Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between reupholstering and slipcovers?
Reupholstering involves completely replacing the fabric and often the padding, giving a permanent, tailored result that fits the piece exactly. Slipcovers are a removable cover placed over existing upholstery, which is less durable and less precise but easier to swap out or clean.
Can antique or heirloom furniture be reupholstered without damaging it?
Yes, experienced upholsterers know how to work with older frames carefully, preserving original wood and joinery where possible. It helps to mention upfront that the piece has sentimental or antique value so the shop can take extra care during the process.
What fabric types are popular for homes in Honolulu?
Lighter, breathable fabrics like linen blends and performance weaves are popular in Honolulu because they feel comfortable in warm weather and resist humidity better than heavy velvets or wools. Many customers also opt for easy-clean fabrics given the casual, active lifestyle common here.
How do I get a quote for reupholstery work?
Most shops will give you a quote after seeing the piece in person or reviewing clear photos showing the size, style, and condition. Pricing depends on the complexity of the piece, the fabric you choose, and whether any structural repairs are needed.
Is leather reupholstery an option, or is that a different specialty?
Some upholstery shops work with leather, while others focus primarily on fabric. It's worth asking directly, since full leather replacement on a piece is a more involved process than fabric work and not every shop handles it regularly.
How do I choose between fabric options when there are so many?
Start by thinking about how the piece will be used, whether it's a decorative accent chair or daily-use seating makes a big difference in what fabric makes sense. A good upholsterer will ask about your household, lifestyle, and style preferences to help narrow things down quickly.
