Services & Process

Alief Upholstery handles the full range of furniture restoration work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does furniture refinishing involve?
Refinishing means stripping a wood surface down to bare wood, repairing any damage, and applying a new finish, whether that's stain, paint, or a clear protective coat. It can dramatically change or restore the look of chairs, tables, cabinets, and furniture legs. The process usually takes a few days depending on the number of coats and drying time needed.
Can you restore furniture with both wood and upholstered components?
Yes, and that's exactly where a shop like Alief Upholstery shines. Pieces like wingback chairs, dining chairs with cushioned seats, or wooden benches with upholstered tops often need both types of work. Handling it in one place is more convenient and usually ensures the final result looks cohesive.
How do I know if my furniture is worth restoring?
The main factor is the quality and condition of the frame. Solid hardwood frames from older pieces are almost always worth restoring since they outlast modern furniture built with MDF or stapled joints. Bring it in or share photos so a technician can assess whether the structure is sound enough to justify the work.
What kinds of fabric work best for Houston's climate?
Houston's heat and humidity can be tough on certain fabrics over time. Performance fabrics with moisture-wicking or stain-resistant treatments tend to hold up better in this climate, especially for furniture used near windows or in sunrooms. Your upholstery shop can recommend materials based on where the piece will live in your home.
Can scratched or water-damaged wood be fixed during refinishing?
In most cases, yes. Light scratches, water rings, and minor gouges can be sanded out or filled before the new finish is applied. Deep structural cracks or splits may require wood filler or repair work first. A good technician will assess the damage and tell you what's achievable before starting.
Do you offer pickup and delivery for large furniture?
Some upholstery shops in Houston offer pickup and delivery for an additional fee, while others require you to bring the piece in yourself. It's worth asking Alief Upholstery directly when you call, especially if you have a large sofa or sectional that's difficult to transport. Call (713) 668-0791 to discuss logistics.
