Ozone Treatments

Ozone treatments are very effective for removing stubborn odors like smoke, mold and animal odors. Treating furniture with large amounts of ozone not only eliminates odors, but also kills germs.

High Ozone Shock Treatments should only be used when people, animals and plants aren't present, due to their toxic nature. Air Purifying uses a minimal level of ozone, and does not require such restrictions.

What's Your Favorite Color?

Did you know JC Wood mixes our own colors and can custom match your color request? A designer just selected raspberry, blueberry and chocolate at JC Wood’s shop.

So get creative and pick a color that makes a statement. What about an eggnog kitchen table?

Don’t stop there, upholster you chairs, have fun, and put some rum in your eggnog!

Furniture Quality

Furniture manufactured overseas, while relatively inexpensive, is made to last only a short period of time, compared to furniture manufactured in the United States. Inexpensive upholstered furniture can mask several problems, including poor structure, unsteardy joints and inadequate foam/dacron.

Furniture made the old fashioned way is built to last with nails, screws and glue, not staples. The next time you need a new piece of furniture, ask yourself if you’re buiyng this for a few years and a lifetime in a landfill, or a lifetime of use to pass on to the next generation.

Wood Color May Change With Age

One of our clients recently had some doors, finished according to specifications, installed in a new office building. When they were installed, the property manager noticed that they were lighter than doors that had been in storage for some time, awaiting installation.

Different types of wood age differently. Cherry wood darkens with age, no matter what semi-transparent finish is applied. Walnut reacts just the opposite; over time, the wood gets lighter, especially when exposed to light.
