Furniture Fire Damage Repair Service

Assessment of Fire Damage

As the team at Restoration Antique Furniture Atlanta, we’ve seen firsthand how devastating fire damage can be to beloved furniture pieces. The first and most crucial step in the restoration process is a comprehensive assessment of the damage. We meticulously examine each piece to understand the extent of damage inflicted by flames, smoke, and heat. This step involves identifying charred sections, assessing structural integrity, and evaluating the impact on finishes and upholstery.

Restoration of Burnt Furniture

Our restoration process begins with removing the burnt materials. We use specialized techniques to carefully strip away charred layers, ensuring we don’t compromise the piece’s original integrity. Our artisans, skilled in conservation techniques, focus on preserving any elements that retain historical or sentimental value, while strategically replacing those beyond repair.

Repairing Smoke Damage

Smoke damage often extends beyond visible soot to leave embedded odors and discolorations. Our repair approach involves thorough cleaning and deodorizing techniques to eliminate these residues. We use delicate tools and solutions that gently cleanse the surfaces, ensuring no further damage is done to the furniture’s finish.

Upholstery Repair Services

Upholstered pieces present unique challenges in fire damage scenarios. Our experts are adept in reupholstery, replacing singed or stained fabric with materials that match the original in texture, color, and quality. The process includes foam and spring replacement, leather repair if necessary, and careful attention to maintaining the furniture’s original style and comfort.

Structural Repair for Furniture

Fires can compromise the structural integrity of furniture, leading to weakened joints and frames. Our team provides skilled structural repairs that restore stability and functionality. Using traditional joinery techniques, we reinforce damaged areas, ensuring that the repairs blend seamlessly with the piece’s original construction.

Refinishing and Polishing Services

Once the structural repairs are complete, we move on to refinishing and polishing. This step is critical to reviving the furniture’s aesthetic appeal. We apply meticulous sanding and polishing techniques to remove smoke stains and restore the original luster. Our comprehensive suite of services includes varnishing, color matching, and, where applicable, gilding and gold leaf application—each performed with an eye for historical accuracy.

Replacement of Damaged Furniture Parts

In some cases, replacement of certain furniture parts is inevitable. We offer custom molding and carving repair services to fabricate replacement pieces that replicate the original components. Our artisans are skilled in creating parts that perfectly align with the historical craftsmanship of the furniture, preserving its authenticity.

Cleaning and Deodorizing Services

To finalize the restoration, comprehensive cleaning and deodorizing services are provided. This involves using professional-grade cleaning solutions that remove all residual smoke odors and grime. The result is furniture that looks and smells as good as new, revitalized for the next chapter of its life with its owner.

Inspection and Evaluation of Furniture Damage

Before we commence any restoration, a careful inspection and evaluation are carried out to inform the project plan. This evaluation helps us provide accurate estimates and timelines tailored to each piece’s specific needs. We prioritize transparency in our assessments, ensuring clients are fully informed about what to expect.
