Why Choose Colonial Restoration Studio?

For over four decades, our family-owned business has been dedicated to preserving the beauty and integrity of fine furniture through meticulous restoration techniques that stand the test of time.

Longevity That Speaks For Itself

Our restorations last 10-15 years, while competitors' work typically needs redoing after just 2-3 years.

Professional-Grade Materials

We use exclusive, licensed professional materials that aren't available to hobbyists or DIY restorers.

Traditional Hand Techniques

We never use electric sanders that can burn through wood. Our hand techniques preserve the integrity of your furniture.

Family Legacy of Excellence

Our 40+ years as a family-owned business means we have a personal stake in every restoration we complete.

"Do It Right Once" Philosophy

We take pride in our work and want your furniture to last for generations, not just a few years.

Our Meticulous Restoration Process

We follow a careful, time-tested approach that preserves the integrity and character of your furniture while ensuring lasting results.

1. Assessment & Consultation

We carefully examine your piece, discuss your goals, and create a detailed restoration plan tailored to your furniture's specific needs.

Our Approach:

Thorough examination of structure, materials, and damage

2. Careful Disassembly & Cleaning

We meticulously document and disassemble when necessary, then clean using gentle, appropriate methods for each material type.

Common Shortcuts:

Using harsh chemicals that damage original finishes

3. Repair & Restoration

We repair structural issues, replace missing elements, and restore the original beauty using traditional hand techniques and professional materials.

Our Approach:

Hand sanding to preserve wood integrity, never electric sanders

4. Finishing & Protection

We apply professional-grade finishes that enhance the beauty of your piece while providing long-lasting protection for years to come.

Common Shortcuts:

Using retail-grade finishes that yellow and crack within 2-3 years

What Our Clients Say

Don't just take our word for it. Hear from our satisfied clients who have trusted us with their treasured pieces.

"I inherited my grandmother's dining set that had seen better days. Colonial Restoration brought it back to life in a way I never thought possible. The table and chairs look better than they did when my grandmother first bought them 60 years ago!"

Eleanor Richardson

Homeowner

"As the owner of a fine dining restaurant, our booth seating takes a beating. Colonial Restoration has been maintaining our leather booths for over 10 years. Their work is impeccable, and their restorations last far longer than any other company we've used."

Michael Thornton

Restaurant Owner

"Our moving company has partnered with Colonial Restoration for over 15 years. When accidents happen during a move, they're our go-to experts for furniture repair. Their work is so good that customers often can't tell the piece was ever damaged."

Jennifer Blackwell

Moving Company Manager
