time is not included in our work period. We offer liason services with other restorers and craftsman free of charge as part of any custom order, but this is seperate and independent of our own work period for your job. During the restoration process, we commonly and happily send our customers info, updates, and photos of work in progress, so you know your work is being done, and you know when it is being done. WE GET THINGS DONE IN LESS THAN 1/2 THE TIME OTHER REFINISHERS TAKE. This includes "lead time"- that is the time it takes us to complete other orders placed before yours, and to prepare the item and our work space for your work order. Our services are first-come-first-served, and we reserve the right to withhold services until those customers that came before you have been taken care of first. You may shave off lead time only by ordering "expedited" services, which allows us to hire extra help to get your order under way faster. We cannot guarantee all projects will be available as an expedited order, so it is important that you check with us first- do not assume. If you are interested in speeding up your order and making it an "expedited order", or in finding out what lead time to expect for your order and when it may begin, always ASK US AHEAD OF TIME. We will do our best to work with you. We encourage you to call around locally to see what other refinishers may quote you for work and lead time, and we are sure you will find the best of them asking you for upwards of a year. We will not ask you for that long, but we do ask you are patient and lend us your complete and whole-hearted, helpful cooperation. For more info, please read our aboutMe page and our complete terms and conditions of sale, or simply e-mail us to ask. Thanks for your interest!!
All custom orders should be approved by the seller over e-mail prior to purchase.
