more resistance after overhaul?

I've had this experience three or four times. I get an old clarinet from ebay that kind of plays, but for whatever reason (green waxy buildup everywhere, pads frayed, keys stiff, ...) it needs an overhaul. Before the overhaul it feels like it's going to be nicely free-blowing, and after the overhaul it is very resistant. Is this normal, or does it indicate that the tech did something wrong?
