Services & Process

Furniture repair addresses structural problems like broken joints, cracked frames, loose legs, and damaged supports that make a piece unsafe or uncomfortable to use. Refinishing services involve stripping the existing stain or paint, sanding the surface, and applying a new finish that matches the customer's vision, whether that's restoring the original wood tone or updating to something modern. Reupholstery work covers everything from selecting and sourcing fabric to removing the old material and applying new padding and covering. Having all three services under one roof means a damaged antique doesn't need to visit multiple shops.

Service Area

Chris's Furniture Restoration serves Edgewater and the surrounding South River area, including customers from Annapolis, Riva, and Davidsonville. The shop's central location in Anne Arundel County makes it accessible to a wide range of clients across the region. Many customers from the waterfront communities along the South River and Rhode River also bring their pieces in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you repair and refinish a piece at the same time?
Yes, and it actually makes sense to do both together since repairs need to happen before the refinishing stage. Combining the work saves you from dropping a piece off twice and ensures the final finish looks consistent across the entire surface.
How do I know if my furniture is worth repairing or should be replaced?
If the frame is solid wood and the piece has sentimental or antique value, repair is almost always worth it. A shop like this can give you an honest estimate so you can compare the cost of restoration against buying something comparable new.
What wood finishes are popular for furniture in the Edgewater area?
Natural oil finishes and water-based polyurethanes are popular because they hold up well in humid coastal environments without yellowing over time. Your refinisher can recommend a finish based on the wood species and how the piece is used day to day.
Do you work on antique furniture, or just modern pieces?
Shops that offer full repair, refinishing, and reupholstery services regularly handle antiques alongside modern furniture. It's worth mentioning upfront if a piece is antique so the shop can match original construction methods and materials where possible.
How much does furniture refinishing typically cost in the Edgewater area?
Pricing depends heavily on the size of the piece, the condition of the existing finish, and the type of new finish requested. Small tables might run a few hundred dollars while large dining sets or complex antiques can cost more, so getting an in-person estimate is the most reliable approach.
Can humidity from living near the water damage my refinished furniture?
Waterfront environments can cause wood to expand, contract, and potentially crack finishes over time. A good refinisher will account for this and recommend a finish that's flexible enough to handle the humidity levels common in the Edgewater and South River area.
