Dining table refinishing in Saint Paul, MN by Dale's Furniture Refinishing

Table refinishing in Saint Paul, MN is one of the most requested jobs at Dale’s Furniture Refinishing, because the dining table takes more abuse than almost any piece in the house. Years of meals, homework, spills, and elbows leave scratches, water rings, and worn-through finish. Dale hand-refinishes dining tables for families across Saint Paul and the Twin Cities, leaving a smooth, rich surface that’s ready for the next decade of dinners.

Our table refinishing process

Dale starts by stripping the old, damaged finish from the tabletop by hand, then sands and prepares the surface so the wood is smooth and even. Scratches, dents, water rings, and heat marks are addressed, loose leaves or joints are repaired, and the grain is brought back to life.

He then applies a custom, hand-rubbed finish in the sheen you prefer, built to resist everyday wear. Stain color is matched to your taste, whether you want to keep the original tone or change it. Our custom finishes give a unique sheen and are guaranteed not to have a manufactured look.

Refinish instead of replace

A solid wood dining table is worth keeping. Quality tables built years ago are sturdier than most new ones, and refinishing can save you up to 70% versus buying a comparable replacement. Even a badly worn top usually has beautiful wood waiting underneath.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to refinish a dining table?

Cost depends on the size of the table, the extent of the damage, and the finish you choose. Dale provides a FREE estimate so you'll know before any work starts.

Can you remove water rings and heat marks from my table?

Yes. Water rings, heat marks, scratches, and worn spots are all common reasons people bring tables to Dale. Refinishing removes them and leaves a fresh, even surface.

Can you refinish just the tabletop and leave the base?

Often, yes. If the base is in good shape, Dale can refinish only the top to save you money. He'll recommend the best approach at your free estimate.

How durable is the new finish?

Dale applies durable, hand-rubbed finishes made to stand up to meals, spills, and daily use, and all work is guaranteed.

Can you match my table to the rest of my dining set?

Yes. Dale matches stain color and sheen so a refinished table blends with the chairs, buffet, or hutch, or he can refinish the whole set together for a consistent look.

How long does it take to refinish a dining table?

Most dining tables are done within a few weeks, depending on the size, the repairs needed, and the shop schedule. Dale gives you a realistic timeline with your free estimate.
