Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery is the core service, which means stripping down your existing piece to its frame, checking the structure for any repairs, and rebuilding it with new foam, batting, and fabric. Customers can typically choose from a wide selection of fabrics including performance blends, velvets, and vinyl options suited for high-traffic use. Cushion replacement is often part of the process, addressing that sinking, unsupportive feeling that comes from worn-out foam. The shop works on sofas, loveseats, accent chairs, ottomans, and dining room seating.

Service Area

A & C Upholstery & Design is based in Saint Clair Shores and conveniently serves surrounding Macomb County communities including Roseville, St. Clair Shores, and Eastpointe. Customers from the greater metro Detroit area also make the trip for specialized reupholstery work.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to reupholster a sofa in Saint Clair Shores?
Sofa reupholstery prices vary widely depending on the size of the piece, the fabric you choose, and the condition of the frame. In the Metro Detroit area, most sofas run between $600 and $1,500 fully reupholstered, though custom or oversized pieces can cost more. Getting an in-person estimate is the best way to get an accurate number.
Is it worth reupholstering old furniture instead of buying new?
It depends on the quality of the frame. Older furniture, especially pieces made before the 1980s, often has hardwood frames and better construction than most new furniture at similar price points. If the bones are good, reupholstering almost always makes more financial and environmental sense than replacing the piece.
How long does furniture reupholstery take?
Most standard pieces like chairs and sofas take one to three weeks once the shop has your fabric in hand. Busier shops during peak seasons, like spring home refresh time, may have longer lead times. It's a good idea to ask about current turnaround when you drop off your piece.
Can you match the original fabric on my furniture?
Exact fabric matches are rarely possible unless the original fabric is still in production, but a good upholsterer can often find something very close in texture, weight, and color. Bringing in a fabric sample or a photo of the original helps narrow down the search considerably.
Do upholstery shops offer pickup and delivery in Macomb County?
Some shops offer pickup and delivery for an additional fee, while others require you to bring the furniture in yourself. It's worth asking when you call, especially for large sectionals or pieces that are difficult to transport. Many customers use a truck rental or borrow a friend's for the drop-off.
What types of fabric work best for families with kids and pets?
Performance fabrics like Crypton, Sunbrella indoor blends, and tightly woven microfibers are popular choices for busy households. They resist stains, dry quickly, and hold up well to repeated cleaning. Your upholsterer can show you swatches and explain the durability ratings so you can make a confident choice.
