Services & Process

Bilt-Rite Upholstery handles the full reupholstery process for residential furniture, which includes sofas, loveseats, recliners, dining chairs, headboards, and accent pieces. The process involves removing old fabric and worn padding, inspecting the underlying frame for any damage, and then applying new materials with professional stitching and finishing. Customers can typically choose from a range of fabric options including cotton blends, velvets, leathers, and performance fabrics suited for families with kids or pets. Custom cushion replacement is also a common add-on service for pieces with sagging or worn-out foam.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my furniture frame is worth reupholstering?
Solid wood frames, particularly hardwood construction, are almost always worth saving through reupholstery. If the frame is particleboard or showing signs of serious structural damage, the upholsterer will let you know honestly whether the investment makes sense.
What does Bilt-Rite charge for a typical sofa reupholstery job in Murfreesboro?
Pricing varies based on the sofa's size, style, and the fabric chosen, but a standard three-cushion sofa in a mid-range fabric typically runs anywhere from $800 to $1,800 in the Middle Tennessee market. Getting an in-person quote is the most reliable way to get an accurate number.
Can I bring in a swatch from a fabric store and have Bilt-Rite use it?
Yes, most upholstery shops work with customer-supplied fabric, though you'll need to purchase the correct yardage. The shop can tell you exactly how much you need once they measure your piece.
How long does sofa foam typically last before it needs replacing?
Standard furniture foam lasts roughly 10 to 15 years before it begins to compress and lose support, though cheap foam can fail much sooner. If your cushions feel flat or uneven, replacing the foam during reupholstery is usually worth the added cost.
Is it possible to reupholster a recliner without losing the reclining function?
Yes, experienced upholsterers disassemble recliners carefully to preserve the mechanical components, then reassemble everything after the new fabric is applied. It's a more involved job than a standard chair, so the cost and turnaround time will be slightly higher.
What fabric holds up best in a house with large dogs?
Tightly woven fabrics like microfiber, canvas, or synthetic performance materials tend to resist pet hair, claws, and odors better than loosely woven or natural fiber options. Leather and faux leather are also popular choices since they wipe clean easily, though they can show scratches from claws over time.
