Whether you have a leather recliner that's got a hole punched in it or an antique wicker chair that needs caning, a furniture restoration expert can help you get your favorite piece of furniture in working condition again. But not all chair repair technicians are reliable. Use the HandyDirectory to find multiple furniture repair companies to receive multiple bids. That way you're sure to get the best furniture repair technician for the best price.
On site repair work can run anywhere from $50 up to $1,000 or more, so it's definitely best to get multiple quotes for your furniture repair. Furniture repairpersons may also charge a minimum rate, so be prepared to spend at least their bottom line. Also some furniture restorers will charge a trip charge for estimates; so call in advance so you're aware of hidden fees later on.
When you receive multiple bids, it's best to also get a cost breakdown of the materials that will be used and the labor that will go into the repair work. This way, you can easily compare prices between companies.
Key Hiring Tips
Hiring a contractor is an important decision so it is best to get all the information you can on each company. This includes checking references, insurance and licensing information. On a larger project a designer or architect is required in order to get the permits. Smaller projects still require a plan and the job will turn out great with the a little organization.
