Wood furniture repair in Saint Paul, MN by Dale's Furniture Refinishing

Wood furniture repair in Saint Paul, MN keeps good furniture out of the landfill and back in your home, and Dale’s Furniture Refinishing has been making those repairs by hand for over 40 years. Whether a chair has gone wobbly, a joint has come apart, or veneer is lifting, Dale diagnoses the problem and fixes it properly. He serves homeowners throughout Saint Paul and the Twin Cities.

Our repair process

Dale starts by understanding how the piece was built and where it failed. Loose joints are taken apart, cleaned, and re-glued so they hold for the long haul rather than being patched over. Broken parts are repaired or recreated to match, and structural problems are corrected so the piece is solid and safe to use.

Because Dale also refinishes, repairs blend in seamlessly. Replacement wood, veneer, and trim are stained and finished to match the surrounding surface, and repairs can be paired with full furniture refinishing when a piece needs both.

Repair instead of replace

A broken chair or wobbly table is not the end of the line. Repairing solid furniture costs a fraction of replacement, and the construction in older pieces is often far better than what you would buy today. A proper repair can give a beloved piece decades of new life.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does furniture repair cost?

Small repairs are very affordable, while larger structural jobs cost more. Dale gives a FREE estimate so you know the price before any work begins.

Can you fix a wobbly or broken chair?

Yes. Loose and broken chairs are one of the most common repairs Dale does. He re-glues joints, replaces broken parts, and makes the chair solid and safe to sit in again.

Do you repair veneer and broken trim?

Yes. Dale patches and replaces chipped or lifting veneer, repairs broken molding and trim, and rebuilds missing pieces to match.

Is it worth repairing old furniture?

Usually, yes. Repairing solid, well-built furniture costs far less than replacing it, and keeps quality construction in use. Dale will give you an honest opinion at your free estimate.

Can you fix deep scratches, gouges, and dents in wood?

Yes. Deep scratches, gouges, dents, and burns can be filled, sanded, and refinished so the surface is smooth and even again. For lighter surface marks, a spot repair is sometimes all it takes.

Can you repair furniture that was damaged in a move?

Yes. Cracked joints, snapped legs, gouges, and scratches from a move are routine repairs. If the damage is covered by a moving or insurance claim, ask about our insurance restoration service and itemized estimates.
