When to Call a Professional Refinisher
Call a professional before attempting repairs if:
- Your furniture finish is cracking, forming a pattern resembling alligator skin or peeling.
 - There are deep gashes, cuts, dents or burns in the finish film.
 - Nail polish or polish remover has been spilled on the hardwood.
 - Oil-based paint has dried on the surface.
 
- The hardwood surface is marred by magic markers.
 - You are unsure as to what kind of finish film (shellac, varnish, lacquer, etc.) is on your hardwood product.
 - There are squeaks in your hardwood floors, whether carpeted or not.
