Services & Process

Refinishing services strip and renew wood surfaces, restoring faded, scratched, or peeling finishes to a clean, even appearance that can match the original look or take the piece in a new direction entirely. Reupholstery work covers fabric removal, foam and batting replacement, and re-covering with the customer's chosen material across chairs, sofas, ottomans, and other upholstered pieces. Furniture repair addresses the structural side, fixing broken joints, replacing damaged hardware, and reinforcing frames that have weakened over time. Together these services let a customer bring in a piece in rough condition and get it back in genuinely usable, attractive shape.

Service Area

Chris's Furniture Restoration serves Edgewater and the surrounding communities along the South River, including Riva, Annapolis, and Galesville. Clients from the Davidsonville area and the broader Anne Arundel County corridor also bring pieces in for work. The shop's location off Route 2 makes it convenient for customers traveling from multiple directions through the county.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you refinish a piece to a different color than the original?
Yes, refinishing opens up the option to go lighter, darker, or in a completely different direction from the original finish. Your refinisher can show you stain samples and discuss how the specific wood species will take different tones before you commit to a direction.
How do I prepare my furniture for drop-off at a restoration shop?
Remove cushions and any loose hardware before you bring the piece in, and take photos of any details you want preserved or matched. It's also helpful to note any repairs that have already been done so the shop has a full picture of the piece's history.
Is it possible to reupholster a piece without refinishing the wood frame?
Absolutely, these services don't have to be done together. If the frame is in good shape and the finish still looks right, you can update just the fabric and leave the wood as-is, which saves time and cost.
How do I choose between reupholstering and buying a replacement piece?
If the frame is solid and the piece holds sentimental or design value, reupholstery is usually the smarter investment. New furniture at a similar quality level to a well-built older piece often costs more than restoration, and you lose the character of the original.
What should I know about fabric durability for furniture near the water?
Moisture-resistant and mildew-resistant fabrics are worth considering if your home is close to the water or if the piece will spend time in a sunroom or screened porch. Solution-dyed acrylics and treated indoor-outdoor fabrics hold up particularly well in these conditions.
Do you offer estimates before starting work?
Yes, any reputable restoration shop will give you a written estimate before touching the piece. Make sure the estimate breaks down the cost by service so you understand what you're paying for and can make informed decisions about which work to prioritize.
