All Types of Quality Furniture Repaired

Most modern, moderately priced cabinets, credenzas, desks, and dressers are typically made of composite materials and cheaply constructed with simple staple and glue butt joints, drawers supported on plastic or metal gliders, stapled mitered joints in corners and doors, and dressed with a veneer or laminate surface. Quite honestly, while damage to this type of furniture may be repairable, the cost of repairs is usually not justifiable. In stark contrast, antique and vintage pieces were meticulously handcrafted, with solid hardwoods, tight-fitting joinery techniques (such as classic through dovetail, biscuit, mortise & tenon and tongue & groove joints), and finished off with hand applied sealers, stains, varnishes, and lacquers. When we repair and restore these beautiful pieces we use the same time-honored techniques that were used by the original builder.

Preserving Your Furniture’s Value

We take great pride in our ability to return the form, function and value to your damaged antique, vintage, mid-century modern, and fine modern furniture. We invite you to contact us for a repair and restoration estimate for your furniture including:

  • Antique ― From prized Georgian and Victorian furniture to turn-of-the-century Hoosier cabinets, we can return your damaged antique pieces to their former beauty and value.
  • Vintage and Mid Century Modern ― Our team can restore your damaged Eames chair, Finn Juhl upholstered teak sofa, Widdicomb walnut table, or any prized furniture piece from this era. And yes, we’re name dropping. But we want you to know we understand the historical significance of designer pieces like these and how important the quality of their repair and restoration is to you.
  • Fine Contemporary Furniture ― Unlike antique and mid-century furniture, the value of modern designer furniture is based solely on your investment rather than its rarity. But, when this furniture is maliciously damaged the pain and financial loss can be just as traumatic. Our craftsmen and upholsterers can restore your fine furniture to its new, showroom quality and beauty.

Repairs Done Right by Skilled Craftsmen

Many antique furniture pieces are one-offs that were custom handmade, and much of the vintage mid-century furniture was very well-designed and built in limited production runs. This fine old furniture is rare, which makes it highly valuable and usually irreplaceable. When wood, upholstery and hardware damage occurs, our top-of-the-line quality repair and restoration is called for. Here at Rahn’s Furniture Refinishing, we believe that your furniture deserves the very best after-damage repair to bring it back to its former condition by restoring the design and quality built into it by the original manufacturer.

Our team consists of highly trained, local craftsmen uniquely skilled in the art of furniture repair and restoration. Much of the antique and vintage furniture that we bring back to life requires very skilled, time-honored techniques and specialized tools that may not be known and used by less skilled franchise and mobile restoration technicians.

The repair of your valuable furniture should only be entrusted to craftsmen who can truly and skillfully return the piece to its former beauty, form and function.
