Lou's Re-New offers their customers the best quality furniture refinishing and restoration. We believe in being upfront and honest with you and your furniture choices. There is definitely a difference between refinishing and restoration. Refinishing a piece of furniture consists of stripping, sanding, staining, and applying a modern finish to the piece to making it strong, durable, and a daily usable piece. Restoring a piece consists of maintaining the originality of the piece, by repairing the existing finish and keeping the value of the piece if this may be the case.
