Furniture Refinishing And Restoration Service is our specialty. McLean’s Refinishing has been refinishing and restoring antiques and fine furniture for over 40 years. We can refinish, repair or restore any antique or quality wood furniture. We also specialize in commercial work including in-office touchups and repair or restoring furniture in government offices, sororities, fraternities, and public libraries.
Custom Furniture Finishes – In addition to traditional refinishing, we also offer custom-finished furniture. The process includes stripping, sanding, sprayed on undercoating for color followed by a clear coat for finish protection. These custom finishes may include tinted gray lacquer or hand-brushed Vandyke Brown glaze. All of the finishes are applied and then hand-wiped and brushed to the desired look. This process will produce a silky smooth, beautiful, and long-wearing finish.

Even broken, water damaged, and burned pieces can often be repaired to like-new condition. We restore and repair all types of furniture including antiques and specialty items, millwork, paneling, molding, frames, banisters, and mantels, doors, cabinetry, upholstery, leather, hardwood floors, and laminated surfaces. We provide home and business owners an affordable alternative to replacing fine wood furnishings and fixtures, antiques, family heirlooms, costly office furnishings, picture frames, molding, and millwork.
Replacement Parts We have access to thousands of furniture replacement parts, reproduction parts for antiques, and old stock parts. We can usually find the parts to restore your piece of furniture, or we can change the look of your piece by changing the style of knobs, drawer pulls, hinges, legs or other furniture parts. We have access to the correct springs, screws, and hardware to bring your furniture back to new condition. We also have the ability to make wood or metal furniture parts if new ones are not available.
Veneering You probably admire the detailed work on elaborately veneered pieces in furniture and may think that small damages are beyond repair. What Exactly Is Veneering? Can it be repaired? Veneering is the gluing of a thin sheet or layer of wood – a veneer – to another or to some other underlying material. Depending on how a log is cut, strikingly different visual effects can be achieved with the wood’s grain and characteristics. This is part of the beauty of working with hardwood veneer – that two logs of the same species, cut in different ways, can produce veneers that are distinctively different. If you have a damaged veneered piece of furniture, antique or modern, McLean’s refinishing can repair it. We have the ability to match the old veneer or replace it with completely new material. Let us give your damaged veneered furniture new life.
Lathe Work McLean’s Refinishing has all the proper tools, lathes, and equipment to produce any part you may need to be repaired or replaced on your fine furniture. We can lathe turn spindles, chair and table legs, banisters, or decorative trim pieces. Our expert technicians have years of lathe and machinery experience and will take the extra steps to ensure the job is done right.
Wood Carving Carving Wood carving is not a lost art at McLeans Refinishing. If you have damaged hand-carved figures or decorative trim on your furniture, we can repair it to new condition. We take pride in our ability to hand carve replacement pieces that may be missing, or repair hand-carved woodwork. We take care to find the correct wood with matching grain, carefully recreate the image, and complete it using the correct stains, oils, and finishes. We can renew the beauty of your hand-carved antique or custom pieces and restore them to their original beauty.
Beveled Mirror Replacement If your beveled mirror is damaged or broken, McLeans refinishing can replace it or restore it to new condition using the correct type of beveled glass mirror. We can also restore the frame, whether it be antique or modern, making sure to match the color, style, and finish. The appearance of the piece should not be different after the repair, and we take the time to keep the look of the wood and mirror as it was originally designed and manufactured.
Chair Caning If you find an old chair with its original cane seat, consider yourself lucky. Like most old pieces, it may not be in perfect condition, but it is something to cherish. If you are not so lucky, you might find one with the cane seat either broken or missing. McLean’s Refinishing can change your luck by restoring that chair to as good as new. Whether your chair was done by hand or machine, we can restore it for you. See our Chair Caning Video
