My name is Bob Murphy. I began this company in 1989 shortly after graduating Salem State College and serving in the Massachusetts National Guard. I learned the craft by working for years with my father Harold Murphy. We are a company involved in the repair, restoration, stripping and refinishing of all types of fine quality furniture and antiques. We are located in Salem Massachusetts. Without the protection of a finish, the wood surface becomes soiled, dull, and grayish looking. At times, the soil penetrates below the surface and never comes out, leaving dark blotches and rings.
Located in Salem adjacent to the Pickering Wharf area, Murphy's Refinishing provides one of the rare environmentally safe furniture refinishing studios. From our citrus based hand stripping process to our water based stain and finishing system. As one of the largest shops in the Boston area we specialize in all areas from antique restoration to contemporary and faux finishing. There are no limits to what we can do with your favorite collectable, old or new!
