About Macfee Refinishing

Building a solid reputation by providing exquisite furniture restoration service

Macfee Refinishing was established in 1980 by Dave Macfee and grew steadily as a home-base part-time business. In 1986, Dave moved the shop to a commercial building in the South Topeka area and committed to the operation full time. The demand for our high quality furniture repair and restoration services led to 3 more expansions in the South Topeka location.

In 2002, Macfee Refinishing relocated to our current 11,000 sq. ft. showroom and shop in Downtown Topeka, Kansas. The new facility is the realization of all the knowledge and experience we gained over the previous 20 years. This investment, combined with our 35 years in business, is your assurance that Macfee Refinishing is serious about restoring and repairing your furniture.

We also do small repairs, such as repairing and/or regluing loose chairs.

We provide cleaning and touchup services to repair nicks, scratches and other spot damage to wood furniture. We apply theses skills, along with other advances techniques, to preserve and improve the luster on antique pieces when complete refinishing may not be warranted or desired. Refinish and Restore are somewhat subjective terms where assumptions can lead to unhappy results. Therefore, it is important to look at each project and have an open discussion about what your goals are before we make specific recommendations.

We provide custom wood finishing on new cabinets and furniture through my association with Mark Johnson Cabinetmaker. Mark and I have worked together since 1990 and his business is located next door.

We help our customers connect with upholstery services when those services are requested. We offer a wide selection of upholstery fabrics and leather in our showroom.

In every service, our goal is to provide our best skilled workmanship along with professional, courteous service. We take time at the beginning to listen to you and welcome your questions about any aspect of our proposal.

We invite you to visit our showroom and shop anytime to see our commitment to quality for yourself. We keep a clean and organized shop and your items are well cared for at all times. Many first-time visitors comment on how they were impressed with our facility and the variety of projects we work on.
