Get to Know Certified Professional Repair

At Certified Professional Repair (CPR), we believe furniture repair is more than a service—it’s a responsibility. Your furniture represents comfort, style, and memories. When it breaks or stains, you don’t just need a technician—you need someone you can trust to treat your home and belongings with care.



Led by Ted Rhodes, CPR is a fully mobile, full-service furniture repair company based in Tallahassee, FL, proudly serving clients from the Florida Panhandle to Mobile, AL. Whether we’re restoring a leather couch, cleaning an upholstered chair, or fixing a recliner motor, we do it with honesty, precision, and respect.

A Certified Professional Who Cares

With over 25 years of hands-on experience, Ted brings unmatched expertise to every job. But what truly sets him apart is his background in healthcare and business leadership—a combination that instills CPR’s core values of professionalism, integrity, and empathy.

CPR was born from a simple mission: deliver mobile, high-quality repairs with old-school integrity and modern efficiency.
