Furniture Reupholstery & Damage Restoration in Bryn Mawr | Niki Francis Restorations
Bryn Mawr, PA 19010
Question Answers
How do you handle kitchen sink leak damage or ceiling water stains in Bryn Mawr homes?
We start with a thorough assessment to find all affected areas, including hidden moisture. For kitchen sink leaks or drain backups, we dry and treat the structure, then repair only the damaged section—like a portion of a cabinet or ceiling—rather than replacing everything. This approach saves time and money, and we can match existing finishes to keep your home looking seamless.
Can you reupholster an antique chair that has smoke or water damage?
Yes. For smoke damage, we clean and deodorize the frame before reupholstering with new fabric. For water damage, we dry the wood carefully to prevent warping, then rebuild any weakened joints. Our reupholstery work preserves the original character while making the piece functional again.
What types of furniture repair do you offer for items damaged in a fire or flood?
We repair structural damage like broken legs, loose joints, and water-swollen wood. For fire damage, we remove soot, treat smoke odors, and refinish surfaces. We also fix veneer, replace missing hardware, and restore carved details. Our goal is to return your furniture to pre-loss condition without replacing it entirely.
