About Chadima Furniture and
Restoration
|
Originally called
The CFR Company, we started in 1982. After hearing "What does
CFR mean?" time after time, we changed our name to Chadima
Furniture and Restoration, answering the question once and for all.
Our intent was
to be solely a refinishing company, performing
"restoration" rather than refinishing. Our process of
refinishing is a method that restores rather than refinishes.
Since
our inception, we have diversified many times, and are now a
full-service woodworking company.
Our process of refinishing is a
method that restores rather than refinishes.
When we received our first grand piano to refinish, it was time to
move to bigger facilities more conducive to restoring larger pieces.
We have relocated twice since 1982, and have been in our current
location since 1984. |

We maintain
very high standards for our customers. By purchasing high quality
products and tooling, we produce the best result possible.
Our Guarantee:
Our
craftsmanship is unconditionally guaranteed. Our repairs are marked
with the length of the guarantee or a stamp explaining why we cannot
guarantee a particular piece.
With each of our
guaranteed finishes, we will warranty it for the time we list
against naturally cracking, chipping, peeling, fading, water, and
warm heat (not hot heat). Our 5 guaranteed finishes are: 6 months -
5 years – 10 year, and 2 choices of Lifetime (price varies with
each option) All finishes receive a warranty pamphlet with the
applicable finish marked for your particular project. Warranty
pamphlets must be kept and presented upon each individual request
for a damage claim for any and all warranty work. All our finishes
are options that you may choose at the time of your estimate, and
are priced accordingly.
All projects will be done in as timely of a
fashion as possible. One of our most stringent policies is
that WE WILL NOT compromise quality for speed. Projects may
become delayed to do additional unseen work not noticed at the time
of your estimate. We will call all our customers for approval for
unseen work prior to additional billing.
Repairs Covered By Insurance
Claims will be accepted from
businesses or directly from the general public. Chadima Furniture
will perform woodworking services for insurance claims for moving
companies, furniture manufacturers, furniture re-sellers, the
public, or any other claim involved with furniture. Our basic
capability is servicing wood furniture or cabinets, however we will
gladly contract out other services that are furniture related, such
as furniture cleaning or upholstering. We can accept no
responsibility for timeliness of returned claims when we contract
out. We do choose highly reputable businesses with extremely good
qualifications for our contractors.
Personal/General Public Claims -
In the event the general public contacts us and we have not set up
an account for the particular company involved in your claim, we
require the customer to be responsible for the payment of all claim
monies due. The claim company you are dealing with must be first
time approved and have an account set up with us before
services will be rendered to you, if you wish your claim to be paid
by them and not you personally. This can add to the turn around time
for all projects. All personal/public claims should check with your
insurance company to make certain all fees will be reimbursed,
including estimating, pick up and delivery fees. For rates and/or
fees, please contact
us by phone or e-mail.
