Expert Repair.
As
ReCrafters
we offer expert
furniture repair to our local customers in the Clemson and Seneca, South
Carolina area. We have been professionally trained in
furniture repair by the country's largest maker and supplier of wood finishes
and have over twelve years of professional repair experience. We have performed work on
furniture pieces made by Kindel, Baker, Bernhardt and Stickley to name a few;
pieces worth over $20,000 new as well as heirloom pieces from the 18th century.
We use modern materials and repair techniques to provide the very best in
furniture restoration and repair.
We specialize in cosmetic repair and color
matching of wood furniture. We repair things like dents, dings, chips, burns,
water rings, water damage and pet damage to name a few. We are experts in color
matching and can mix our very own custom stains. This enables refinishing of
portions of a piece of furniture like a table top or dresser top which typically
receive greater wear and damage rather than the entire piece of furniture. This
usually saves time and money.
