Refurbishing

  Some of  us may be lucky enough to have a family member's trunk passed  down  through the generations -- maybe they brought our relatives  possessions  on their transatlantic journey to America, or maybe they've  just been  sitting in Grandma's attic for years and years.  One thing is  for sure,  while they may have been made to last, they're not usually  very  attractive.  Years of use and abuse can take their toll.  We may  not  want to lose a part of our ancestry, but the thought of a beat-up,   smelly trunk in our home is not very appealing.  While it may  compromise  its antique value, we can make your old trunk a nice piece  of furniture  for your home (with great storage potential) plus you'll  be displaying a  piece of your family heritage.    

 Trunk  refurbishing costs vary with each trunk dependent on size,  condition,  interior trunk design, and how much labor and how many replacement parts  are involved.  In  order to give an accurate estimate of refurbishing  costs, it will be  necessary for us to see the trunk.  Estimates are  free of charge if you  would like to bring your trunk to us.  Please use  our contact form or  call for an appointment.   If your trunk is  outside of our immediate  area and cannot be brought to us, we will need  a picture of each side of  the trunk and a picture of the inside.   Should you decide to ship the  trunk to us for refurbishing, the  shipping costs to and from will be up  to you.  

Costs are estimates for  initial refurbishing.   We  reserve the right to charge additional should the trunk require   extensive repair, stripping, rust removal, or anything that requires   many hours of additional time. 

  Trunks left for more than 10 days after notification of completion will be charged a $5 per week storage fee.
