Furniture restoration

Furniture restoration tracking without constant progress check-ins

TryStatus helps furniture restoration shops give customers a live status page for each piece, from intake and repairs to sanding, staining, finishing, and pickup.

Restoration work is detailed and often takes longer than customers expect. Without a clear status page, routine progress questions turn into calls, texts, and repeated explanations.

  • Show restoration stages like intake, stripping, repairs, sanding, staining, finishing, and ready.
  • Give customers one link they can check without a login or app.
  • Keep communication simple without turning TryStatus into a full time-tracking system.

Live customer view

A simple status page customers can check instead of calling your team.

How it works

A simple customer tracker for restoration milestones

Your team can keep using the workflow it already knows while customers get a cleaner way to see where their piece stands.

  • Step 1

    Create the restoration page

    Add the customer, piece, and first stage when the item comes in.

  • Step 2

    Share the link

    Give customers a live page they can revisit instead of asking for another progress text.

  • Step 3

    Update each milestone

    Move the job through stripping, repairs, sanding, staining, finishing, and ready.
