Dufine Furniture will build custom furniture to suit your needs. We are also a premium furniture restoration, furniture refinishing and furniture repair company.

The custom finishing and antique restoration business started out small but as decorators discovered the high quality of work, this small business began to grow substantially.

Throughout the years we have finished furniture, restored furniture and upholstered furniture for all types of people as well as custom built pieces by design of our customer or client whom range from high-powered business professionals to the ordinary working person.
