Problems we solve
Problems We Solve for EAST IRVINE Homeowners

Pricing process
Furniture Restoration Pricing
$300 - $1,500 per piece depending on scope
Size and Number of Pieces
A single chair takes less time than a full dining set. We price per piece, so you know exactly what each item costs before we start.
Material and Construction
Solid wood and quality upholstery cost less to restore than particle board or low-density foam, which absorb smoke deeper and often can't be saved.

Light soot wipes off. Heavy soot requires HEPA vacuuming, chemical sponges, and extended hydroxyl or ozone treatment. Severity drives labor hours.
