Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Augusta Upholstery focuses on furniture reupholstery, working on the sofas, chairs, loveseats, and accent pieces that fill Maine homes. A full reupholstery job involves stripping the piece down, examining the frame and suspension system, updating any worn foam or padding, and wrapping everything in the customer's chosen fabric. The shop is well suited to help homeowners in the Augusta area who have quality furniture that has simply outlived its current upholstery. Commercial clients like offices or rental property owners looking to refresh seating are also the kind of customers an established local shop like this serves.

Service Area

Augusta Upholstery serves Windsor and the greater Kennebec County area, with easy access for customers coming from Augusta, Chelsea, Whitefield, Palermo, and Coopers Mills. The central Maine location makes it a reasonable drive for people throughout the region. Anyone along the Route 3 or Route 32 corridors will find the shop conveniently reachable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can commercial furniture like office chairs be reupholstered?
Yes, many upholstery shops take on commercial work, including office seating, waiting room chairs, and restaurant booths. Reupholstering commercial pieces makes a lot of sense financially when the base structure is still in good shape. It's worth calling ahead to confirm the shop handles commercial volumes and the types of pieces you have.
What's the difference between foam density options?
Higher density foam is firmer and holds its shape longer, making it better for seat cushions that get daily use. Lower density foam is softer and more comfortable for limited use, like decorative pillows or accent chairs. A good upholstery shop will help you choose the right density based on how the piece will actually be used.
Can you reupholster just one piece of a matching set?
You can, though matching the fabric exactly to older pieces can be tricky if the original material is discontinued. Some customers choose to reupholster all pieces at the same time to guarantee a uniform look. If you're only doing one piece, bring a photo or a fabric swatch from the others so the shop can help you find the closest match.
Is there a minimum size job that upholstery shops will take on?
Most shops will take on jobs of any size, including single chair cushions or small footstools. Smaller jobs are actually a good way to try out a shop for the first time before committing a larger piece. Call ahead to confirm availability, since some very busy shops may prioritize larger projects.
How do I prepare my furniture before bringing it to the shop?
You don't need to do much beyond removing any items stored inside or underneath the piece and giving it a basic cleaning if it's very dirty. The shop will handle all the fabric removal and structural assessment once it arrives. If legs unscrew for easier transport, removing them beforehand makes loading easier.
Can upholstery work fix a squeaky or creaky sofa?
Often yes, since reupholstery involves opening up the piece and accessing the frame and spring system. A skilled upholsterer can tighten loose joints, reattach springs, or add padding where frame components are rubbing. If squeaking is your main complaint, it's worth mentioning that specifically when you call so the shop knows to look for it.
