Frequently Asked Questions

Does Back Stitch Upholstery handle large sectional sofas?
Most upholstery shops that work on residential furniture are equipped to handle sectional sofas, though these projects require more fabric and more time than a standard sofa. It's best to call ahead so the shop can confirm they can take on a piece of that size and give you an accurate estimate.
How much fabric does it take to reupholster a sofa?
A standard three-cushion sofa typically requires between 12 and 18 yards of fabric, depending on the style, arm size, and whether you're matching a pattern. Your upholsterer will calculate the exact yardage once they examine the piece, so don't purchase fabric before getting that measurement.
Can dining chair seats be reupholstered without professional help?
Simple drop-in seat cushions can often be a DIY project if you're comfortable with a staple gun and basic measuring. However, for chairs with curved frames, attached backs, or tufted designs, professional work produces a much cleaner result and lasts significantly longer.
What happens if the foam inside my cushions is worn out?
Old foam that's compressed or crumbling will be replaced as part of the reupholstery process. Your upholsterer can recommend foam density based on how the piece is used, with firmer foam for frequently used seating and softer options for decorative pieces.
Is reupholstering furniture in Saline cheaper than buying new?
For quality pieces with solid frames, reupholstery almost always costs less than buying a comparable new item, especially when you factor in the quality difference. The math favors reupholstery most clearly on higher-end or antique pieces where the frame itself has significant value.
Can I see fabric samples before committing to a job?
Yes, most upholstery shops keep fabric samples on hand for customers to review in person. If you have a specific fabric or color in mind, bringing a photo or a swatch from another source can help the shop find the closest available match.
