Here you can see the smoke and fire damage up close
A house fire, flood, or burst pipe can turn life upside down without warning. Once the immediate danger has passed, homeowners are often left assessing damage to their property, including furniture, antiques, and family heirlooms that may hold significant financial or sentimental value.
Although a damaged piece may look beyond repair, replacement is not always the only option. Foxwood Restoration provides professional furniture repair and restoration services for residential and commercial properties affected by fire, smoke, water, and other insurance-related losses.
Fire can damage furniture in several ways. Flames may burn or discolor the surface, while heat can cause wood to crack, warp, or separate at the joints. Even furniture that was not directly touched by the fire may be covered in soot or affected by lingering smoke odors.
Our experienced restoration specialists carefully evaluate each piece to determine the most effective repair process. Depending on the extent of the damage, restoration may include:
Our goal is to preserve as much of the original furniture as possible while returning it to a condition you can confidently use and display again.
Flooding, leaking roofs, burst pipes, and firefighting efforts can expose furniture to significant amounts of water. When the damage is addressed quickly, many wood and upholstered pieces may still be restored.
Water-damaged furniture may experience:
Foxwood Restoration uses time-tested repair and refinishing techniques to stabilize damaged furniture, correct cosmetic problems, and restore its original character whenever possible.

Finding someone to restore flood and fire damaged furniture can be a challenge. Most of the time, furniture gets like this through house fires or sudden flooding, making it a stressful time. For some owners, they would rather toss these items due to it being “easier”, especially if it is cheap furniture pieces. However, for people who own antique furniture or sentimental pieces, throwing these items away is not a trivial matter. Fortunately, Foxwood Restoration is known for repairing flood and fire damaged furniture.
Depending on the type of furniture that has been exposed to the flood water, there will be various types of damage. If the furniture is made out of wood, you can expect to see physical damage such as swelling and warping, which can lead to breaking. In addition, the finish might become discolored and cloudy. Mold and mildew growth is also a common occurrence.
For upholstered furniture, you will see sagging in the upholstery and water stains from flood. It also will start emitting unpleasant odors. All of these problems can produce lasting damage if not taken care of soon.
Just like flood damage, there are various types of damage your furniture can face with fire. Most people will immediately think burn damage, which can lead to missing pieces and damage to veneer. However, there is other damage that you might not think about. Scorch mark can appear, leaving scars on the wood. You also have to deal with soot residue, which can permanently stain wood.
You can also expect charring, etching, tarnishing, and corroding. In addition, your furniture can have some water damage from fire extinguishing measures, leading to more problems!

Our company has decades of experience meticulously restoring antique furniture for Michigan locals. It’s true, some furniture that has flood or fire damage can’t be repaired.
