Sometimes, a pleasurable hobby or interest can become a full time occupation, especially when you excel at what you do. At first, your talent might only attract the interest of family or close friends, but word of mouth is one of the best advertising tools, and before you know it you're at it full time.
And that is how we, Margery Smith and Rita Wagner, moved from hobby to business! Thirty-five years ago, Marge and Rita worked in the insurance industry in Waterloo when they realized and recognized they had other talents! They "stripped" as a hobby in their spare time! They were very good at "stripping!" Furniture stripping that is!

Our Services
Report
Furniture Stripping: We hand strip using a liquid or semi paste stripper depending on the furniture piece we are stripping. For "do-it-yourself" projects, we also offer a "strip only" service. Furniture Staining: All furniture to be stained or finished goes through a sanding and small defect repair process.
Restoration & Repair
Report
On solid wood furniture, any type of repair is usually possible and some special pieces of unique construction require special care. Veneer is a thin slice of any kind of wood. Since the 15th century, refined furniture has always been dressed with veneer. Sometimes it is the same kind of wood as the rest of the piece or a more decorative wood veneer has been added to the tabletop, dresser top and drawer fronts.
