How to Choose Antique Repairing & Restoring
If you have antiques that are not in the best condition, then you might want to contact an antique repairing and restoring company. Some companies focus on certain types of antiques. They might be experts at restoring antiques with mechanical function like typewriters, adding machines, music boxes, office machines, and phonographs. Others might be experts at solid wood restoration and repair of furniture, tables, cabinetry, and other items that are made of maple, pine, cherry, mahogany, teak, ash, and oak. When you contact the antique restoration and repair company, ask them how long they have been in business. Those with several years of experience should have conservators who can restore and repair your typewriters, phonographs, music boxes, and other wood and mechanical antiques. Ask them if they have a cabinet shop for cleaning, repairing, and making reproductions of your cabinetry. Ask them if they offer written quote services. Once you have talked to several businesses and gathered their quotes you will be able to pick the one that is best for you. Ask them if they guarantee their work so that you will be compensated if they cause further damage to the antiques while trying to repair them. Ask the companies where they are located so that you can visit them to discuss your antiques and show them what needs to be done. Pay close attention to the level of courtesy that companies use when they are answering your questions. You can use this to help you determine how much they really value their customers.

Antique restoration is an intricate process, because most owners want to keep their items as true to their original form and function as possible. If you have mechanical collectibles, such as record players, you may have difficulty finding a restoration professional for this particular job. Perhaps you can ask for suggestions from the antiques dealer who sold you the items. Wood items, such as vintage furniture, are sometimes a bit easier to restore. You may find a professional carpenter in your area that performs antiques restoration, using the same type of wood as the antique. The expense of restoration of wood products comes not only with the actual restoration work, but also in obtaining the same quality of wood as the collectibles.
