Frequently Asked Questions

What fabrics work best for Virginia Beach homes near the water?
Performance fabrics and solution-dyed acrylics are great choices for coastal homes because they resist fading, moisture, and mildew better than standard upholstery textiles. Many Virginia Beach upholstery shops stock or can source fabrics specifically rated for high humidity and sun exposure, which is worth requesting if your piece will be in a sunroom or near windows.
How do I know if my furniture frame is worth reupholstering?
A solid hardwood or kiln-dried wood frame that doesn't wobble or creak under pressure is usually worth the investment. If the legs are warped, joints are loose, or the frame is particle board, you'll want a professional to assess it first since reupholstering a weak frame just delays the inevitable.
Can B & B Upholstering work on antique or vintage furniture?
Many upholstery shops with experience in the Virginia Beach area handle antique pieces regularly, since the region has a strong base of older homes and long-term residents with heirloom furniture. Call ahead to describe your piece so the shop can confirm they have the skills and materials for delicate or period-appropriate restoration work.
How much fabric is needed to reupholster a standard sofa?
A standard three-cushion sofa typically requires 12 to 18 yards of fabric, depending on the style, cushion count, and whether the pattern needs to be matched. It's always better to buy slightly more than estimated to account for errors, and a good upholsterer will give you a precise yardage number before you purchase anything.
What's the turnaround time for reupholstery in Virginia Beach?
Turnaround depends on the shop's current workload and whether your chosen fabric needs to be ordered. Simple chairs might be done in a week, while larger sectionals or heavily customized projects can take three to four weeks. Asking for an estimated completion date at drop-off helps you plan accordingly.
Should I clean my furniture before dropping it off for reupholstery?
It's courteous to do a basic wipe-down, but the shop will be stripping the old fabric off anyway, so deep cleaning before drop-off isn't necessary. Do mention any damage, stains, or odor issues so the shop can factor that into their assessment of the frame and cushion materials underneath.
