Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery is the core offering here, covering sofas, chairs, ottomans, headboards, and dining room seating. The process involves stripping old fabric down to the frame, assessing padding and spring condition, replacing worn materials as needed, and then applying your chosen fabric. Customers can typically bring in fabric samples or choose from the shop's available options. Whether it's a modern sectional or a Victorian parlor chair, reupholstery can extend a piece's life by decades while completely changing its look.

The shop's location makes it accessible to much of the southern Colorado Front Range.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my furniture is worth reupholstering?
Generally, if the frame is solid wood and structurally sound, reupholstering makes financial and sentimental sense. Pieces with weak frames, particle board construction, or severe structural damage may cost more to restore than they're worth.
Can I supply my own fabric for the project?
Yes, most upholstery shops accept customer-supplied fabric as long as it meets the requirements for the project. Just make sure you have enough yardage, since the shop can tell you exactly how much you'll need when they assess the piece.
How long does a typical reupholstery project take in Colorado Springs?
Most residential furniture projects take one to three weeks from the time your piece is dropped off. More complex items like sectionals, tufted chairs, or pieces needing structural repairs can run longer, especially if specialty fabric needs to be ordered.
What fabrics hold up best in Colorado's climate?
Colorado's dry air and intense sun can fade and dry out delicate fabrics faster than in humid climates. Performance fabrics and tightly woven upholstery materials tend to hold up better, and many shops recommend UV-resistant options for pieces near windows.
Do upholstery shops in Colorado Springs offer pickup and delivery?
Some local shops offer pickup and delivery for large or heavy pieces, though this may come at an additional cost. It's worth asking when you call, especially if you're dealing with a large sectional or an item that's difficult to transport.
Can dining chairs be reupholstered, or is it just sofas and armchairs?
Dining chairs are actually one of the most common reupholstery requests, and they're often a straightforward project. Whether it's a simple drop-in seat cushion or a fully upholstered chair back, most upholstery shops handle dining sets regularly.
