Repair Services
Wood Touch-Up
Doors, millwork and furniture can be touched-up when damage occurs. We will fill in missing areas, apply a custom mixed color and then apply a finish to match the existing sheen. This all can be done in your space with no disruptions to people working nearby.
Door Touch-Up
Touching up doors that are damaged is one of our specialties. We can take care of damage from daily use, prepare a door for new hardware, and repair damage that occurs during installation. We can touch-up, tone, or completely refinish the door, depending on your needs.
Color Toning
The color of wood can be subtly changed and made even by blending with a custom matched finish which we call a toner. This service is often used on doors and panels that are discolored from sun exposure when signage is removed.
Wood Panel Damage Repair
After signage is removed we clean off any residual adhesives, fill the holes if needed, and apply a custom matched stain and finish to blend with the original finish.
Repair Wood Finish
Water marks under the finish from hot pizza boxes or coffee, etc., can many times be removed from conference tables, desks and other table tops without refinishing these surfaces.
Wood Preservation
Restoration of historic furniture, windows and woodwork is a time honored craft. Restoration isn’t just refinishing, it’s the preservation of history using proper conservation methods and skills aquired through education and experience. We use “old world” techniques and products which enable us to match colors and finishes original to the period.
Wood Refinishing
If a finish cannot be touched-up, we will remove the old finish, custom match the stain, and apply a beautiful high quality finish. This can be done on-location with no strong residual odors, no dust, and very minimal down time. We also now offer a UV cured finish which offers a much shorter curing process.
Custom Projects

About Us
The Team at Fresh Air Finishers
Fresh Air Finishers is the premier company in the Twin Cities for repairing and preserving the finishes on millwork, doors and furniture. The company was founded in 2008 by David Smith and Dave Gunderson who employed Mitch Kohanek, their former wood finishing instructor from The National Institute of Wood Finishing at Dakota County Technical College. The combined years of experience of these initial stakeholders was 65 years. This breadth of knowledge has been passed on to their current touch up artists through formal education and hands-on learning. We are proud of the work we do restoring finishes with the blending of techniques born of science and art. Woodfinishing.org
