FAQ

  • Awesome! If you none of the pieces available in our store fit your fancy, we’d be happy to work with you to create a piece that fits your space.

    Fill out this form with more information on what you’re looking for and we’ll get in touch.

    After asking you a few follow up questions, we’ll give you an estimate, and you can decide if you’d like to move forward with the project.

  • Great! We’d love to work on it for you.

    Our first step is to gather information from you about your piece and your vision for what you’d like done. From there we’ll give you an estimate and you can decide from there if you’d like to move forward.

    Fill out this form with the information on your project and we’ll get in touch.

  • We price all of our projects in the same way. Here’s what goes into your estimate:

    1. Hourly labor for the work that we do. Our current rate is $85/hour.

    2. Supplies. We charge for any special materials that we need to purchase for your project, such as paint or hardware. We also have a general supply fee for items such as paint brushes, cleaning supplies, sand paper, etc.

    3. Sales tax. We’re a business. We have to charge sales tax.

    You can think of bringing your furniture to our shop like bringing your car to the mechanic. We’ll give you our best estimate before we get started. If we open the hood (or the drawers) and find out that the piece needs more repairs or work, we’ll let you know and check in with you before we move forward.

  • This varies widely based on the type of furniture and the amount of work it needs. We have spent as little as 5 hours on a piece of furniture and as much as 45 hours.

    In general, we tell everyone 6 to 8 weeks. Projects never take us longer than that but they often take us less time.

    If you have a piece that has a shorter deadline, we will let you know if that’s possible within our current timeframe

  • Absolutely. We prefer working with people to customize a piece over picking colors for pieces randomly ourselves.

    Reach out to us if you’re looking for a piece. We’ll send you lots of links for websites to check out for paint colors and hardware and all that fun stuff.

  • Yes!

    For local deliveries with 15 minutes of our shop, we’ll deliver pieces that are 72 inches and shorter for free.

    For pick up and delivery outside that range, we charge $100/hour.

  • When we refinish a piece, we strip it and sand it down to wood. We then condition the wood, restain it, and seal it all up. Refinishing is generally a more time consuming process because each area that will be refinished needs to be sanded down several times.

    When we paint a piece, we repair damage, sand a piece down once so that paint will adhere. We then paint the piece.

    We can refinish parts of a piece and paint others. For example, it’s common to refinish the top of a table in wood but paint the legs.

  • We take payment via cash, check, paypal and credit card. We love checks the most as they don’t come with extra fees for us.

    At the time of drop off, we ask for a 50% deposit.

  • At this time, we are only work on projects in our workshop in Highland, NY.

    If you’re not able to move a piece or borrow a neighbor’s truck, we can get a quote from a local moving company to help get your pieces to us.
