Looking for trusted furniture refinishing in Saint Paul, MN? Dale’s Furniture Refinishing has been a fixture of the city for more than 40 years, working out of our shop at 622 Como Ave #1 in the North End. Owner Dale Urban does the work by hand, the traditional way, so every piece that leaves the shop looks the way it was meant to look. Whether you live a few blocks away in Como Park or across town in Highland Park, your furniture gets the same careful, custom finish.
Saint Paul homes and the furniture in them
Saint Paul is a city of old houses and older furniture. The Victorians and Craftsman homes of Summit-University, Cathedral Hill and Dayton’s Bluff are full of oak sideboards, walnut dressers, and dining tables that have been passed down for generations. Newer families in Highland Park and Como Park bring us mid-century pieces, water-stained tabletops, and tired kitchen cabinets that deserve a second life instead of a trip to the curb. We see it all, and we treat a $50 flea-market find with the same respect as a hundred-year-old heirloom.
Because we’re based in Saint Paul, we know these pieces. We know the humidity swings that loosen old joints, the radiator heat that dries out veneer, and what it takes to bring a finish back without stripping away the character that makes an antique worth keeping.
