Expert Restoration for Scratches, Stains & Pet Damage
We love our pets, but they can be tough on furniture. Weathersby Guild specializes in repairing pet damage throughout San Antonio, Austin, and surrounding areas. From deep scratches and claw marks to stains and odors, our expert craftsmen restore your furniture to beautiful condition while helping you protect it from future damage.
We evaluate all pet damage including visible scratches, hidden structural issues, stain penetration, and odor sources. Using UV lights, we identify urine contamination not visible to the naked eye. We document damage severity and determine if issues have caused wood warping, joint weakness, or finish breakdown. Assessment guides our repair approach.
Professional enzyme treatments break down organic matter causing odors. For urine damage, we treat both surface and deep penetration using specialized solutions that neutralize ammonia and bacteria. HEPA vacuuming removes embedded pet hair. Upholstery receives deep extraction cleaning. Odor-causing bacteria is eliminated at the source, not just masked.
Deep scratches are filled with color-matched wood putty or epoxy. For severe gouges, we use wood filler sculpted to match original contours. Chewed edges and corners are rebuilt using wood patches, carefully shaped and sanded smooth. Claw marks in soft woods are steamed to raise compressed fibers before filling. All repairs are precisely color-matched.
Urine stains in wood require specialized bleaching or oxalic acid treatment to remove discoloration. For fabric, we use professional-grade stain removers safe for various materials. Tannin-based pet stains receive specific treatments. In severe cases, we may need to sand wood or replace fabric sections. We ensure complete stain removal before refinishing.
Damaged finish is stripped from affected areas. We sand surfaces smooth, blend repaired areas seamlessly with surrounding wood. Custom-matched stains ensure invisible repairs. Multiple coats of durable finish protect against future damage. For high-traffic pet areas, we recommend extra-durable polyurethane or conversion varnish finishes.
Final protective coatings seal repairs and provide scratch resistance. We apply antimicrobial treatments to prevent bacteria and odor return. Furniture is inspected under various lighting to ensure flawless results. We provide recommendations for protective covers, deterrent sprays, and training aids to prevent future damage and preserve your investment.
Yes! Most pet scratches can be successfully repaired, even deep ones. We fill gouges with color-matched wood putty or epoxy, carefully sculpt and sand the area smooth, then refinish to blend seamlessly. For very deep scratches that penetrate multiple layers, we may need to replace wood sections, but repairs are typically invisible when complete.
Pet urine odor requires multi-step treatment. We use enzyme cleaners that break down uric acid crystals causing smell. For wood, this often means treating both surface and any penetration into grain. Severe cases may require sanding to remove contaminated wood layers. We finish with antimicrobial sealers to prevent odor return. Air quality testing confirms complete removal.
Our expert craftsmen specialize in invisible repairs. We carefully color-match all fillers, stains, and finishes to surrounding areas. Repairs are blended using professional techniques, and final finish creates uniform appearance. While no repair is truly 'invisible' under close inspection, most clients cannot identify repaired areas after completion.
Timeline depends on damage extent. Simple scratch repairs may take several weeks, moderate damage with stains typically requires more time, and extensive damage with structural repairs or full refinishing can take longer. Odor treatment requires adequate dwell time for effectiveness.
Absolutely. Chewed wood is one of our most common repairs. We remove damaged material, build up the area with wood filler or epoxy, sculpt it to match original shape, sand smooth, and refinish. For severe damage, we may graft in new wood pieces. The repaired area will be just as strong as the original.
Yes, we use pet-safe, non-toxic products throughout the repair process. Enzyme cleaners and odor neutralizers are specifically formulated to be safe around animals. During refinishing, we use low-VOC or water-based finishes when possible. We ensure all products are fully cured and safe before your pet has access to furniture.
We provide several recommendations: Apply durable protective finishes that resist scratches, use furniture covers on favorite pet spots, provide scratching posts for cats, keep dogs' nails trimmed, use deterrent sprays on areas you want pets to avoid, and consider professional training for destructive behaviors. We can also apply extra-durable finishes to high-risk areas.
Yes, leather repair is one of our specialties. Scratches can be filled and colored, tears can be patched or stitched, and worn areas can be refinished. We use leather fillers, dyes, and conditioners to restore appearance. Severe damage may require professional reupholstering, which we can also provide or arrange through trusted partners.
