Our Process

We assess the piece, its age, and finish, then choose conservation or refinishing accordingly — repairing veneer and structure, addressing water and heat damage, and re-establishing a finish that respects the original. For antiques we preserve patina and value rather than stripping indiscriminately.

Why Rose Restoration

Family-run since 1978, with craftsmen who restore rather than replace. We treat heirloom and designer pieces with the care they deserve, backed by our written workmanship warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will refinishing reduce my antique’s value?
Done correctly, no. We conserve original finish and patina on antiques wherever possible, and only refinish when it is the right call for the piece.

Can you repair water damage and white rings?
Yes. Water rings, heat marks, and finish damage can usually be repaired and blended into the existing finish.

How much does furniture restoration cost?
It depends on the piece and condition. Send photos for a written estimate.

Does restoring an antique reduce its value?

One of the most common worries about restoring an antique is whether refinishing will hurt its value. Done correctly, it will not, and neglecting a deteriorating finish often does more harm. The key is knowing when to conserve and when to refinish.

Conserve First

For genuine antiques, original finish and patina carry value, so our first approach is conservation: cleaning, stabilizing, and repairing while preserving as much original surface as possible. We refinish only when the existing finish is failing beyond repair or the piece is a working item rather than a collector’s antique.

Heirlooms and Designer Pieces

Whether it is a family heirloom or a high-end designer piece, the goal is the same: restore beauty and function without erasing character. Our craftsmen treat each piece according to its age, construction, and value.

What we don't do.
