Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery at Ackerman's covers the full process of recovering sofas, chairs, and other upholstered pieces with new fabric, foam, and finishing. Furniture repair handles structural issues like broken frames, loose joints, and damaged legs that need attention before or instead of reupholstery. The refinishing side of the business means wood surfaces, whether on a dining table, dresser, or chair frame, can be stripped, stained, and finished to match or refresh the piece's original look. Having all three services under one roof means a damaged antique or cherished heirloom can be fully restored in one stop.

Service Area

Ackerman's Furniture Service serves Burnsville and the surrounding south metro communities. Customers from Apple Valley, Lakeville, Savage, and Eagan regularly use the shop for furniture repair, refinishing, and reupholstery work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Ackerman's handle both the wood refinishing and reupholstery on the same piece?
Yes, that's one of the advantages of a multi-service shop like Ackerman's. Combining refinishing and reupholstery in one project saves you the hassle of coordinating between two different shops and ensures the finished piece looks cohesive.
What kinds of furniture repair does the shop handle?
Common repairs include fixing broken frames, re-gluing loose joints, replacing damaged legs, and reinforcing springs in upholstered seating. Structural repairs done before reupholstery extend the life of the piece and protect your investment in new fabric.
How does wood refinishing work, and how long does it take?
Refinishing typically involves stripping the old finish, sanding the surface smooth, applying stain if desired, and finishing with a protective topcoat. Timing depends on the size of the piece and how many coats are needed, but most projects take one to two weeks.
Is it cost-effective to repair and reupholster an older piece rather than buying new?
For well-built older furniture, repair and reupholstery often cost less than replacing the piece with something of comparable quality. Mass-market furniture today frequently uses lower-grade materials than furniture made several decades ago.
What should I do to prepare my furniture before dropping it off?
Remove any personal items stored in drawers or cushion pockets, and take note of any specific concerns or damage you want the shop to address. Clear photos of problem areas taken before drop-off can also help the shop understand what you've noticed.
Does Ackerman's work on antique or heirloom furniture?
Shops with refinishing and repair capabilities, like Ackerman's, often have experience with antique pieces that require careful handling and period-appropriate techniques. Be sure to mention the piece's age and any known history when you bring it in for an assessment.
