Repair
I truly love the challenge and problem solving of repair. Be it a broken chair rail, and tabletop with no base, or the cracked foot of a cast iron clawfoot tub, Rootfire would be happy to approach repairs on furniture, metal objects and tools. Let's honor our objects with the respect of repair rather than replacement, and add to their patina and history.

Furniture
I offer furniture repair services. This could mean re-gluing loose chair, replacing a broken table leg or tending to a cracked tabletop. I take on some refinishing work depending on the job.

Metal Objects
Many metal objects can be repaired. Cast iron heat registers, broken pot handles and rusted exterior handrails are just a few examples.

Architectural
Sometime millwork, walls and other built-in features need a little love. I am comfortable helping find creative solutions to damaged items, or modifications to arrangements in your home that no longer suit you.
