Piano Restoration & Rebuilding in Houston, TX

A piano that has sat unplayed for years, or one that has simply seen decades of heavy use, isn't necessarily beyond saving. In the hands of the right technicians, even a tired, worn instrument can be restored to a level of performance that rivals or even surpasses a new piano.

At Miles, Sturch, and Westbrook, restoration and rebuilding is at the heart of what we do. As a technician-owned shop, every restoration project is assessed and overseen by credentialed professionals who understand pianos from the inside out. We work with individual owners, churches and institutions, and fellow piano technicians seeking trade-level shop services.
