Our Story

A Family Legacy,
Carved Into the Grain of New York

Our story began with a newspaper ad and a dream. Paul Koppenheffer's father Mike arrived in New York City decades ago with nothing but a strong work ethic and a love for woodworking. Hired at a local workshop for just $1 an hour, he quickly proved his skill and dedication.

When the original business was sold, they offered him a small payout—or the workshop itself. He chose the legacy. That choice planted the roots of what would become Professional Furniture Finishing Company, Inc., a multigenerational institution of quality craftsmanship.

"When the original business was sold, they offered him a small payout—or the workshop itself. He chose the legacy."
— Paul Koppenheffer

Generations of Craftsmanship, One Piece at a Time

From that humble workshop to today's elite clientele, our company has been shaped by a deep respect for wood, finish, and form. Paul's father continued the legacy, building relationships with designers, showrooms, and private clients.

And now, with master finisher Tony—who's been with the company since Paul's father Mike's era—this timeless skill is practiced daily. We don't just fix furniture. We restore history, honor design, and bring heirlooms back to life.

Designer-Aligned

We speak your visual language and understand design integrity.

We had a coffee table that belonged to my grandmother that I absolutely loved. It was beginning to show some wear and tear. We found Paul and his company; they were easy to talk to and professional in every regard. I can now say my coffee table looks brand new!

We hired Paul and his company to restore my grandparent's dining room set. It was truly beautiful, but it is very old and was in need of complete repair and restoration. What Paul did was miraculous! The set is like new and completely usable again.
