Pedro refinished some outdoor antique furniture for me with teak oil, and he finished the job a couple days ago. He came two days last week, and he does good work and is flexible. The price felt fair, and I was very happy with how it turned out. I would definitely recommend him.

Anton made furniture for our beauty space and it is very beautiful and well done. Everything was very good and it matched what I wanted, and we are really very happy to work with him. Communication and timing were fine, and the price felt nice and fair. We are in Lisbon and I would call him again.

I was really impressed with Pedro, he was incredibly transparent and reliable. He replaced the extractor fan and did other random fixes around the house, he fixed everything we had agreed on and made the adjustments necessary in order to be able to fix everything within a few hours. Great work!

Frequently Asked Questions
What expats want to know before hiring furniture repair in Lisbon.
Are there English-speaking furniture repair in Lisbon?
Yes, and more do as the expat community grows. The hard part is knowing who is reliable before you book, so every one we list is reviewed by other expats who have actually used them.
What should I check before hiring furniture repair in Lisbon?
Read recent reviews, be clear about exactly what you need, and agree the scope and an estimate in writing before any work starts. For anything regulated, check they hold the right credentials for the job.
What is the most important thing to know before booking?
Be clear about what you want and get the price and scope agreed up front, so there are no surprises. Reading other expats' reviews is the quickest way to find someone who does the job well and communicates clearly.
What should I avoid when hiring furniture repair in Lisbon?
Avoid paying the full amount up front (a deposit can be fair), anyone who will not give a clear quote, and unusually cheap prices that get padded with extras later.
How do I explain what I need if my Portuguese is limited?
A photo, a short video or a written list does most of the talking, and the professionals we list are used to international clients. Booking an English-speaking one takes the stress out of it entirely.
