Office Furniture Services

What Office Furniture Services does

OFS Corporation, doing business as Office Furniture Services, is a privately held, family-owned architectural finishing and restoration company headquartered in South Windsor, Connecticut. Founded in 1987 by Al Hare and now led by his son Scott Hare, the company provides on-site wood and metal refinishing, restoration, and maintenance services for commercial and institutional properties, with a geographic focus on Southern New England and Westchester County, New York. Its service portfolio spans door and architectural woodwork refinishing, metal restoration, partition refinishing, and detail touch-up, delivered by skilled craft technicians dispatched to client sites. The firm operates from two approximately 6,000 square foot finishing facilities in Connecticut.

The company serves a diversified institutional and commercial client base that includes Ivy League universities (Yale, Harvard), Fortune 500 corporations (Aetna), federal government agencies (U.S. Coast Guard, federal courthouses), healthcare networks, hospitality operators (Marriott), cultural institutions (Bushnell Center for the Performing Arts), financial institutions (Liberty Bank), and religious institutions. Revenue is generated primarily through project-based contracts, with pricing structured per-project (small touch-up engagements start at approximately $1,000) and supplemented by recurring maintenance agreements with long-tenured clients. The business model is fundamentally labor-driven: skilled finishing technicians are dispatched to client properties to perform restoration work on architectural surfaces, with shop capacity used for component-level refinishing. Distribution and lead flow come from direct sales, long-standing client relationships, and a partnership with BROSCO (an architectural door and hardware supplier) that channels the firm into commercial construction and renovation projects. The company has no external funding, has remained family-owned across two generations, and has expanded its service mix to include casino/hospitality clients and waterborne finishing technology to meet institutional environmental and indoor-air-quality requirements.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• ABM Industries: ABM Industries is a large facility services provider offering janitorial, maintenance, and parking services to commercial properties. While not a direct competitor to OFS's specialty finishing, ABM bundles light maintenance services that overlap with general property upkeep and competes for some shared facility management contracts.
• ServiceMaster Restore: ServiceMaster Restore provides property restoration services (primarily fire, water, and mold) through a national franchise network. It competes with OFS in the broader commercial restoration market but focuses on disaster remediation rather than the architectural finishing and historic preservation niche.
• CertaPro Painters: CertaPro Painters is a large commercial and residential painting franchise network with national footprint. While it competes with OFS on commercial painting and refinishing, it lacks OFS's depth in specialty wood and metal finishing, historic preservation, and architectural restoration.

Others

• Sherwin-Williams: Sherwin-Williams is a major coatings manufacturer and supplier of finishing products that OFS relies on for its waterborne finishes and industrial coatings. As an upstream supplier rather than a direct service competitor, it is an ecosystem participant relevant to OFS's procurement and product specification decisions.
• Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates: WJE is an engineering and architecture firm specializing in building restoration, investigation, and preservation consulting. It is an adjacent ecosystem participant that often specifies or recommends specialty contractors like OFS for historic preservation and architectural restoration projects.

Direct peers

• Nawkaw Corporation: Nawkaw provides specialized metal color coatings and finishes for architectural surfaces, including patina and oxidized effects on steel, bronze, and zinc. It is comparable to OFS's custom patina steel, blackened metal, and architectural metal finishing services, addressing the same architect/specifier-driven niche on commercial and institutional projects.
• EverGreene Architectural Arts: EverGreene specializes in decorative architectural restoration, ornamental plaster, and historic interior preservation for landmark buildings, cultural institutions, and religious properties. Its historic preservation practice competes head-to-head with OFS's historic wood and metal restoration work for similar institutional clients.
• Everbrite: Everbrite provides metal restoration, protective coatings, and refinishing services for architectural and commercial surfaces. It directly overlaps with OFS's metal restoration offering for elevator interiors, handrails, and brass/bronze fixtures, and competes for similar commercial property and institutional clients.
