Wood restoration almost always costs less than replacement, because the original doors, paneling, or furniture stay in place and only the finish and any damage are addressed. If you are budgeting a project, here is what actually drives wood restoration cost in the DC, Maryland, and Virginia market.
What Drives the Price
Cost depends on the piece, its condition, the finish, and whether the work happens on site or in our shop. A single scratched door is inexpensive; a paneled lobby or a water-damaged antique is a larger project. The main variables are square footage or piece count, the severity of damage, and how much repair precedes refinishing.
By Project Type
- Wood doors: per-door pricing that drops sharply on multi-door commercial work.
- Paneling and millwork: priced by area and finish, refinished on site.
- Antique and fine furniture: priced per piece by condition and conservation needs.
Restoration vs Replacement
Replacing solid wood doors, custom millwork, or quality furniture is expensive and often discards irreplaceable material. Refinishing restores a rich, even finish for a fraction of the cost, and most of it happens in place with dust containment so your space stays usable.
