Professional Furniture Serv

What Professional Furniture Serv does

Professional Furniture Services, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned furniture repair and restoration business founded in 1978 and headquartered at 95 West Main Street, Amelia, Ohio. Owner Ken Larbes acquired the company in 1984 after years in the upholstery and furniture repair trade; his son Craig joined the management team in 1994, formalizing multi-generational ownership. The company operates a regional service model covering the Greater Cincinnati, Dayton, and Northern Kentucky metros, employing approximately nine people (six of whom are explicitly identified in available sources: Ken Larbes, Craig Larbes, David Lott, Lannan Baker, Glenn Larbes, and Julie Gruber).

PFS delivers its services through three interconnected offerings. The core Furniture Repair line provides in-home touch-up, complete refinishing and restoration of both modern and antique furniture, and missing-parts duplication, executed with what the company describes as "old world craftsmanship" combined with modern documentation methods. Insurance Work Services packages on-site inspections, digital photography, computer-generated reports, online invoicing, and SLA-backed response times (24-hour claimant contact, 10-day first visit) for insurance-company claims workflows. Third Party Services extends the repair portfolio into glass, brass, porcelain, fine art, leather, upholstery, marble, and chair caning. Ken Larbes's training with the Association of Restorers in Europe anchors a specialty antique-conservation capability, exemplified by restoration of the antique piano at Cincinnati's Taft House.

The business model is professional-services fees for one-time repair, refinishing, and restoration work, priced via custom quotes rather than published tiers. GTM is sales-led and direct, relying on word-of-mouth, published customer testimonials, an educational blog, and inbound phone inquiries; channels are in-home service delivery and shop-based restoration with pickup/delivery. Customers span residential homeowners with sentimental or heirloom pieces, moving and storage companies (e.g., Al Naish Moving & Storage), insurance carriers, and small commercial accounts (e.g., Airkem Professional Products). The firm is entirely founder/family-owned with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, subsidiaries, or M&A activity.
