Furniture Staining & Refinishing
Detailed Description
That Toronto & GTA Home Furniture Deserves Better Than Another Coat Over Old Finish
Good furniture is built to last — the problem is that finish isn’t. Worn table surfaces, scratched cabinet fronts, sun-faded wood that looks grey and lifeless, or a stain colour that belonged to a different decade — these are finish problems, not structural ones. The piece underneath may be perfectly sound. With the right preparation and the right product, furniture that looks like it needs to go to the curb can look like a new purchase at a fraction of the replacement cost.
At CNG Contracting, furniture staining and refinishing in Toronto & GTA starts with proper stripping — because applying new stain or finish over old product that’s failing just adds another layer that will fail in the same way. We strip to bare wood where needed, address surface damage, and apply new stain or finish that’s appropriate to the piece, the wood species, and how it’s used in your Toronto & GTA home.
Refinishing vs. Replacement in Toronto & GTA
- Solid Wood Lasts Generations: Solid wood furniture — tables, cabinets, dressers, dining sets — can be refinished multiple times over its lifetime. The investment in refinishing is almost always less than equivalent replacement.
- Colour Updating: A piece with good bones but a dated stain colour can be stripped and refinished to a contemporary shade that works with your current Toronto & GTA home interior.
- Damage Repair: Deep scratches, water rings, heat marks, and surface checking can be addressed as part of a refinishing project — not just cosmetically sanded over.
- Cabinet Refinishing: Kitchen and bathroom cabinets in Toronto & GTA homes are one of the most cost-effective refinishing projects — updating the finish dramatically changes the room without the cost of replacement.

Frequently Asked — Furniture Refinishing in Toronto & GTA
How do I know if a piece is worth refinishing vs. replacing?
Solid wood pieces with sound joints and structure are almost always worth refinishing in Toronto & GTA. We assess every piece honestly and tell you what we find — if a piece has structural issues or is made from materials that don’t refinish well, we’ll tell you before taking the job.
Can you match an existing stain colour?
We work to match existing colours when consistency across pieces is needed. Exact matching on aged wood isn’t always possible — wood absorbs stain differently over time — but we get as close as the piece allows and advise on what’s achievable before we start.
How do I book furniture refinishing in Toronto & GTA?
Book online in under two minutes. Our Toronto & GTA team contacts you directly to confirm scope and schedule your visit.
Furniture refinishing in Toronto & GTA also includes a consultation on protective topcoat options — waterborne polyurethane, oil-based finish, or wax for pieces that require a softer touch. The topcoat choice affects both durability and future refinishability, and it’s worth discussing before application in the context of how each piece is used in your Toronto & GTA home.
Why is a Technical Visit necessary?
Refinishing is risky if you don't know what lies beneath the surface. Many modern "wood" tables are actually thin wood veneers over particle board. Aggressive sanding on veneer will burn right through to the glue, ruining the piece permanently. Our Furniture Staining & Refinishing assessment identifies the wood type (Solid vs. Veneer) and the existing finish chemistry to determine the safest stripping and sanding method for your specific item.
