Why You Should Consider Repair vs. Replace
Normal wear and tear can show on furniture, fixtures and other wood surfaces over time. Scratches, dents, gouges, spills and watermarks may be eyesores, and some can even lead to structural damage. Luckily, damage like this doesn’t mean the item needs to be tossed. By choosing to repair or restore you items, you’ll also be able to:
- Restore value to the furniture, flooring, cabinetry or millwork.
- Save money by fixing problems areas instead of paying for a total replacement.
- Hang on to any sentimental value attached to the piece.
Antique Restoration
From thorough cleaning to structural repair — and almost everything in between — antique restoration work can take on many different forms. Here’s a primer of what each term means.
Antique
First things first: For an item to be technically considered antique, it must be 100 years old or more. Vintage describes a collectible item between 20 and 99 years old. And what about retro? It applies to anything made within the last 20 years and may reference a different style of the past.
Antique Restoration
Antique restoration is the work completed to bring an antique or heirloom as close to its original condition as possible, including structural repairs and finish restoration.
Antique Repair
When it comes to damage, antiques can see it all. Antique repairs include fixing scratches, gouges, water stains, broken legs, loose hinges, sticky drawers and more.
Antique Finish Restoration
The patina, or surface sheen, of an antique often makes a big difference when it comes to value. An antique finish restoration protects the patina developed over time while enhancing it, and includes a careful cleaning to remove stuck-on grime and grease.
Antique Refinishing
During antique refinishing, the original surface finish is removed and replaced with a specialty varnish. This can be done to the whole piece or to smaller, damaged areas.
Antique Stripping
Stripping an antique piece involves applying a chemical solvent that removes the finish of the piece and brings it back to bare wood. This process may even weaken or remove glue used to hold the piece together.
Cabinet Services
Cabinet Transformation
When cabinets are opened and closed all day long, it’s no wonder they’re a magnet for dirt and grime. Especially when you consider they often reside in kitchens or bathrooms where many of the household messes are made. If your cabinets have lost their luster, our professionally trained technicians can help restore them to their former glory with our on-site cabinet cleaning and touch-up service.
Benefits of Cabinet Cleaning & Touch-Ups
The biggest benefits from our cabinet cleaning and touch-ups service are found in time and money. Giving your cabinets a refresh is significantly less expensive than replacement, and requires minimal disruption to your daily life. Other advantages of cabinet cleaning include:
- Removing years of built up dirt and grime from surfaces
- Making entire rooms look fresh and clean
- Extending the cabinet’s life and increasing durability
Cabinet Cleaning & Touch-Ups
When you choose Furniture Medic, you choose professionally trained technicians that know the ins and outs of cabinet transformation services. You might be wondering how much of a difference thorough cleanings and touch-ups can make, but once you see the results you won’t have any doubts. Here are some of the many benefits you can expect from cabinet cleaning and touch-ups.
Transform the Appearance
When you see your cabinets constantly, it can be hard to notice the grease, grime and gunk that builds up over time. With a deep cleaning, your cabinets will look straight off the showroom floor, brightening your kitchen or bathrooms and creating a whole new look. Touch-ups complete the process, eliminating the appearance of wear and tear like nicks, scratches or gouges.
Save Money
Cabinet replacement can easily escalate into tens of thousands of dollars worth of expenses. Even if your cabinets look dirty or dingy, that doesn’t mean they’re beyond saving. Furniture Medic technicians are trained to handle even the most stubborn stains or scratches, and will do it at a fraction of the price of replacement.
Minimal Disruption
Another big benefit of professional cabinet cleaning and touch-ups is that all the work can be handled on-site. This means you don’t have to turn your life upside down to get the transformation you’ve always wanted. Furniture Medic technicians work around your schedule at times that are convenient, and can often finish the job in a single day.
Extend the Life
Beyond the immediate results, cabinet cleaning and touch-ups set you up for success in the future. Seemingly simple cabinet touch-ups and repairs not only hide years of wear, they also enhance durability from further damage. You can even schedule routine cabinet cleaning and touch-up services with the Furniture Medic Cabinet Maintenance Program to keep them protected.
Cabinet Refinishing
If your cabinets have endured a lot of surface damage like scratches, stains, nicks, dings and dents, cabinet color changes are great options to transform your look and tackle exterior touch-ups and repairs at the same time. Our talented technicians start the color change process by removing the surface level damage, working to preserve as much of the original look as possible.
Cabinet refinishing typically involves staining instead of painting your cabinets. What’s the difference? Staining applies a thinner coat of color, highlighting your cabinet’s natural wood features so it brings out the character of the grain. It’s a quick and easy way to change the appearance of your cabinets. Working with the technicians from Furniture Medic can also cut your renovation time in half. We have the professional-grade tools and techniques to achieve a look that’s straight off the showroom floor, giving you a beautiful upgrade on a budget.
If your cabinets are an eyesore and you’d rather go for an entirely new look, cabinet painting is the way to go. Painting might sound like a basic upgrade you’re tempted to take on as a DIY project, but the help of a highly trained technician makes all the difference. Furniture Medic technicians use professional-quality equipment and long-lasting materials to give you a high-end look. Because we use precision sprayers for a clean, factory finish, you won’t see any messy brush lines or uneven areas. The finish is so clean if you didn’t know better, you’d assume your cabinets were brand new.
Cabinet Refacing & Redooring
Cabinet refacing provides a simple, affordable way to revitalize rooms and get the exact look you want. Here’s a step-by-step guide to how our process works:
- Step 1: Select the new cabinet door and drawer front style, type of material and color you want. Cabinet hardware can be added to enhance the look and functionality of the cabinets. Molding is optional.
