About Al's Furniture Upholstery

Al's Furniture Upholstery in Cheyenne, Wyoming handles both furniture reupholstery and furniture repair, covering the two most common reasons people bring a good piece to a professional rather than throwing it out. Cheyenne's combination of older homes, ranch properties, and a strong sense of practicality makes furniture restoration a genuinely valued service here. Al's is the kind of shop where you can bring in a chair with a broken leg and worn seat fabric and walk away with a piece that's structurally sound and looks sharp. It's practical craftsmanship at the local level.

Services & Process

Al's Furniture Upholstery covers full fabric replacement on sofas, armchairs, dining chairs, recliners, and ottomans, including foam pad replacement and spring or webbing repair as needed. The furniture repair side of the business addresses structural issues including broken frames, loose joints, cracked legs, and damaged hardware, which often need fixing before new upholstery goes on. Offering both services under one roof means a customer doesn't have to coordinate between a carpenter and an upholsterer to restore a single piece. Fabric selection is part of the process, with options ranging from durable everyday weaves to more formal decorative textiles.

Service Area

Al's Furniture Upholstery is located in Cheyenne, WY, and serves residential and commercial customers throughout Laramie County. Clients from surrounding areas including Pine Bluffs, Wheatland, and across the Colorado border near Cheyenne's southern suburbs regularly bring work to local shops in the city.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a broken furniture frame be repaired before reupholstering?
Yes, and it should be. Applying new fabric over a damaged or wobbly frame just means you'll have expensive upholstery on a piece that won't last. A shop offering both repair and reupholstery will fix the structure first so the finished piece is sound from the inside out.
What types of furniture repairs do upholstery shops handle?
Beyond fabric work, shops like Al's typically address broken or cracked wooden frames, loose joints, detached legs, worn-out springs, and sagging webbing. If the hardware like hinges or recliner mechanisms is damaged, those can often be replaced as part of the same job.
Is it cheaper to reupholster furniture in Cheyenne than to buy new?
For well-built pieces, reupholstery is almost always the better value, especially when you factor in the quality difference between older hardwood construction and modern particleboard furniture. The cost comparison shifts if the frame is damaged or the piece is cheaply made to begin with.
How do I choose between reupholstering and buying a new piece?
If the frame is solid and the piece fits your space and style, reupholstery gives you a custom result that new furniture off a showroom floor can't match. If the frame is compromised or the piece is inexpensive and not worth the investment, replacement makes more sense.
Can commercial furniture like office chairs or restaurant seating be reupholstered?
Absolutely. Commercial property managers and restaurant owners in the Cheyenne area regularly have seating reupholstered rather than replaced, since the per-unit cost of reupholstery is typically far lower than buying new commercial-grade furniture. Heavy-duty fabrics built for high-traffic use are available for these projects.
What should I look for when choosing upholstery fabric in a dry climate like Wyoming?
In Cheyenne's dry, high-altitude climate, fabrics that resist fading and don't dry out or crack are worth prioritizing. Performance textiles with UV inhibitors and solution-dyed fibers hold their color longer, and leather or vinyl pieces should be conditioned regularly to prevent drying and cracking in low-humidity conditions.
