Our Restoration Process

1. Evaluation & Documentation

We inspect structure, upholstery, finish, and hardware. Measurements, profiles, and details are documented for accuracy.

2. Structural Repair

Frames are tightened, rebuilt, or reinforced. Springs and supports are restored to factory-grade performance.

3. Upholstery & Cushion Work

We rebuild cushions using high-resilience foam, down/feather blends, or multi-density layering. Upholstery is restored
or replaced with precision.

4. Refinishing & Surface Restoration

Finishes are stripped, repaired, or matched. We restore color, sheen, and texture to match the original design.

5. Final Assembly & Quality Control

Every piece is inspected, leveled, tested, and photographed before delivery.
