Services & Process

Andres Vazquez Upholstery focuses exclusively on furniture reupholstery, which means their full attention goes to stripping old fabric, repairing or reinforcing frames, replacing padding, and applying new upholstery materials with precision. This includes sofas, armchairs, dining chairs, headboards, and accent pieces. Clients can choose from a wide range of fabric options, including velvets, linens, performance fabrics, and leathers. Because the shop concentrates on one core service, the quality of execution tends to be higher than generalist shops that split their time across multiple trades.

Customers from neighborhoods like Williamsburg, Park Slope, Crown Heights, and DUMBO regularly use local Brooklyn upholstery specialists. Manhattan clients looking for highly rated craftspeople also make the short trip across the bridge.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my furniture frame is worth reupholstering?
A skilled upholsterer will inspect the frame for cracks, joint integrity, and structural soundness before starting work. Solid hardwood frames, even old ones, are almost always worth restoring, while particleboard or weak frames may not justify the cost.
How much fabric do I need for a standard sofa reupholster?
Most three-seat sofas require between 12 and 20 yards of fabric depending on cushion count, pattern repeats, and arm style. Your upholsterer will calculate the exact amount once they've inspected the piece, so don't buy fabric before that consultation.
Can a Brooklyn upholstery shop handle antique chair restoration?
Yes, experienced upholsterers like Andres Vazquez are well suited to antique work, which often requires hand-tying spring systems, replacing horsehair or cotton batting, and matching historical fabric styles. It's more labor-intensive than modern work, so expect a higher quote.
What's the difference between reupholstering and slipcovers?
Reupholstering involves fully removing the old fabric and attaching new material directly to the frame, giving a clean tailored finish. Slipcovers are removable fabric covers that fit over existing upholstery, which are cheaper but less polished in appearance.
Does the shop offer fabric sourcing help?
Most dedicated upholstery shops either carry fabric samples in-house or can point you to local fabric suppliers in the NYC area. If you're unsure what fabric suits your furniture's use and style, the shop can make practical recommendations.
How do I get a quote for reupholstery in Brooklyn?
Call (718) 383-5165 to describe your piece or send photos for an initial estimate. For an accurate quote, most shops prefer to inspect the furniture in person, since frame condition and fabric choice both affect the final price significantly.
