Some of Our Processes
Stripping:
All of the seating has to get stripped back down to base material; whether it is wood, steel, or any other material.
When this happens sometimes you come into situations where parts may end up like this.
At this point, we are able to begin deciding what the next step of the process will need.
Whether the parts need welding, bondo, wood filler or bodywork we will put what needs to be done to get the proper restoration.
Restoration:
When it comes to the restoration we go right down to the nitty gritty. We will rebuild non-essentials that are not visible if need be. We also can add brand new parts or reuse originals.
Every single detail is important to us.
Refinishing, Staining and Painting:
Making things look new is our specialty. We love doing all the finishes to get your product back to where you want it.
Packaging:
It is our goal to not just send out quality work, but it is to get it installed in quality condition.
This means the packaging is important to us.
End Result:
When it is all said and done the product should look like this, but at its final destination!
