Your Dining Room Table, Refinished
Rafael’s Furniture Refinishing is a local business that has served the Watertown, MA community for over 20 years. We specialize in antique and mid-century furniture refinishing and restoration.
Even when a piece is still sturdy and usable, decades of wear can leave scratches, dings, water marks, faded finish, and dull wood tone. A professional refinishing job restores the original character, enhances the natural grain, and improves both beauty and value.
While dining room tables are a big part of what we do, Rafael can also restore end tables and drop-leaf tables. Each piece is carefully prepped, repaired as needed, and finished with a durable protective topcoat that preserves the wood while creating a smooth, glass-like finish. We proudly serve Watertown, MA and nearby areas..
In Watertown, MA in Middlesex County, Rafael helps families keep heirloom pieces in use instead of letting them sit in a corner. If you have a dining table that’s been passed down, it can be cleaned up, repaired, and refinished in a way that respects the original look while protecting it for everyday life.
Rafael brings two decades of hands-on experience restoring antique and mid-century furniture across Greater Boston, including nearby Belmont, Cambridge, Arlington, and Waltham. Beyond dining room tables and full sets, he also refinishes and restores end tables and drop-leaf tables, handling everything from surface damage and worn finish to structural touch-ups so the piece is solid, attractive, and ready for years of use.
“I wanted to restore my great grandmother’s dining set which consisted of five dining chairs and a large dining table. The chairs were in need of structural repair as well as reupholstering and the dining table was in desperate need of cleaning, refinishing and polishing. I looked up “antique furniture repair” online and found that Rafael was only four miles from my home in Everett. I went to his website and contacted him by email. Rafael responded very quickly and offered to come to my home so that he could give an accurate estimate for the work that needed to be done. Rafael was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. He told me upfront what needed to be done and how much it would cost. I was very impressed with his estimate and very excited to finally restore my dining set! Rafael was in contact with me via text or email the entire time. I was always aware and informed of the progress. He did an amazing job refinishing my table as well as stabilizing and restoring the chairs. I was as well extremely impressed with Rafael’s friend, Semir, who did the reupholstering of the five chairs. They came out beautifully! I have many antique furnishings that are in need of restoration and I will be bringing my business back to Rafael and Semir. Thank you!” – Sarah
