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

Piano refinishing in Saint Paul, MN takes the patience and skill to treat a large, detailed cabinet with the respect the instrument deserves, and that’s exactly what Dale’s Furniture Refinishing provides. A piano is often the centerpiece of a room and a family heirloom, and a worn, scratched, or faded cabinet can be brought beautifully back to life. Dale serves Saint Paul and the Twin Cities with over 40 years of craftsmanship.

Our piano refinishing process

Dale carefully strips the old, failing finish from the cabinet by hand, addresses scratches, water damage, and worn spots, and repairs loose trim or veneer along the way. He then builds up a new custom finish, hand-rubbed to the sheen you want, from a warm satin to a deep gloss.

Color and stain are matched to restore the original look or to give the piano a fresh tone. The detailed legs, lid, music desk, and trim all get the same careful attention so the finished cabinet looks cohesive and rich. Our custom finishes give a unique sheen and bring the wood to life, guaranteed not to have a manufactured look.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does piano refinishing cost?

Pianos are large, detailed pieces, so cost depends on the size, style, and condition of the cabinet. Dale provides a FREE estimate before any work begins.

Do you refinish both uprights and grands?

Yes. Dale refinishes the cabinets of upright, console, spinet, baby grand, and grand pianos.

Do you tune or repair the piano's internal parts?

Dale refinishes the wood cabinet, the part you see and touch. For tuning and internal mechanical work you'll want a piano technician, and Dale can focus on making the cabinet beautiful.

Can you match the original piano finish?

Yes. Dale matches color and sheen to restore the original look, or can give your piano a new tone if you prefer. Custom finishes are hand-applied for a rich result.

Will refinishing my piano affect its sound or value?

No. Dale refinishes only the outer wood cabinet, not the strings, soundboard, or action, so the way your piano plays and sounds is untouched. A well-kept, freshly finished cabinet usually helps a piano's appeal and resale.

How long does piano refinishing take?

A piano is a large project, so plan on several weeks depending on the style, the condition of the cabinet, and the shop schedule. Dale gives you a realistic timeline with your free estimate.
