How It Works

A.B Salvaged Furniture transforms outdated furniture into trend forward pieces with new custom finishes. Through the application of premium paints and selective wood restoration, we take the outdated and give it a new life.

Our conversation begins with what you are looking for.

 

-Is it an existing piece of furniture you already own that needs a new look?

​

-Is it a piece of furniture you are looking for?

 

Either way we can help, refinish it or source it.

​

We then focuses on the level of modernization you desire. Discussing whether to apply paint and what colors would work best for your application. Do you want to preserve natural wood accents? What hardware options will work best?

AI Mockups

It can be overwhelming and difficult sometimes to pin point the exact final look.

 

To solve this problem we leverage AI to visualize the full potential of your furniture. This gives us realistic design mockups of various colors and finish options for your review. 

​

I then use the AI image as a guideline and do my best to match.

 REFINISHING

The technical transition begins with professional cleaning and structural repairs followed by meticulous prep work. We apply high quality furniture paint and specialized primers to achieve beautiful finishes. Original wood finishes stripped, stained and sealed. 

Final Styling & Handover

Your furniture is inspected and styled with pictures sent for your final approval. 

​

We then set up a time for you to pick up your finished product or package for delivery!

Service Terms & Policies

Deposit

A 20% non-refundable deposit is required to secure your project on our calendar. This deposit covers administrative costs and the initial procurement of materials specific to your piece.

Balance

The remaining balance is due upon project completion. Payment must be received in full before the furniture is released for pickup or scheduled for delivery. We accept various secure payment methods for your convenience.

Scope

Estimates will be provided prior to final invoicing. Any requests for additional modifications, hardware changes, or structural repairs made after work has commenced will be treated as a change order and may incur additional charges.

Previously Painted Furniture

If a piece has been previously painted or finished by someone else, we cannot guarantee the adhesion of our new finish over the old one. We do not guarantee a previously painted piece of furniture can be restored to a natural wood finish. Unfortunately there is no way to see what is hiding under paint. We take every precaution in preparation, but underlying failures in old coatings are beyond our control.

Finish Variations

While AI mockups provide an accurate visual guide, slight variations in color and sheen may occur due to lighting conditions, wood grain differences, and the handcrafted nature of the application process. We strive for the closest match possible to the approved mockups.

Timeline

Estimated completion dates are provided as a guideline. High-quality refinishing is a multi-step process that can be affected by humidity, cure times, and unforeseen structural discoveries. We prioritize the quality of the final result over speed.

Pickup / Abandoned Property

Finished pieces must be picked up within 7 days of completion notification unless prior arrangements are made. Due to limited studio space, furniture left over 30 days without communication will be considered abandoned and may be sold to cover costs.

Liability

A.B Salvaged Furniture is not liable for damage occurring during transit if transport is handled by a third party or the client. We recommend professional white-glove delivery services for the safest handling of your investment.

Media Use

We reserve the right to photograph and document the transformation process of your furniture for use on our website and social media platforms. Client names and locations are never shared without explicit permission.

Authorization

By submitting your deposit, you are authorizing the start of work and acknowledging that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Service Terms & Policies in their entirety.
