About Best Choice Upholstery

Best Choice Upholstery serves the Mount Pleasant, South Carolina community with furniture reupholstery services tailored to the coastal lifestyle of the Lowcountry. Mount Pleasant homeowners know that salt air, sun exposure, and heavy use from beach-going families can wear out even quality furniture faster than in other regions. Having a local upholstery shop nearby means you don't have to haul pieces across the bridge into Charleston. Whether it's a worn sectional or a dining set that needs refreshing, they're a convenient option for East Cooper residents.

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery is the core offering here, which means stripping old fabric from sofas, chairs, ottomans, and other pieces and replacing it with new material. The process typically includes repairing or replacing foam padding, reinforcing the frame if needed, and applying the new fabric with professional-grade finishing. Customers can usually choose from a wide selection of fabrics, including performance fabrics that resist moisture and staining, which is practical for coastal South Carolina homes. Whether you're refreshing a single accent chair or redoing an entire living room set, the scope can be adjusted to fit your budget.

Service Area

Best Choice Upholstery is based in Mount Pleasant and is well positioned to serve the surrounding East Cooper area, including Isle of Palms, Sullivans Island, and portions of North Charleston. Customers from downtown Charleston also make the short trip across the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge for local reupholstery work. If you're in the greater Charleston metro area, it's worth a call to discuss your project.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does furniture reupholstery typically cost in Mount Pleasant?
Costs vary widely depending on the size of the piece, the fabric you choose, and the condition of the frame. A standard armchair might run a few hundred dollars, while a large sectional sofa could be significantly more. Getting an in-person or photo-based quote is the best way to get an accurate number for your specific piece.
Is it worth reupholstering old furniture instead of buying new?
It often makes sense, especially for well-built older pieces where the frame is solid. New furniture at a comparable quality level can cost much more than reupholstering what you already own. If the frame is sturdy and you love the piece, reupholstery is usually the smarter investment.
What types of fabric work best in coastal South Carolina homes?
Performance fabrics like Sunbrella or solution-dyed acrylics are popular choices near the coast because they resist moisture, mildew, and fading from UV exposure. Indoor/outdoor fabrics have improved dramatically and many look just as polished as traditional upholstery textiles. A good shop will help you find something that's both durable and suits your interior style.
How long does a typical reupholstery job take?
Most standard pieces take one to three weeks from drop-off to completion, though turnaround times vary based on the shop's current workload and how quickly fabric can be sourced. Larger or more complex projects like sectionals or antique pieces may take longer. It's always smart to ask for an estimated timeline upfront.
Can you reupholster furniture with pet damage?
Yes, scratched or torn fabric from pets is one of the most common reasons people bring furniture in for reupholstery. The shop will assess whether the foam or frame has also been damaged and factor that into the repair. Choosing a tightly woven or scratch-resistant fabric for the new covering can help prevent the same issue in the future.
Do I need to remove the furniture legs before bringing it in?
Most shops prefer you bring the piece as-is so they can assess it fully and handle disassembly themselves. Removing legs or cushion covers beforehand isn't usually necessary and could actually cause issues if done incorrectly. Just make sure the piece is clean and reasonably easy to transport.
