Rose Restoration restores architectural wood for building owners, hotels, historic institutions, and general contractors across Washington DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia. We refinish paneling, millwork, and trim on site since 1978 — restoring rich, even finishes without tear-out.
Architectural Wood We Restore
- Wall paneling and wainscoting
- Millwork, moldings, and trim
- Built-ins, libraries, and casework
- Staircases, handrails, and balustrades
- Historic and landmark woodwork
Our Process
We assess the wood and finish, repair damage and water staining, sand back failed coatings, then re-stain and topcoat to a uniform color and sheen. On site we contain dust and protect surrounding surfaces so occupied buildings stay usable throughout.
Historic and Commercial Woodwork
Paneled lobbies, boardrooms, and historic interiors demand consistency and care. We restore large millwork scopes on phased, after-hours schedules, to preservation standards where required, with full insurance on file.
Why Rose Restoration
Family-run since 1978, restoring rather than replacing. Our work appears in landmark buildings and luxury hotels across the DC metro, backed by our written workmanship warranty.
Serving the DC Metro

Frequently Asked Questions
Can paneling be refinished in place?
Yes. We refinish most paneling and millwork on site with dust containment, avoiding the cost and disruption of removal.
Can you match an existing stain across a room?
Yes. We color-match stain and topcoat so repairs blend, or refresh an entire space to a uniform finish.

Paneling and millwork in commercial and historic interiors
Paneled lobbies, boardrooms, libraries, and historic interiors age, but they rarely need replacing. Refinishing wood paneling and millwork on site restores a rich, uniform finish at a fraction of the cost of tearing out and rebuilding, and it preserves the craftsmanship that makes these spaces distinctive.

Restored On Site, Around Your Schedule
We refinish most paneling and millwork in place with dust containment, so occupied offices, hotels, and historic buildings stay usable throughout. Large scopes run on phased, after-hours schedules, to preservation standards where required, with full insurance and certificates on file.
Consistent, Matched Finishes
We color-match stain and topcoat so repairs blend invisibly, or refresh an entire space to a uniform sheen. The result reads as original, not patched.
