Anyone familiar with wood restoration companies? Preferably commercial

I'm looking at a company that does wood restoration - think touchups/refinishing/repairs for furniture, floors, doors, cabinets, paneling, etc. It does mostly commercial work on-site at the client's location.
It looks like a fairly niche industry. The closest NAICS code I could find###-###-#### Reupholstery and Furniture Repair) doesn't quite cover it, and the IBIS World report is only a partial fit. Additionally, most of the similar local companies seem to be much more specialized (e.g., just furniture repair, just antique restoration, just floors).
I’m intrigued by the company (great reputation and brand, lots of repeat work and referrals, a strong team, and high EBITDA margins), but I’d really like to get a better handle on the industry overall. If anyone has experience or insights into this space, I’d love to bounce some ideas around. Happy to buy a virtual coffee (or even a coffee in person if you’re in the Seattle area).
