At Niki Francis Restorations, we’re dedicated to finding innovative ways to save and restore your property and possessions to pre-loss conditions. If you have experienced a disaster from water, mold, fire smoke then you need to get back to normal as soon as possible.

Most restoration companies believe it is necessary to discard everything and start from scratch. That can be very costly in terms of time, money and headaches. For example: if a section of the kitchen floor has been damaged by water then we fix that section, not an overhaul of the entire kitchen.

Our team can can handle any situation involving the restoration of your property or valuable possessions. Whether it’s in the form of fire damage, water damage, or in many cases mold and smoke. Often times it’s also a matter of being able to notice where there’s damage the owner might not even know about. We can offer trained eyes to come in, assess the situation and then get to work improving things.

Antique Restoration

It is tragic when a beloved family heirloom or part of a collection is damaged, or falls into disrepair simply due to age. These things are not replaceable, but they can always be restored, though it is best not to attempt fixing them on your own. Recreating finishes, repairing chips and gouges, broken legs or arms , re-caning , upholstery and other parts of antique restoration calls for master craftsman. That's why we offer our services, such as:

• Complete refinishing and repairs
• Onsite touch up
