HDL Antique Furniture Restoration
Wood furniture repair and antique restoration, listed on Davis Street in San Leandro under Hector De Leon.
Acerca de
A wobbly chair leg, a water ring on a walnut tabletop, veneer lifting at the corner of a dresser handed down three generations: HDL Antique Furniture Restoration is a small shop set up for that kind of repair. It was listed at 1933 Davis Street, Suite 235, in San Leandro, with Hector De Leon as owner. Newer directory entries point to West Winton Avenue in Hayward, so the shop may have moved; confirm the current address and phone before you load anything into the car. The details on this page come from public business records and directories and are waiting for the owner's confirmation.
What antique restoration usually covers
A business of this kind usually works in wood. Structural jobs include regluing loose joints, rebuilding broken rails and spindles, patching and re-laying veneer and filling gouges. Finish work is the other half, from gentle cleaning and French polishing that keeps the character of an old surface to full stripping and refinishing when a piece has been painted over or scorched. Restorers also match stain on new parts so a repair disappears, and replace missing hardware with period-appropriate pulls and hinges.
Directory descriptions of this shop mention wood repair and restoration but not reupholstery, even though the chamber's category includes it, so ask before assuming fabric work is offered.
Bringing in a piece
Photos help. Send pictures of the whole piece, the damage and any maker's marks so the shop can give a rough idea before you haul it over. Ask whether the plan is to conserve the original finish or to refinish, since stripping can lower the value of a genuine antique. Get a written estimate with an expected turnaround, ask how pieces are stored while they wait, and check whether pickup and delivery can be arranged for large items such as armoires and dining tables.
Area
From Davis Street, or from West Winton Avenue if the move is confirmed, the shop is within easy reach of San Lorenzo, Castro Valley, Oakland, Hayward, Alameda, Union City and Fremont, all in Alameda County.
The number on file is 510-639-7270; listings hint at a newer number, so ask the chamber if it does not connect. If you are Hector De Leon, you can claim this listing through the chamber and set the details straight.

Preguntas frecuentes
Típico de este tipo de negocioShould I refinish an antique or keep the original finish?
For a valuable antique, conserving the original finish usually preserves more value than stripping it. For a family piece used every day, refinishing may make sense. Ask the restorer to explain the options and their effect on value before work starts.
How long does furniture restoration take?
Simple repairs may take a week or two; full refinishing or structural rebuilding can take several weeks, depending on drying times and the shop's queue. Ask for an estimated completion date in writing when you drop the piece off.
Can a restorer fix water and heat marks?
Often. White rings in a finish can sometimes be drawn out without refinishing, while dark stains that have reached the wood are harder and may need local refinishing. A restorer can usually tell from a photo which kind you have.
Does a furniture restorer also reupholster?
Some do, many do not. Wood restoration and upholstery are separate trades. If a chair needs both, ask whether the shop does the fabric work itself, sends it out, or expects you to arrange an upholsterer.
