Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery involves far more than just stapling new fabric over old. The process typically includes removing all existing material, inspecting and replacing worn foam padding or spring systems, and then cutting and applying new fabric with careful attention to pattern matching and seam placement. A shop focused exclusively on this work can handle a wide range of pieces, from accent chairs and ottomans to full sectional sofas and headboards. Fabric consultation is also part of the process, helping customers choose materials that suit both the piece's design and the household's practical needs.

Service Area

B C Upholstery is located in Fort Wayne and primarily serves Allen County residents. Fort Wayne's size means the shop draws customers from across the city's many neighborhoods as well as from surrounding communities like New Haven, Huntertown, and Leo-Cedarville. People throughout northeast Indiana who want professional furniture reupholstery have B C Upholstery as a local option.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to reupholster a sofa in Fort Wayne?
Sofa reupholstery costs vary based on size, fabric choice, and how much internal work is needed, but you can generally expect to spend several hundred dollars on a standard piece. Calling the shop with details about your sofa's size and current condition will get you a more accurate estimate.
Can you reupholster an antique chair without damaging the original frame?
Experienced upholsterers work carefully around antique frames, preserving the original wood and construction while refreshing the fabric and padding. It's one of the reasons you'd choose a specialty shop over a general furniture store for older or valuable pieces.
How long does sofa reupholstery typically take?
A standard sofa can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks depending on the shop's current workload and the complexity of the job. It's always a good idea to ask for a timeline when you drop the piece off.
Do you help with fabric selection or do I need to bring my own?
Most upholstery shops carry a range of fabric samples and can guide you through options that suit your piece and lifestyle. If you have a specific fabric in mind from another source, many shops will work with customer-supplied material as well.
Is it possible to reupholster just the cushions instead of the whole sofa?
Yes, cushion-only reupholstery is a practical option when the sofa frame and arms are still in good condition. It's a more affordable approach and can significantly freshen the look of a piece without a full overhaul.
Can a reupholstery shop fix furniture that has a broken frame?
Some upholstery shops offer basic frame repair alongside fabric work, while others focus purely on the upholstery side. It's worth asking B C Upholstery directly whether they handle structural issues or can point you to someone who does.
