About Furniture Repair Experts
Delivering quality craftsmanship and exceptional furniture restoration since 2008
Our Story
Furniture Repair Experts was founded in 2008 by master craftsman Robert Kowalski, who brought over 25 years of experience in traditional woodworking and furniture restoration to the business.
What began as a small workshop focusing on antique restoration has grown into a comprehensive furniture repair service, while maintaining the same commitment to quality craftsmanship and attention to detail that defined our early days.
Today, our team includes skilled craftspeople specializing in various aspects of furniture repair and restoration, from traditional woodworking to modern upholstery techniques.
Our Approach
We believe that quality furniture deserves quality care. Our approach to furniture repair and restoration is based on several core principles:
- Respect for original craftsmanship - We honor the work of the original makers by using techniques and materials that complement their vision.
- Balance of tradition and innovation - We combine time-tested traditional methods with modern technologies and materials when appropriate.
- Customized solutions - Every piece of furniture has its own story and needs. We develop restoration plans tailored to each item's unique requirements.
- Transparent communication - We keep clients informed throughout the restoration process, ensuring expectations are clear and results are satisfying.
