Our Story
Traditional Craftsmanship Since 1975
A Saint Paul workshop built on doing things the right way, by hand, with care, and with a guarantee behind every piece.
For over four decades, Dale’s Furniture Refinishing has offered traditional furniture refinishing to customers throughout the greater Saint Paul area. From our shop on Como Avenue in Saint Paul’s North End, we’ve built a reputation for quality finishing, fair prices, and workmanship you can count on, and we always guarantee our work.
Hand-crafted, the old-fashioned way
All of our craftsmanship is done by hand. That’s how we achieve custom finishes with a unique sheen that brings the wood to life. These finishes are guaranteed not to have a manufactured, plastic-like look. Whether it’s a treasured family heirloom, a dining set, a dresser, or a full kitchen of cabinets, every piece gets the same patient attention.
What we’re known for
We specialize in antique restoration and kitchen cabinet refinishing and repair, and we also excel at interior woodwork, parts replacement, hand stripping, stain and color matching, and upholstery. Dining sets, bedroom sets, office furniture, residential and commercial pieces, or repairs of any kind can all be brought to us, and we’ll bring it back to its original condition.
Restore, don’t replace
Well-made furniture is worth saving. Older and antique pieces were often built from solid hardwoods that simply aren’t used in mass-produced furniture today. Refinishing or repairing what you already own is usually more affordable than buying new, and it keeps a piece with history and character in your home for another generation.

“Excellent work, fair price, fast turnaround. Plus you might find a real gem in the showroom.”
“Brought in a heavily painted family heirloom with 14 layers of paint. Dale stripped and refinished it before Christmas at a very reasonable price, especially considering the level of his skill.”
“Had a Queen Anne recliner reupholstered at Dale’s. Lovely fabrics to choose from and very good work.”
