About Our Business
Hi my name is Paul Hanson and I have been in the Furniture Restoration business for 18
years. I attended the Minuteman Refinishing Institute in Wisconsin in 1990 and took back what
I learned from that training to open my own business. I was a successful painting contractor in
the area with a crew of 6 but wanted a change in careers to something I could master myself
and built a shop in Princeton, MA.

It is very rewarding seeing old tired pieces of furniture being brought back to life. Many of these
pieces have sentimental value to my clients and have been in their families for years. The look
on people’s faces when they are returned brings the job full circle for me to see something of
their past will be part of their future and hopefully generations to come. The same holds true
for broken or damaged items. Many people think that a broken leg on an old settee or a burn
mark on a table ruins the piece. I can fix, restore and return a piece that can function again.

Nothing leaves my shop unless I am completely satisfied with it and I am my worst critic. You
are welcome to visit my shop first hand before you commit to having work done. I stand behind
all of my work! The workmanship of how furniture was made years ago to that of today- let me
say there is no comparison. So in my opinion- go to an antique shop or a 2nd had store and
find something that will fit the bill for what you are looking for and give me a call to refinish it.
YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!!!!
