Products & Services
CERTIfied Products
CertiFinish™
CertiRestore™; has taken all of the guesswork out of what products and methods will give you consistent, reliable and beautiful results. After years of struggling with products and repair methods that did not perform to our standards, we decided to develop our own. We had tested the leading products on the market and discovered what worked and what did not.
We have formulated a proprietary line of repair and restoration products, plus methods of repair and restoration that we could certify with confidence and offer to CertiRestore™; franchisees.
In conjunction with one of the leading wood finish manufactures in the world, we at CertiRestore™; designed our own complete line. Including CertiFinish™; for finishing and restoration of fine wood furniture. CertiFinish™; is a solvent-based formula that we developed with several unique solvents and additives. Our unparalleled proprietary formulas make our product, CertiFinish™;, easier to use, faster drying, longer lasting, Low VOCs, Low HAPs, E 1 compliant, and certified for use in kitchens and bathrooms. These superior products deliver a beautiful finish.
In order to maintain consistency and quality, a computerized-control method is used for mixing every gallon of product. The manufacturer’s mixing process blends even the smallest molecules and particles and suspends them throughout the mix, allowing our CertiFinish,™; CertiDye™; and CertiStain™; products to penetrate deep into the wood pores. In addition, CertiFinish™; can be scuff sanded and recoated in as little as 15 minutes, so there is no wait time for the finish to dry! Purchasing in bulk keeps the cost of our premium CertiRestore™; products lower than the highest grade off-the-shelf finish and stain.
Applying finish is one step of the CertiRestore™; repair and restoration system of furniture finishing. Our CertiRestore™; finishing products allow franchisees to restore worn and damaged finishes better than new.
CertiFinish™; is guaranteed not to blush, crack, chip, peel, lift, craze and protects furniture from water damage or fading (when kept out of direct sunlight) because of its pliability and durability.
CertiFinish™; products cannot be found, or purchased in local hardware or paint stores, or by anyone who is not a franchisee.
CertiBond™
In order to maintain our quality standards and to complement our exclusive CertiFinish™ product line, we also developed CertiBond.™
CertiBond™ is a superior adhesive for filling voids, gaps, and repairing loose and broken wood furniture.
CertiBond’s proprietary formulas have several unique properties which makes them stronger than any product on the general market. CertiBond™ adhesives are easier to use because they give you additional working time. Plus, they cure faster and stronger than over-the-counter products. CertiBond™ adhesives will allow you to do the repairs that other shops turn away.
Our manufacturer uses a computerized control method of mixing so every gallon of product is consistent and of the highest quality. This allows CertiBond™ adhesives to penetrate deep into the wood pores, which creates a rock solid repair that can be certified for 50 years. CertiBond™ will not fail or crack in extreme conditions because of its pliability, elasticity and strength.
The products purchased in hardware and retail stores are not as dependable as CertiBond™ products and can cost much more.
