What Is Insurance Furniture Restoration?
Insurance restoration refers to furniture repair services that are specifically tied to an insurance claim. Whether the damage happened during a move, delivery, storage, or in-home accident, we provide:
We work with homeowners, collectors, estate managers, and insurers to ensure antique pieces are repaired using conservation-safe methods and period-correct materials, preserving their original design and appraised value.
For clients who need repair options beyond a formal claim, you can also explore our antique restoration service offerings for a full range of specialty repairs.
When Should You File a Furniture Claim With Insurance?
You may be eligible to file a claim when your antique or vintage furniture has:
Many claims involve furniture that has deteriorated in poor storage conditions, and in those cases we can also help with recovery for pieces damaged in garages or attics before or during the insurance restoration process.
If you're unsure whether the damage qualifies, we’ll assess the condition and help guide you through your options. Most insurance companies will require both a restoration estimate and professional opinion before approving a claim—something our team provides with every inspection.
Our Insurance Restoration Process
We provide seamless support from first contact to final report:
Contact us with details about the damage. We can review photos or schedule restoration performed at your home for pieces that are too fragile or valuable to move during the claim process.
We provide a formal document detailing the damage, repair scope, projected costs, and timeframes. Photos are included to support claim review.
Need help submitting or discussing the estimate? We’ll coordinate directly with your adjuster to clarify methods, materials, and restoration value.
Once authorized, we complete the restoration using traditional joinery, historic finishing techniques, and non-invasive conservation-grade materials.
When work is complete, we’ll deliver a final invoice and post-restoration images, which can be shared with your insurance provider or kept for your records.
We specialize in repairing antique furniture damaged under a variety of insurance scenarios, including:
Scratched, gouged, or chipped finishes—often requiring specialized surface renewal for vintage furniture—can be fully restored to their pre-damage appearance.
If the structure has become unstable due to impact or improper handling, we can also repair weakened antique frames through our specialized structural reinforcement services.
For pieces that were affected by sudden force, we offer dedicated solutions for fixing furniture dropped or struck to restore stability, alignment, and original form.
When decorative trim or carved accents are damaged during a move or accident, our specialists can restore them through antique ornamental woodwork repair to rebuild missing moldings or carved details.
If your claim involves damage to antique furniture in a professional setting—such as offices, hotels, or commercial properties—we can also assist with corporate furniture restoration to ensure your business pieces are repaired with the same precision and historical sensitivity as residential antiques.
For severe moisture exposure or saturation from plumbing leaks, we also specialize in repairing wood affected by flooding, ensuring water-damaged antique pieces are stabilized and restored with conservation-safe methods.
Damage from fire or heat can leave surface discoloration or scorching; in those situations,, we provide burn-mark correction for antique wood to restore clarity and protect the original finish.
Smoke or soot residues often settled into carved details or textured grain, and in those cases we can also help with removing soot buildup from carvings to restore depth and surface clarity without harming the original finish.
Biological growth that occurs after moisture events is treated through restoring mold-affected furniture to safely eliminate contamination and preserve structural integrity.
Humidity fluctuations may lead to warping, distortion, or changes, and situations like these are addressed through repair of swelling or shrinking wood to support your insurance claim.
All work is performed using methods appropriate for the age and style of your piece, so it retains its character, finish integrity, and long-term value.
If your insurance claim involves fire, water, mold, or accidental impact, we can also guide you toward our dedicated antique recovery services for pieces that require full disaster-related restoration.
