Frequently Asked Questions

How much does furniture reupholstery typically cost in Salt Lake City?
Costs vary widely depending on the piece and fabric choice. A dining chair might run $100 to $200, while a full sofa can range from $800 to $2,000 or more. Getting an in-person estimate is the best way to get an accurate number.
Is it worth reupholstering an old sofa instead of buying new?
If your sofa has a solid hardwood frame and good bones, reupholstering it almost always makes sense, especially for quality pieces. You'll get a custom result that matches your exact taste, often at a lower cost than buying a comparable new sofa.
What fabrics work best for Utah's dry climate?
Performance fabrics and tightly woven textiles hold up well in Utah's low-humidity environment, resisting cracking and fading over time. Natural linens and wools are also popular choices that tend to wear gracefully in this climate.
How long does a typical reupholstery job take?
Most standard pieces like chairs and loveseats are completed in one to two weeks. Larger or more detailed projects, like tufted sofas or antique pieces, can take three weeks or longer depending on the shop's current workload.
Can I bring my own fabric to the shop?
Many upholstery shops accept customer-supplied fabric, but you'll want to confirm the yardage requirements before purchasing. The shop can tell you exactly how much you'll need based on the piece and any pattern matching involved.
Do upholstery shops in Salt Lake City also replace the foam inside cushions?
Yes, cushion foam replacement is a common add-on service and often makes a big difference in the finished feel of the piece. High-density foam is a popular upgrade that restores the original firmness or improves on it.
