Expert Furniture Repair & Restoration

Not every piece of furniture needs to be replaced. In many cases, quality furniture can be repaired, restored, and enjoyed for many more years. Second Life works with a wide range of furniture and materials, carefully evaluating each piece before determining the best approach.

Our services include furniture repair, refinishing, antique restoration, furniture finishing, upholstery, and custom furniture work. We work on everything from tables, chairs, cabinets, and desks to mirrors, shelves, and other unique or specialty pieces.

Restoration may involve repairing damaged or broken components, addressing scratches and surface damage, removing an old or worn finish, rebuilding or replacing components when appropriate, and applying a new finish that complements the original design. Our goal isn't simply to make an old piece look new—it is to restore its beauty, function, and character while respecting what makes it unique.

Preserve the Furniture You Love
