Fort Collins restoration studio Wood repair

Wood furniture repair,
made to belong again.

Thoughtful structural, surface and finish repair for antiques, heirlooms and everyday furniture worth keeping.

Almost every well-made wood piece can be saved.

We begin with the damage, the construction and the original finish—then recommend only the work the piece actually needs.

Loose & broken joinery

Wobbly chairs, separated joints, broken legs, rungs, arms and frames.

02

Scratches, dents & burns

Localized surface repair and color matching for everyday damage.

03

Split tops & cracked panels

Careful stabilization and structural repair for failed wood components.

04

Veneer & water damage

Lifted veneer, water rings, stains, swelling and delamination.

05

Missing parts & hardware

Custom fabrication of trim, wood elements and hard-to-find components.

Moving & impact damage

Craftsmanship that respects the original piece.

01

Repair before replacement

We preserve usable material and original character whenever the piece allows it.

02

Structure before surface

Joinery and stability are resolved before color and finish make the repair disappear.

03

Work matched to the piece

Traditional and modern techniques are selected for the furniture—not forced into one process.

Completed in our Fort Collins restoration studio at 113 Hickory Street, serving Northern Colorado and the Denver metro area.

Before your piece comes into the studio.

How much does wood furniture repair cost?

Every estimate is based on the piece, the damage and the finish work required. Send clear photos and approximate dimensions for a custom recommendation.

Can deep scratches, gouges and dents be repaired?

Yes. Depending on the finish and depth of damage, repairs may include localized filling, color matching and finish touch-up without refinishing the entire piece.

Do you repair antique wood furniture?

Yes. Antique repair is a specialty. We evaluate the existing materials and finish first, then recommend a preservation-minded repair plan.

Does every repair require refinishing?

No. Structural repairs and some surface repairs can be completed while preserving the existing finish. Full refinishing is recommended only when the condition or project goal requires it.

Is pickup and delivery available?

Yes. Pickup and delivery are available throughout Northern Colorado and the Denver metro area. Details are confirmed with the estimate.

How long does furniture repair take?

Timing depends on structural complexity, fabrication, finish work and the current studio schedule. We provide a practical timeline before work begins.
