Frequently Asked Questions

Can Bauman Upholstery restore antique or heirloom furniture?
Restoring older pieces is a natural fit for an experienced furniture upholsterer. The key is choosing fabrics and techniques that honor the original style while making the piece functional for modern use.
Does reupholstering furniture add to its resale value?
For quality pieces with solid frames, professional reupholstery can significantly increase resale value, especially on antiques or vintage furniture. A well-done job makes the piece look current without erasing its character.
Is there a minimum number of pieces I need to bring in at once?
Most upholstery shops handle single pieces just as readily as large batches. That said, bringing in a full set of dining chairs together often makes sense for scheduling and fabric consistency.
Can I get a fabric sample before committing to a full reupholstery job?
Yes, reputable upholstery shops can provide swatches or samples so you can see how a fabric looks in your home's lighting before the work begins. It's a smart step before making a final decision on color or texture.
How do upholstery shops handle pieces with carved wood trim or exposed frames?
Pieces with decorative wood elements require careful work to apply fabric without covering or damaging the trim. Experienced upholsterers are familiar with these details and will protect or refinish wood accents as needed.
What's the difference between reupholstering and slipcovers?
Reupholstering replaces the attached fabric permanently and often includes frame and cushion work, while slipcovers are removable covers that fit over existing upholstery. Reupholstery gives a cleaner, more tailored look and longer-lasting results.
