I am an antique furniture and oil painting restorer in the Washington DC area.
I get payed to fix stuff basically.
It makes a good living here where everyone and their mother has a **** load of antiques and too much cash. Most of it is claim work though.

Put me in touch with the people who need work done. I am able to do most work on site with out removingthe piece. I am about the best there is not to rattle my own bell. My French Polishing skills are top notch. I can do just about anything you can think of.
best way to contact me for work would be via email fd3boost@comcast.net
I generally work in DC , Northern Virginia and the surrounding areas.
I'm always looking to make money so If you know someone in a bind and needs some damage repaired before it leaves the showroom please fell free to forward my email address.

charge by the hour or by the job? take a look at those websites i posted. most of the it's like fright damage (broken leg) and they'll want u to pt it back together and make sure u cant see where it broke or mismatching finishes on 2 identical pieces. its not only the showroom furniture. at a showroom if u do the repair, u make no money because most of the merchandise is consigned. only use the showroom to get to their clients. (thats where the repairs are needed because they own the furniture) ill give ur email out to a couple showrooms in ur area tomorrow

Well It depends on really on the particulars of the job as to what I charge. Honestly I don't come cheap. I don't think that would be an issue with most places if they sell high end furniture. What sites did you post? Did I miss something? So feel free to give that email address out. Thanks again
