Furniture refinishing starts with the material and existing finish. Solid wood, veneer and composite furniture do not respond the same way to sanding, stain or paint.
NY-GoodHome accepts furniture painting and staining requests in Brooklyn and New York City. Call (223) 226-1828 with full-item photos and close views of the current finish.
Paint or Stain?
Paint creates an opaque finish and can work on suitably prepared surfaces. Stain relies on the appearance and absorbency of the underlying wood, so it cannot always be used over an unknown or non-wood surface.
Existing Finish and Preparation
Old paint, varnish or damaged coating can require cleaning, sanding or stripping before a new finish is applied. The preparation should be selected from the actual condition.
Repair Before Refinishing
Loose joints, broken hardware or damaged furniture components should be repaired before finishing. Use Furniture Repair when the physical damage is the main problem.
Restoration Boundary
Fine antiques, complex veneer repair, upholstery and conservation-grade restoration are specialty services and are not claimed here.
For Interior Painting as part of the same project, share that requirement up front so the work can be coordinated.
