Benno's works with clients to select the most appropriate color and finish based on both cost and aesthetic preference, to achieve the desired look without exceeding budget.

The team at Benno's works directly with general contractors, architects, interior designers and private clients to provide preservation and architectural woodwork services for institutional and commercial projects.

With more than 30 years of experience and a highly skilled staff, we have the ability to complete any job, large or small. We can restore, refinish, touch-up, revive, and/or repair any of your architectural woodwork of furniture.

It is nearly always cost-effective to bring back the original beauty of historic finished woodwork. The quality of period moldings, paneling and millwork is so far superior to any replacement available today that restoration of existing work offers the most beauty and value. 

By following specific, detailed plans and guidelines, we restore the existing finishes of historical buildings to their original beauty.

We also repair, refurbish and refinish furniture or portable architectural elements (such as doors) in our wood stripping and finishing shop in downtown Kalamazoo.

Woodwork restoration and refinishing is difficult, dirty work. But the payoff is completely satisfying. We've spent time in some of the most beautiful structures and when the work is complete, the wood looks old and well-maintained-not newly stripped and refinished. it resonates with warmth and age.

Whether it's an antique, a family heirloom, or any other piece of furniture in your home, we ensure that every item that enters our shop is stripped, refinished and/or restored with the highest quality care and attention to detail.

Our expertise ranges from wood stripping, which exposes the original, natural beauty of your antique furniture, to refinishing your wood with one of our high quality finishes, to repairing and touching up existing finishes.

A wide variety of furniture refinishing projects enter our shop, such as:

Dining Room Tables

Chairs

Drop Leaf Tables

Beds

Bookcases

Armoires

Dressers

Desks

Cabinets

We also strip doors, window sashes, mantels, balusters and architectural elements.

Common repairs include:

Remilling a missing piece

Glueing a lost joint

Replacing a piece of veneer

Tightening moldings that have loosened over the years

Replacing table glides

Touching up the finish on your wood furniture can significantly improve the finish, without stripping and refinishing. 

On-site services for home, office, or showroom include:

Restoring color

Finishing losses due to scratches, dents and nicks

Removing water rings, heat and moisture marks

Restoring your furniture or woodwork after a fire can seem like an impossible or depressing task. We have the expertise and experience to help save your favorite pieces of furniture and/or architectural woodwork, following a disaster.

We know what is worth restoring and what can't be restored and will work with your insurance company and adjuster to find reasonable and cost effective solutions.

We're experts in color matching and can match new woodwork to existing, in the event that only a section of woodwork, such as a panel or window frame, has to be repaired or refinished.
