Furniture Refinishing and Repair

About us

Restoration Workshop has been renewing furniture in the Shelbyville area since 1991, offering "New life for neglected and abused furniture."

Business highlights

34 years of trusted experience

Services we offer

Restoration Workshop is in the business of undoing what the years have done—years of neglect, years of abuse, or even years of normal wear and tear. We can remove a deteriorated finish if necessary, repair or replace broken parts, and make your run-down family heirloom look like it did in its prime.

Services we don't offer

We are not able to strip heavily painted items; only clear finishes.

Hello [Member Name Removed]. Sorry that I don't recall our conversation in which I said that you lived too far from my shop. If you'd like to give me another call regarding your furniture restoration needs I would love the opportunity to complete your project. Thanks.

Description of Work: Mr Abilt refinished, reseated, and restored several antique pieces of furniture. He did an excellent job. His prices were not cheap, but commensurate with the quality of work. I do not remember the date or the price, but I remember being very pleased with the service. Kirk Somerville

Description of Work: The last time John did any work for us was a couple of years ago. He has done refinishing as well as repairs of our antique furnishings. He is always friendly and honest. His work has been top drawer. ( a little furniture humor). His prices are most reasonable and he has never, repeat never given an estimate which was not either right on or only a small amount different and well justified.
