About Andrew 3 Upholstery

Andrew 3 Upholstery is a Boston-based reupholstery shop focused exclusively on giving furniture a second life through quality fabric work. Boston homeowners know that a well-made sofa or armchair is worth keeping, especially when the frame is still solid. The city's mix of historic brownstones and modern condos means customers come in with everything from Victorian parlor chairs to mid-century sectionals. While there are no reviews posted yet, their focused service offering suggests a specialist approach rather than a generalist one.

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Reupholstery is the full process of removing old fabric and padding from a piece, inspecting the frame for any needed repairs, and then rebuilding the cushioning and covering it with new material. For sofas and sectionals, this can involve dozens of yards of fabric and several days of skilled labor. Cushion replacement is often part of the process, replacing compressed foam or worn batting with new high-density fill. Customers choose from a range of fabric options including performance fabrics, natural fibers, and patterned textiles.

Service Area

Andrew 3 Upholstery serves Boston and its surrounding communities across the Greater Boston metro. Customers from neighborhoods like the Back Bay, Cambridge, and Somerville are all within easy reach. The shop's Boston location makes it a practical choice for anyone living or working in the urban core.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Andrew 3 Upholstery work on antique furniture?
Many reupholstery specialists in Boston are comfortable working with antique pieces, though it's worth asking specifically about the age and style of your item. Older frames sometimes need reinforcement before new fabric goes on.
How do I choose the right fabric for my sofa?
Think about how the piece gets used. High-traffic items benefit from performance fabrics that resist staining and wear, while a decorative accent chair can handle something more delicate. Most shops will walk you through swatches and help you make a practical choice.
Can I supply my own fabric?
Some shops accept customer-supplied fabric and some don't, so it's worth asking when you call. If they do accept it, make sure you have enough yardage since running short mid-project causes delays.
Is reupholstery more expensive than buying new furniture?
It depends entirely on the piece and the fabric you choose. For well-built furniture, reupholstery often costs less than a comparable quality replacement and results in a piece that's structurally superior to most mass-market options.
How do I measure how much fabric I'll need?
Shops typically handle the yardage calculations for you once they've seen the piece. If you're buying fabric elsewhere and bringing it in, the shop can give you a yardage estimate before you purchase.
What's the difference between reupholstery and slipcovers?
Reupholstery permanently replaces the fabric on the frame, while slipcovers are removable covers that fit over the existing upholstery. Reupholstery gives a cleaner, tailored look, while slipcovers are a more budget-friendly option for temporary changes.
