reupholstery work.
Wood Furniture Refinishing & Antique Restoration
Regardless of whether you have a favorite, but worn-out piece of wood furniture, a
family heirloom or an antique piece of wood furniture, more than likely, we can restore it
to its original beauty. We've seen the whole range of wood furniture restoration projects
from the antique hall storage bench which literally came in pieces (see below) to
furniture that was in fine shape, but the owner just wanted to change the color of the
finish.
Our master wood refinisher and restoration craftsman, Ramon Hernandez, has over 20
years experience. His ingenuity in repairing, restoring and refinishing wood furniture is
remarkable. Together with Jerry Fendon's years of experience, they form a remarkable
wood furniture and restoration team. Fendon's never cuts corners when working on
your cherished wood furniture and furniture antiques.
When we refinish your wood furniture, we completely strip off the old finish and then reglue
and re-dowel any wood joints that are not completely sound. We then prepare the
wood for new stain or paint per your preferences and go through a multi-step finishing
process. We make sure the hardware works as well as it possibly can (old or antique
hardware doesn't work like some of today's new hardware) then prepare it for delivery
to your home, vacation home or condominium.
Whether you have a favorite bedroom or dining room set, cocktail and end table or a
family heirloom or antique piece of wood furniture, we can probably restore it to its
original beauty. Since we do no obligation free estimates between Lone Pine and Lee
Vining including Bishop and Mammoth Lakes, there's no risk and no cost to you to find
out if we can bring new life to your favorite pieces of wood furniture. We also do
estimates from digital photos via email for our Southern California second homeowners
who own vacation homes in Lone Pine, Mammoth Lakes, June Lake and throughout the
Eastern Sierra. Give us a call or send us an email today to find out more and don't

Furniture Reupholstering and Unique Projects Such as Walls, Gym Equipment Pads,
Resturant Boothes, Cars and Boat Seats
Many reupholstery shops simply place some new padding or filling over the existing
cover or old upholstery fabric and then apply the new upholstery fabric. Fendon's has
never taken this approach when reupholstering a customer's furniture. When we
reupholster your furniture, we strip it down to the frame and springs so we can check
the condition of the frame, glue joints, the spring system and the foundational padding.
Any loose wood joints are re-glued and re-doweled as necessary to restore them to
original soundness. Springs are re-tied, re-stretched or replaced as necessary and any
padding that is not in excellent condition is restored or replaced.
We then cut and sew new patterns and pieces for your furniture and apply them with
time-tested methods only the most experienced furniture artisans understand. Patterns
in fabric are matched, exposed wood is touched-up or refinished as needed and
cushioning materials are restored or replaced according to your (our customer's)
requirements.
