Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

By Brad Smith, Home Services Expert · ✓ Data verified August 2026 · 8 min read

A century-old family table or a mid-century Eames chair damaged in a move needs a restorer who understands the original construction, not just someone with wood glue. Los Angeles furniture restoration services on this page have logged nearly 790 reviews between them, and the ratings run from 4.7 to 4.9, so the real decision is specialty: modern design classics, general repair, or fine antiques from before the 20th century.

Short answer: Furniture Repair Expert leads on volume with 4.9 stars across 247 reviews, handling everything from record players to reupholstery. If your piece is a specific mid-century design, Humemodern specializes in Eames and Knoll restoration with 4.9 stars across 240 reviews. For serious antiques, Sully Restoration has been doing this since 1986 and trained in French restoration technique.

How we score

Rating is the live Google average. Review volume measures how many customers actually rated the business, weighted against everyone else in our pool. Confidence combines both, so a strong rating on a deep review base scores higher than the same rating on a handful of reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does furniture restoration cost in Los Angeles? (2026)

Pricing depends heavily on the piece, the damage, and whether original materials need to be sourced or recreated. A simple upholstery cushion swap costs far less than a full antique cabinet restoration with custom-matched wood.

Serving all of Los Angeles

These shops are spread from Canoga Park in the San Fernando Valley to Venice, West Adams and Wilmington, with most offering pickup, delivery or shipping for clients across the greater LA area. If you’re searching for furniture restoration near me anywhere from the Westside to the South Bay, this list covers the range from general repair to museum-grade antique work.

What to ask before you hire a furniture restorer

Have you worked on this specific era or type of piece before?
Will you try to preserve original finish and materials, or replace them?
What’s the estimated timeline, and does it change if you find hidden damage?
Do you offer pickup and delivery for large or fragile pieces?
Is the work guaranteed, and for how long?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge + top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these furniture restorers?

We pulled real Google Business Profile data for furniture restoration services across Los Angeles and ranked them by rating, review volume and consistency.

How often is this updated?

We refresh this page periodically using live Google data; it was last verified in August 2026.

Can I ship a piece to a restorer instead of dropping it off?

Yes, several shops here, including Humemodern, regularly work with clients outside California and coordinate professional shipping.

Should I choose a specialist for a mid-century piece over a general repair shop?

For design-era pieces like Eames or Knoll furniture, a specialist who understands the original hardware and construction will usually get a truer result than a general repair shop.

The bottom line

Furniture Repair Expert is the safe default for most repair and reupholstery jobs, with the deepest review base on this page. If your piece is a design classic or a genuine antique, go straight to the specialist, Humemodern for mid-century, Sully Restoration for fine antiques, rather than a generalist.
