Stripping
Each piece is carefully stripped of the old finish by hand, preventing
damage to fine woods and veneers. We do not dip or soak furniture.
All stripping
operations are completed with a flow-over system. This process uses minimal
amounts of chemicals and water. We use a high tech water purification
process that removes and collects hazardous chemicals which are then disposed
of in an environmentally sound manner. Back to top

Repairs
/ Reproduction
Once your item is stripped, cleaned, and properly dried, we perform any
necessary repairs or rebuilding. Pieces are disassembled, repaired, and
any broken or missing pieces are skillfully reproduced. All of these services are also provided for any piece not needing total restoration.
Our motto at A-1
Restoration is, "Do the job once and do it right." Back to top

Custom Finishing
After any necessary repairs are complete, your item is then hand sanded
in preparation for custom staining. The finish is custom matched to anything
you may need or request. We also do custom paints and textures that may
be needed to restore your item to the original look and feel it once had.
Once color is
applied, we apply a very durable lacquer clear coat. This usually consists
of six coats, hand sanded between each coat. This ensures a very durable
and long lasting finish for many more years to come. Back to top

Touch-up & Repairs
Our company can provide the fine craftsmanship and the lost art of touch-up
for your damaged furniture in the convenience of your home or business.
We can touch-up nicks, dings, gouges, water spots, cigarette burns, and
more. These repairs can usually be done without a total restoration, although
some cases may require a partial or total restoration. Once a piece is
examined, the necessary amount of restoration or repair can be determined. Back to top
