Furniture Refinishing

Homebridge uses a detailed 23-step process to refinish your furniture. The process begins with carefully stripping the paint and finish, then sanding and repairing the furniture. Furniture is stained, sealed, and lacquered, with a gentle sanding occurring between each step. A final coat and buffing complete the process.

Furniture Stripping

Stripping paint and finish off furniture is the first step in the refinishing process. Homebridge uses an overflow system to gently strip the finishing, enabling us to get into every nook and cranny without needing to dip the furniture in a vat.

Stain, Paint, and Lacquer

Choose from a wide array of finishes and paint options to make your furniture look brand new. A professional spray booth provides a controlled environment free of dust and outside elements for painting, staining and lacquering furniture. This allows us to provide you with the highest quality finish.

Antique Furniture Restoration

Homebridge carefully and extensively restores antique furniture, including armoires, dressers, dining tables, bedroom furniture, grand pianos, desks, and more. Our experts meticulously restore these family heirlooms, remaking veneers, repairing trims, rebuilding drawers, replacing damaged or missing parts.

We also restore many unique items, such as antique toys and musical instruments, including harps, banjos, and guitars.
