Outdoor Furniture Restoration

Outdoor furniture restoration cleans, repairs, and refinishes patio furniture including teak, wicker, and metal pieces.

With outdoor furniture weathering quickly and quality pieces expensive, restoration generates revenue of $80,000-$280,000 with 70-85% margins.

The business requires outdoor workspace, pressure washing equipment, refinishing supplies, repair materials, and seasonal focus.

Services include teak restoration and oiling, wicker repair and reweaving, metal furniture refinishing and rust removal, cushion replacement and outdoor fabric, and seasonal furniture prep.

Pricing typically $100-$500 per piece.

Success factors include understanding outdoor materials (teak, wicker, metal), spring seasonal surge preparation, offering pickup/delivery, quick turnaround for seasonal needs, and targeting affluent homeowners.

Most operate seasonally spring/summer.

Marketing focuses on neighborhood targeting, spring timing, and before/after transformations.

With outdoor furniture expensive and weathering common in 2025, outdoor restoration offers seasonal opportunities with lower barrier to entry.
