| Restoration Prices |
| A following is an average price list of our restoration services and what some items cost to restore. Now each piece of furniture has its own problems to tackle. So these prices are to give you an idea what I charge but most customers after checking what other restoration shops. Plus I offer services most restoration shops don't offer. Like chair caning, rush seat replacement, tools to reproduction broken parts and even hand carving of parts like damage claw feet and other carved parts |

If the chair dowel pins <used to join must chairs> are broken and need drilled
out and new pins put in adds $5 to the standard cost of just gluing a chair.
Dining chair to strip, sand, stain (if wanted) and finish cost an average $40.00
if the chair is varnished to begin with. Painted chairs cost an average of 25%
more than varnished chairs. If the chairs need glued I usually charge an extra
