We have the finest environmentally friendly overflow stripping system in the Midwest that will not damage fragile veneer or joints.We operate the finest furniture stripping and furniture finishing operation that we know of anywhere! To see gallery photos of Furniture Stripping results click here.

We operate a 14' wide double spray booth with proper dust control and exhaust air for operator safety and finishing results.

We are experts at stain color/darkness matching, blemish correction, and professionally sprayed fine acrylic lacquer.

We know how to do it and do it right, the first time! ... When you ask that an item be refinished you need to know about all the phases that the shop will or will not be performing. It may be as simple as what we refer to as "dip and slap" but it should be much more.
