refinishers
Furniture restoration workers
Refinishers are people or businesses that restore the surface finish of furniture, floors, or other items.
The work typically involves stripping old paint or varnish, sanding, and applying new coatings.
The refinishers quoted us three hundred dollars to restore the dining table.
Cabinet refinishers and floor refinishers are common specialties.
