Specialties

Aero Finish does furniture repair, antiques, restoration and refinishing. We can restore moving, storage or transit damage. We also enhance consignment furniture and heirloom pieces. Aero Finish is a small local business with refinishing facilities in Oakland and an antique restoration shop in Lafayette. We generally come to your home to evaluate what is best for your particular item: Whether it is to repair, or fully restore and refinish, your wood furniture. We also pick up and deliver most pieces.

Dining tables, chairs, pianos, trunks or old family pieces can now be repaired and restored to their former elegance. Worn and tired furniture are pieces waiting to become heirlooms for your family. Restored cribs, wood highchairs, trunks, coffee tables and desks make fabulous gifts.

Call Rich today or feel free to email pictures of your furniture in need of restoration to aerofinish@yahoo.com. We are committed to providing the best possible service to each customer
