Frequently Asked Questions

How much does furniture reupholstery cost in Meridian?
Pricing depends heavily on the size of the piece, the fabric you choose, and whether any structural work is needed. A dining chair might run $150 to $400, while a full sofa can range from $800 to $2,500 or more. Getting an in-person estimate is the best way to know exactly what your project will cost.
Is it worth reupholstering older furniture instead of buying new?
It often makes financial and practical sense, especially for solid-wood frames or pieces with sentimental value. New furniture at a comparable quality level typically costs more than a professional reupholstery job. You also get to choose exactly the fabric and finish you want rather than settling for what's in stock.
What types of fabric work best for homes with kids or pets?
Performance fabrics like Crypton, Sunbrella, or tightly woven synthetic blends hold up well to heavy use and are easier to clean. These materials resist staining and moisture better than standard upholstery fabrics. Your upholsterer can show you samples and explain the tradeoffs between durability and texture.
How long does a typical reupholstery project take?
Most standard furniture pieces take one to three weeks from drop-off to completion. Larger or more complex projects, like sectionals or antique pieces requiring frame repair, can take longer. It's a good idea to ask for a specific timeline estimate when you get your quote.
Can you reupholster furniture that has broken springs or a cracked frame?
Yes, structural repairs are a common part of the reupholstery process. Springs can be retied or replaced, and frames can often be reinforced or repaired before new fabric is applied. Addressing these issues at the same time as the reupholstery makes the finished piece much more durable.
Do I need to remove the legs or disassemble furniture before bringing it in?
Usually not. Upholsterers are accustomed to handling furniture as it comes in and will disassemble what's needed during the restoration process. If your piece is very large or awkward to transport, it's worth calling ahead to discuss the best approach.
