Start your restoration.

Share a few photos of your piece and the vision you have for it — finish, color, style — and we will review them personally and prepare your estimate. Send them straight from this page, or open the chat if you would rather talk it through.

Send photos — free estimate.

Photographs are how an estimate gets made, so the more angles the better — the whole piece, any damage, and the underside or back if you can reach it. Every estimate is priced to the piece in front of us, so there is no standard figure to quote you until we have seen it.

Large photos are resized in your browser before sending, so a phone camera is fine.

You bring the piece to the shop; transport can be arranged.

Rather talk it through?

Look for the chat launcher in the corner of this page — you can send the same photos through a conversation instead, and it reaches us the same way. Or call (941) 296-5427.

Getting your piece here

Handing over something you can't replace.

Nothing moves until you have an estimate you have said yes to. The estimate is free and comes from photographs, so you can find out what the work involves without your furniture leaving the room it is in.

You bring it to us

Pieces come to the workshop in Sarasota. You bring it in, we go over it together, and it stays with us while the work is done. Please empty drawers and take off glass, mirrors and anything personal before it travels.

If you can't move it

Transport can be arranged — for the trip in, the trip home, or both. It is not automatic and it is not assumed, so tell us when you send your photos, along with anything that makes the piece awkward to lift: a loose joint, a lifting veneer, a narrow stair.

If you need it kept

Storage is available during a project, for a fee — useful when a room is being redone around the piece, or when there is simply nowhere to put it yet. The rate is agreed with you in writing before any storage starts. It is never applied after the fact.

Workshop and record

Two names, one piece of furniture.

Alberto's Furniture Refinishing is the workshop. It is where the stripping, the repair and the finishing happen, by hand, and where you book the work.

Provenance Project is the record. It is our second site, and it holds the documented history of a piece — photographs, what the piece is, the condition it was in, and what we did to it. The record travels with the furniture, so the next owner, an heir, or an adjuster does not have to take anyone's word for it.

You never have to go looking for it. Ask for an estimate right here, and if the piece comes into the shop its record is built as the work happens — same workshop, same people, kept on provenanceproject.app so it outlives any one invoice.
