There is no stove manufacturer anywhere that can produce the value found in antique wood, coal or gas stoves. Today no one has the ability to reproduce these stoves with the same attention to quality and craftsmanship than the original creators. The foremost designing abilities, the finest materials and highest order of skilled workmanship went into the making of these beautiful stoves. For these reasons, we have decided to restore these stoves to their original state of grandeur.

Each and every stove is individually assessed; restoration plans are customized according to the needs and conditions of the stove. A typical restoration is described below.

• Break stove apart and reassemble.
• Weld breaks, cracks, damaged areas and broken parts.
• Fabricate missing or broken parts.
• Sandblast and clean surfaces.
• Paint stove with a temperature resistant paint.
• Seal stove for an airtight burn.
• Replace hinges and pins.
• Reset doors for close tight fit.
• Check latches for a tight close.
• Replace grates.
• Line with firebrick.
• Replace mica.
• Redo nickeling as needed, buff nickeling.
• Add new ash pan and lid lifter.
• Enamel stoves receive a thorough cleaning and touch up of porcelain.

The following information is intended to give you an overview of the process of restoring and rebuilding an antique stove. Click here to see how stoves were origianlly manufactured 100 years ago.

Restorations are performed with attention to preserving antique authenticity, efficient function, ease of operation and aesthetics.

An initial assessment of stove is issued with photos. An estimate is only as good as the photos and information provided. Only a physical inspection of the stove allows us to provide the most accurate restoration estimate. When we begin its restoration, we will catalogue missing parts, broken grates, and damaged nickeling of your antique stove. Stoves are then dismantled. The body is sandblasted and painted black to ease future maintenance and cleaning. Enamel finsihes are cleaned and touched up. The nickeling for each stove is individually assessed and will be replated as needed.

Once the body and trim have been sandblasted and painted, it is now time to reassemble the stove.

Upon completion, every antique stove is restored as close to it's original showroom. Every stove bears markings and characteristics that reflect its unique history and life, signs of its years of service to generations of families and homes since the turn-of-the-century. These stoves are well-loved and have lived long, useful lives. The Good Time Stove provides TLC and rehabilitation to these time travellers to return to full service and restore original beauty.
