Angelo's Furniture Refinishing & Repair in Lakeside has restored heirloom and antique furniture since 1965, operating from a dedicated workshop on Santa Maria Avenue off El Nopal. Techniques include hand caning and sheet caning for chair seats and headboards, a heritage craft that complements the solid-wood furniture lines stocked by Cloven Home Furnishings on Channel Road. Craftsmen reproduce missing or broken wooden components on-site rather than sourcing generic replacement parts, preserving the original silhouette of Victorian mantels, claw-foot vanities, and mid-century credenzas. Insurance estimates cover fire, flood, and transit damage claims, and the shop provides pickup and delivery throughout Lakeside and the surrounding East County San Diego corridor. Restoration projects often require replacement drawer slides, hinges, and period-correct hardware sourced from nearby suppliers like The Drawer Depot on Channel Road, which the workshop integrates into each piece to maintain structural and aesthetic continuity. Specialty finishes include custom gold-leaf application using oil-based sizing and 23-karat Italian leaf sheets on ornamental picture frames and decorative molding.