- Step 2: Skilled technicians carefully remove your existing cabinet fronts. Molding is removed when new molding is installed. We will take care to cover countertops, appliances, and floors to minimize mess.
- Step 3: Cabinet box face frames and exposed side panels are prepped and cleaned, then matching paint or veneer is applied. They are carefully matched to your cabinet style to create a new, updated look.
- Step 4: Replacement hinges are installed for smooth operation.
- Step 5: If your existing drawer boxes are in good shape they can be reused. Otherwise, new replacement drawer boxes and hardware will be installed.
Cabinet Maintenance Program
We know what you’re thinking. The messy build up of dirt, gunk and grime, and normal wear and tear on your cabinets bothers you. And using the wrong products and process to clean and touch-up your cabinets can create permanent damage. Don’t worry. Furniture Medic’s Cabinet Maintenance Program will ensure that your kitchen, bathroom, and any cabinets in your home look like new with our regular on-site cleaning and touch-up service.
Make Life Easier and Save
Furniture Medic’s professionally trained technicians will visit your home every six months or yearly. It all depends on how often you use your kitchen, bathroom or other cabinets. We’ll make sure every room we touch stays bright, fresh and clean. Not to mention extend the life of your cabinets and increase their durability. You’ll also save tens of thousands of dollars by restoring your cabinets instead of replacing them.
How It Works
The regular Cabinet Maintenance Program schedule you select is based on the unique wear and tear on your cabinets. Furniture Medic’s pros find a time that’s convenient for you with minimal disruptions. Most regular cabinet cleaning and touch-up services can be completed in just one day.
Our full-service experts are trained to handle the most stubborn stains, scratches, and water or other damage. And if you want to upgrade the hardware on your cabinets, we can do that too. The goal is to exceed your expectations.
Emergency Cabinet Removal
Cabinetry can account for almost 30% of kitchen remodel costs according to HomeAdvisor, so being able to salvage what you can after a disaster can really impact the bottom line. If property damage comes from fire, water, smoke or vandalism, nearly 95% of cabinetry can be safely removed and repaired off-site.
Specially trained Furniture Medic technicians work in tandem with mitigation professionals to identify cabinets with structural damage, water damage, surface blemishes, and more that can be restored to pre-loss condition through our ECR service. Removing cabinetry — while securely bracing countertops in place — also provides easier access to those hard-to-reach areas to stop further damage from occurring.
Understanding Our ECR Process
With emergency cabinet removal, your policyholders can avoid replacing an entire kitchen.
- Claim assignment is sent to Furniture Medic for the affected cabinets.
- Adjuster and policyholder approve Furniture Medic to perform the ECR service.
- Furniture Medic carefully removes the affected cabinetry and safely braces countertops, making mitigation easier.
- Affected cabinets are brought back to shop and Furniture Medic prepares and sends the estimate for repairs and reinstallation.
- Estimate is approved, cabinets are repaired and reinstalled.
- Carrier releases payment to Furniture Medic.
Insurance
Insurance Claims
Your policyholder has experienced a disaster at their home or business. Choosing Furniture Medic as a preferred cabinet and furniture restoration vendor gets you the documentation and line-of-sight you need — and your policyholder back to normal — safely and efficiently.
Benefits of Choosing an Expert Partner for Disaster Insurance Claims
Often, restoring and repairing furniture and cabinets after damage from water, fire or vandalism is more efficient and cost-effective than opting for total replacement. Commercial and residential disaster cabinetry and furniture restoration services usually end up saving time and minimizing disruption to your policyholders. Depending on the extent and type of damage, homeowners may even be able to stay in their property to save on additional living expenses (ALE).
Our expert technicians at Furniture Medic work closely with insurance adjusters to validate damage-related repair and restoration needs for cabinetry and furniture or other items like antiques, molding, millwork and more. As a partner, we’ll keep you and your policyholder informed and updated throughout the process and create a streamlined approach for collaboration.
Mitigation Partnerships
An emergency cabinet removal (ECR) consists of trained Furniture Medic technicians carefully removing or detaching affected cabinets and bracing the countertops in place. This helps reduce further damage to the cabinets, salvages the countertops, allows for easier mitigation and increases habitability and functionality.
When you work with untrained technicians, you’re risking costly mistakes like avoidable damage to improperly supported or — worse yet — unsupported countertops, damage and destruction of salvageable cabinetry and increased costs and cycle times.
Here’s a breakdown of using untrained cabinet removal technicians versus Furniture Medic’s trained ECR technicians.
Untrained Cabinet Removal Technicians
- Broken countertops: Experience much higher instances of countertop breakage.
- Increased cabinetry damages: Collateral damage increases and salvageable cabinetry may be simply thrown away.
- Bogged-down resources: Our trained cabinet removal techs are ready to remove cabinets and brace countertops for easier mitigation, so your teams can move onto the next job.
- Increased costs and cycle time: Repairs can be more extensive and take much longer, and additional living expenses (ALE) may increase. There is also a higher probability for mold to occur.
Disaster Restoration Services
Disaster restoration doesn’t just eliminate damage caused by water, fire or even vandalism. The disaster restoration process also brings back the comforting environment you were used to before catastrophe struck. Often, you can save money by repairing, cleaning and restoring items like furniture, cabinets, millwork and more instead of opting for a full replacement. And for family heirlooms, expert restoration can save sentimental value, too.
