FAQ
Got questions? See below for the most common questions and answers.
How Does Your Process Work?
After we receive your furniture, we take it apart to work on in pieces. Then we gently strip it (more on this below), clean, and wash it till as much of the original grain is exposed. Next we make any repairs necessary, including fabricating new parts, and sand it.
At this stage, we will call you to take a look at stain samples done directly on your piece, as well as different finishing options. Once you decide on a stain and finish, we’ll finish it and re-assemble it for delivery. We also polish and clean hardware, or replace it (you supply the new hardware). You’ll be kept in the loop throughout the process to ensure that its completed to your satisfaction.
Do You Charge By the Hour?
We have an hourly shop rate. We provide an estimate on the projected time and range of cost. During and afterward we give a full breakdown of hours for each step in restoring your wooden furniture to it’s former glory.
Do You Do Commercial Work?
We certainly do. From churches to municipal governments, malls to hotels, we’ve worked with a number of high profile clients over the years to refinish, repair, and restore their pieces.
Do You Paint Furniture?
Yes, we do. We can paint furniture in a variety of different styles, from shabby chic and distressed to modern and clean. We use the most durable paints on the market to make sure that our pieces are made to last from one generation to the next. Please see our Instagram page for our latest painted projects.
Do You Refinish Teak?
Absolutely. We’ve refinished, repaired, and restored a number of teak sets over the years, and brought them back to their former glory.
About Howard’s
Today owned and managed by Umar Ahmed, Howard’s was originally founded in JuIy 1951, by Oakville born Charles Franklin Howard. He established a cabinetmaking and refinishing business on Pine Avenue called Howard’s for Finer Woodworkers. Two years later, he moved to newly built quarters on Shepherd Avenue in order to accommodate the ever growing clientele and demand for fine wooden furniture refinishing.
In the tradition of his father, Richard Howard re-established the family business in custom restoration and repair, under the name of Howard’s Second Generation.
