Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Reupholstery at Barnes Custom Upholstery means taking your existing furniture frame and rebuilding it with fresh padding, new webbing or springs where needed, and a fabric covering of your choice. The shop works on sofas, sectionals, accent chairs, wingback chairs, dining seats, ottomans, and headboards. Fabric selection is a key part of the process, and being in High Point means access to a broader range of material options than most markets. Clients can choose from performance fabrics, traditional wovens, velvet, leather, and specialty textiles depending on the look and function they need.

Service Area

Barnes Custom Upholstery serves High Point and the broader Guilford County area, with customers coming in from Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and smaller surrounding communities. The shop is well-positioned for clients across the Piedmont Triad who want a dedicated reupholstery specialist rather than a general handyman service.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between reupholstery and slipcovers?
Reupholstery permanently replaces the old fabric by stripping the piece down and stapling or sewing new material directly to the frame. Slipcovers are a removable cover that fits over the existing upholstery, which is easier to swap out but typically doesn't look as polished or fit as precisely.
Can I supply my own fabric for a reupholstery project?
Most upholstery shops will work with customer-supplied fabric, but you'll need to confirm how much yardage is required before purchasing. The shop should be able to give you a yardage estimate based on the piece's dimensions and the fabric's pattern repeat.
How do I know if my furniture frame is worth reupholstering?
Solid wood frames that aren't cracked or warped are generally good candidates, especially if the piece was well-built to begin with. A quick in-person assessment from the shop will tell you whether the frame is structurally sound enough to justify the investment in new fabric and padding.
Does reupholstery include replacing the foam padding?
Yes, replacing the foam or padding is typically part of a full reupholstery job and is often what makes the biggest difference in comfort. You can usually choose different foam densities depending on whether you want a softer or firmer seat.
How do I find a fabric that coordinates with my existing room decor?
Bringing in a photo of your room or a sample of your existing colors is a good starting point when selecting fabric. The shop can help you narrow down options that work with your palette, and High Point's access to trade fabric lines gives you more variety than you'd typically find at a retail store.
Is reupholstery more environmentally friendly than buying new furniture?
It generally is, since you're keeping the existing frame and materials out of a landfill and reducing demand for new manufacturing. Quality furniture frames can last 50 years or more when properly cared for, making reupholstery a sustainable choice for well-built pieces.
