Restoration
StuffbyJJW provides furniture restoration services in Lisbon, Maine. Whether you need your family heirloom restored, or you found a unique piece at the local flea market, we can help! We love projects that involve taking something that looks like it belongs in the junk yard and making it shine.
The intrinsic value of original woodwork, whether due to its age or non-replaceable attributes, is in most cases more than any modern replacement piece could or should be. Wood is a beautiful medium and is very conducive to manipulation by man and machine. Wood is an environmentally sustainable product that is cost effective. Original wood and mill working is highly repairable, refinishable and restorable compared to most other mediums such as stone, marble, or glass.
From small nicks to chipped corners to deep gouges, blemished wood can be an eyesore. But damage doesn’t mean you need to opt for a costly furniture replacement. Whether it’s a small, precision repair or a complete restoration, you can rely on StuffbyJJW to get your pieces back to like-new condition.

Overview of Wood Repair Process
Often, wood repair and refinishing can be done on-site, whether at your home or office. While each job begins with a thorough cleaning, wood repairs and restorations are unique depending on the type of piece and damage suffered. Generally, though, you can expect the following process:
Evaluation: The wooden piece is closely inspected for surface-level damage as well as any structural considerations.
Prep: Clean thoroughly.
Repair: Based on damage, it’s time for small precision repairs or larger structural repairs.
Refinish: Once the piece is sound, the final finishing can happen. This includes custom-match stain, paint, sealers and topcoats.
