San Antonio · Austin · Texas
Master craftsmen restoring broken chairs, split tables, cracked cabinets, and antique heirlooms across San Antonio and Austin since 2013.
Wood furniture repair done right is joinery-first, finish-last — rebuilt the way the piece was originally made, with hand-selected hardwoods and reversible methods that hold up for decades. Estimates are free for typical projects, with no pressure.

Re-glued joints, replaced rungs, new tenons, and stabilized spindles for dining, rocking, and antique chairs that feel solid again.

Surface Work
Since 2013 our workshop has repaired thousands of pieces — everything from a single broken dining chair to full estate restorations. We approach every repair with the same standard: rebuild it the way it was built, using materials and methods that respect the original piece.
We keep a stock of aged oak, walnut, maple, cherry, and mahogany so every replacement part is grain-matched before it is ever cut.
Traditional hot hide glue keeps antique pieces repairable for the next generation — modern adhesives are used only where structure demands it.
Shellac, oil, lacquer, and conversion varnish — chosen to match the age and use of the piece rather than forced through a single process.
Broken joinery is rebuilt the way it was originally made. No screws driven through show surfaces, no metal brackets hiding in plain sight.
Touch-ups are hand-toned with artist pigments so patches disappear into surrounding finish instead of announcing themselves.
Every repair begins with a detailed written estimate — scope, timeline, and cost in plain language before any work begins.
Straight answers about cost, timing, and what we can fix.
Most wood furniture repair jobs in San Antonio and Austin fall between $150 and $800 depending on scope. A single broken chair leg or a loose dining chair joint is usually at the low end. Full structural repair, veneer patching, or antique conservation costs more. We quote typical jobs with a written estimate before any work starts (free for typical projects) — no surprises.
Yes — broken chair legs are one of the most common wood furniture repair jobs we handle. We re-glue clean breaks with hide glue, splice in matching hardwood for splintered breaks, and turn replacement legs when originals cannot be saved. Dining, rocking, and antique chairs are all welcome, and repairs are finished to match the existing piece.
Antique wood repair is a core specialty at Weathersby Guild. We use reversible hide glue, period-correct fasteners, and conservation-grade methods that preserve both the structural integrity and the resale value of the piece. We will always recommend the least invasive repair that solves the problem — heirlooms deserve that respect.
Simple wood furniture repair — a loose joint, a single drawer, a re-glued chair — is usually quicker than complex structural repair, multi-piece sets, or antique restoration with finishing work. Timing depends on the specific repair and our current workload, and we confirm your timeline when we schedule your appointment.
Yes — we serve Austin and the greater Austin metro including Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown, Lakeway, Bastrop, and Dripping Springs. Pickup and delivery are available from our San Antonio workshop, and we confirm your timeline when we schedule your appointment.
We repair solid hardwood and veneered furniture of every era — dining sets, chairs, tables, dressers, cabinets, sideboards, desks, bookcases, bed frames, and antique casework. Particle board and inexpensive flat-pack furniture is generally not worth repair, and we will tell you honestly when a piece is better replaced than repaired.
Send a few photos or visit the workshop by appointment. We will review the piece and respond within 24 hours with a detailed written estimate.
We proudly serve San Antonio, Austin, and surrounding communities across Central Texas.
