"Terry is AWESOME and very knowledgable about wood working/refinishing. We inherited the furniture and it was in bad shape. My first thought was to take an axe to the pieces and use for firewood, but Terry saw the quality in the furniture and highlighted the quality and design features as well as helped illustrate what the finish product would look like. We called a couple other refinishing companies, but quickly went with Terry based on his knowledge. The total process took around 3-months to complete (we didn't need the pieces back in a hurry) including reupholstering the seats. At the end, we were blown away by how wonderful the finished pieces looked! The same set-up would have cost us twice as much brand new and knowing we have great furniture that has been used by 3 generations is fantastic. <br />"

FAQs for furniture refinish projects in Minneapolis, MN

A complete table refinishing project requires between four and eight days from start to finish. The actual hands-on work takes between two and 10 hours, with the remaining time dedicated to drying periods between applications. The stripping and sanding phases demand the most active labor, while applying finishes requires patience as each layer dries completely before proceeding.

Several elements influence dining table refinishing costs, with size being the primary factor. Larger tables or those with extensions require more materials and labor time. The wood type matters significantly—hardwoods may need specialized treatment compared to softer woods. The table's current condition also impacts pricing, as damaged surfaces need repairs before refinishing can begin.

Refinishing often proves more economical than purchasing a comparable quality replacement. Professional table refinishing costs between $150 and $400 on average, while preserving the original craftsmanship and character of your piece. 

This approach makes particular sense for well-constructed wood furniture that would be expensive to replace with similar quality. For sentimental pieces or antiques, refinishing also maintains their history and personal value.

Professional furniture refinishers charge between $40 and $100 per hour for their services. This rate varies based on geographic location, the refinisher's experience level, and the complexity of the project. Some professionals offer project-based pricing rather than hourly rates, especially for standard-sized pieces like coffee tables or end tables. When requesting quotes, ask whether the estimate includes materials or represents labor costs only.

For tables with minor wear, you can sometimes refresh the appearance without complete stripping and sanding. Using gel stains and wipe-on finishes can address surface issues while preserving the existing finish underneath. This approach works best for tables with light cosmetic damage rather than those with deep scratches or damaged finishes. However, proper stripping and sanding remain necessary for comprehensive restoration or significant color changes for professional-quality results.
