Wood Furniture Repair Services

Repair, Restore, Refinish, Refresh.

Antique Restoration

We specialize in breathing new life into heirloom furniture. Whether it’s a hand-carved bed frame, a dining table worn down by generations, or a piece that’s sat untouched in a barn for 40 years, Gord’s craftsmanship brings out the original beauty while preserving its story. Old furniture was built to last, and with care, we can have it shining like it was brand new.

Custom Fabrication

Broken or missing parts don’t mean the end of a piece. Gord can fabricate replacements that match the original—whether it’s a chair leg, drawer front, or custom spindle. He also modifies existing furniture to better suit your space or needs, and can even duplicate pieces to complete a set

Cabinet Refinishing

A fresh finish can completely transform your space. We work with homeowners and cabinet shops to refinish doors, drawers, and full sets—delivering flawless, brush-free finishes in your choice of sheen, including durable poly and high-gloss options. Our refinishing service is ideal for updating kitchens, vanities, or built-ins without the cost of a full replacement.

Commercial Clients

Nanaimo Woodwerks is trusted by designers, restaurants, restoration companies, and furniture retailers across Vancouver Island. We deliver professional, reliable service at scale. Our experience has made us the go-to partner for businesses that need top-tier finishing done right and on time.

Restoring Family Memories Since 1991

Gord started his trade in the same building under Hall’s Custom Finishing back in 1991 and has been transforming antique pieces ever since.

Every new piece brings a unique challenge, and helping people bring family heirlooms back to showroom condition has kept him happily learning for over 30 years.

Whether it’s restoring grandma’s old bread knife or refinishing antique pianos, Gord approaches every project with the care, quality, and artistry it deserves.

Our Customers Come Back Time and Again

If you have a piece of wood furniture that you love, this is the place to go to have it restored/repaired...

Gord was able to not only repair [my] table but also bring out the natural beauty the table always had underneath.

The finished product was beyond exceptional and now I have a solid oak coffee table that looks beautiful and will last a lifetime.

Small or large job they do it all and I can't thank them enough. Thanks guys!

This place was amazing! I had a huge moving mishap where they ripped off the legs of my 1929 Curio Cabinet and they were able to fix them for a good price and even kept it safe while we waited for a truck to move it back to me. I will always go to Nanaimo Woodwerks! Amazing!

This was not the first time I have used the services of this outstanding business. This time however, they went above and beyond in restoring an antique dining room table set to much better than what we had hoped for. They even matched the color of the table stain to the chairs that they repaired as well. If you have a prized wood possession that needs some love these are the "go to" guys. A pleasure to deal with craftsmen of this caliber.

After 42 years of family use, we decided it was time to refinish our dining room table and six chairs. We picked Woodwerks of Nanaimo do the the job and could not be more pleased. The workmanship was top notch. Andrew was easy to work with and the furniture was ready on time and on budget. We highly recommend Woodwerks of Nanaimo.

I highly recommend this service. I had an antique table refinished and they did such a great job that I decided to have an old antique cabinet with claw feet done. The cabinet had a badly damaged leg and was missing a metal foot. They fixed the damaged leg and found a metal foot for me. The cabinet looks better than ever! I highly recommend this service!

I must give this local business the highest possible recommendation for consistently providing excellent service for this repeat customer. I have taken numerous pieces of antique furniture items to 'Woodwerks' for restoration and/or repair over the past eight years, and not once have I been disappointed. Their workmanship is of the highest caliber, the customer service and courtesy is beyond compare, and they are very reasonably priced as well. If you are seeking professional refinishing or reparation services, design and build projects, or anything related to wood artistry, this is the place to go. Thank you Gordon!

We just picked up our coffee table and two smaller tables. They are absolutely perfect! The finish on them looks very durable and the workmanship is second to none. It didn't take very long for them to do the job either. Thank you for giving these special tables a new life!
