Restoration Philosophy

The motivation behind Carrison's Restoration's work is to respect and preserve as much of the original piece as possible. Regardless of the specific repair needs, each piece receives the same basic hands-on process, including:

• Cleaning • Sealing • Polishing

We treat all types of wood using the best and most appropriate techniques. Each job receives a personal touch, renewing the beauty of the piece and adding to its durability.

Furniture Restoration

The key to quality furniture restoration is to preserve the integrity of the original piece. Therefore, at Carrison's Restoration, we recommend restoring only the damaged or lost areas of any piece of furniture.

Our process includes:

• Meticulous cleaning
  
• Missing parts fabricated and replaced (i.e. decorative ornaments, hardware, drawers, and legs)
  
• Touch-ups, color blending and matching

Furniture Refinishing

Refinishing is an ideal solution when the existing finish is damaged or a new look or color is desired. Carrison's does not dip furniture to strip away the old finish. Here furniture is hand stripped or a flow-over tank is used. This method ensures joints are not dried out and there is no disfiguration of the wood from sitting in lye.

• Old finish removed by hand.
• Stained and color toned for a perfect match, or as specified.
  
• Each layer of material hand polished for a flawless finish.
  
• Each finish sealed by layered coats of protective material for beauty and durability.

Furniture Repair

The keys to quality furniture repair are invisibility and durability. Repairs are virtually seamless; no job should compromise a piece's integrity or current value. Each repair is done so that the area that failed will not fail again under normal use.

We can:

• Repair fire, smoke, water and pet damage.
• Re-fabricate and replace missing parts.
• Raise dents and fill gouges.
• Reinforce loose joints and re-glue.

Is the damage due to a move? Carrison's works with many insurance companies and can provide the needed estimate to get your military move or other mover claim processed.
