Frequently Asked Questions

We don't know if your patio furniture is worth restoring unless we can get our eyes on it. That's why sending us photos of your furniture using our Contact page is extremely helpful in determining the cost-effectiveness of restoring your outdoor furniture. Not all outdoor furniture is created equal and, based on original quality or extent of damage, sometimes restoration is not the best option. We're here to help you figure that out, we'll always be honest and we'll never push you to make a decision that doesn't make financial sense.

If you're wondering if your existing cushions can be recovered instead of replaced, that depends on several factors. First is the age of the cushion. Typically, if your cushions are 7 to 8 years old, the filling is likely reaching the end of its life. Second, if you have little to no actual foam and the cushions just collapse when you sit on them, then they would not be good candidates for recover. We can help you determine the best course of action to take.

We are proud to offer only the highest quality outdoor fabrics for your cushions or slings. While we do provide links to some of the choices, they should only be used for reference only. When you bring your furniture to our shop or when we come to you for pick up, we can show you physical samples of all your fabric options.

Due to the rigid manufacturing of all Martha Stewart Living sling chairs, some Hampton Bay chairs and other budget-friendly products, we are unable to replace the slings without altering the frame structure which presents potential safety concerns, therefore, they are not serviceable. We do not service indoor furniture, umbrellas, grills, fireplaces, patio heaters, ceiling fans, outdoor appliances and electronics, pools, concrete/tile floors, gazebos or patio structures. We can not replace or repair broken wicker/rattan, vinyl tubing or glass table tops. We do not convert furniture media from its original design (e.g., wicker to strap). We do not "paint" anything. We do not stock replacement parts for resale.

Our normal lead time for most services is typically 4 weeks. During peak seasons (spring and fall or during holidays), it can take up to 7 weeks. The exception is Deep Cleaning and Spruce-Up services, which can usually be scheduled within a week or two.

Yes we do! There is a moderate delivery charge based on your location.

Customer satisfaction is our top priority, so we offer a 1-year warranty on all craftsmanship and materials.

There's no such thing as universal parts when it comes to outdoor furniture. Every manufacturer has unique parts that vary even within their collections. For this reason, we are unable to stock parts for resale. If you are looking for things like sling rail caps, foot glides, glider bearing arms, rocker spring plates, swivel chair seat post bushings, umbrella hole rings and many other outdoor furniture parts, check out Patio Furniture Supplies.

When thinking about how Patio Furniture Rescue benefits the environment, the most important aspect is that we’re helping the landfills. Without our restoration service, people would be throwing their old outdoor furniture out and buying new. For our deep cleaning service, we use all biodegradable cleaners and limit the use of our power washer for rinse only. Our equipment is rated at 2.3 GPM water use and is high velocity which performs more conservatively and efficiently compared to less powerful equipment. All items are cleaned by hand and brush scrubbed. The work is always performed away from plants, vegetation, trees, etc. For our frame restoration service, we use powder coat which is low VOC, is non-toxic, does not require special handling or disposal and excess sprayed powder can be recycled. Powder coating is a sustainable process that meets the spirit of LEED by reducing the environmental impacts related to harmful volatiles in airborne emissions. It also holds up a lot better than standard "wet" paints, which translates to less frequent application. Our top outdoor fabric brands are Sunbrella and Phifertex which are both committed to sustainability, eliminating waste and are GREENGUARD certified. Our table top sealer is high endurance, low maintenance and easily cleaned with a cloth and warm water without the use of household or harsh cleaners. The solution we use is not classified as a hazardous waste under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act or its regulations, 40 CFR §261 et seq.
