Cost: furniture makeover
Base the offer on actual condition, treated surfaces and a finish sample. Handle changes, painting and repair with decoration are different interventions; no average price or universal saving is established here.
Editorial update on 18 September 2026
Describe surfaces and effect
List dimensions, doors, drawers, mouldings and treated faces. Separate dismantling, preparation, repair, paint, decorative effect and any protective finish. Visible-face work is not comparable with full interior and exterior treatment.
Price accessories and handling
Specify handles, drilling, hole filling, adjustment, transport and reinstatement. Agree approval for hidden repairs before undertaking them. Moulding or masking complexity can matter more than size alone.
Compare documented totals
Request gross total, schedule and care instructions. No resale increase or public funding is assumed. Separate assessment of a collectible may prevent an unsuitable change.
