About Bob & Sons Refinishing

Bob and Sons Refinishing has been serving Brooklyn customers with furniture reupholstery work and has built a 4.2 rating across 15 reviews, the most reviewed shop in this group. Brooklyn's diverse mix of brownstone apartments, loft conversions, and historic townhouses creates constant demand for quality restoration work. With a name like Bob and Sons, this is clearly a family operation where craftsmanship gets passed down. That kind of history tends to show up in the finished product.

Services

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

The shop handles furniture reupholstery across a range of piece types, from vintage armchairs found at estate sales to modern sectionals that need a fabric refresh. Refinishing work often goes hand in hand with reupholstery, addressing scratched or worn wood frames at the same time as the fabric. Cushion replacement, padding upgrades, and decorative details like piping or button tufting are all part of what a full reupholstery job can include. Brooklyn customers often bring in pieces with specific aesthetic goals tied to their home's existing style.

Service Area

Bob and Sons Refinishing is located in Brooklyn and serves customers across the borough, from Bay Ridge and Sunset Park to Park Slope and Williamsburg. The shop's central Brooklyn location makes it reachable for customers in Queens and Staten Island who want a skilled shop with a track record. Delivery options for finished pieces are worth asking about.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you refinish wooden furniture at the same time as reupholstering it?
Yes, combining both services in one visit is actually ideal since the piece is already in the shop. Refinishing the exposed wood frame while new fabric is being applied saves time and ensures everything looks consistent.
How do I know if a piece is worth reupholstering?
The key factor is frame quality. Solid hardwood frames, especially on older pieces, are built to last decades and are absolutely worth restoring. Particleboard frames are harder to justify unless the piece has sentimental value.
Do you work with Brooklyn interior designers?
Many upholstery shops in Brooklyn regularly partner with interior designers and decorators. If you're a designer with client projects, it's worth asking about trade pricing or priority scheduling.
What's the difference between reupholstery and slipcovers?
Reupholstery permanently replaces the fabric on the furniture itself, while slipcovers are removable covers that fit over the existing piece. Reupholstery gives a cleaner, more tailored look and is generally more durable long term.
How many yards of fabric do I need for a sofa?
A standard three-seat sofa typically requires between 12 and 18 yards of fabric, depending on the design, pattern repeat, and number of cushions. Your upholsterer will give you a specific yardage requirement before you purchase anything.
Can you reupholster a piece to look like new rather than vintage?
Absolutely. The fabric and finishing details you choose determine the final look. You can take a classic Victorian chair and reupholster it in a clean modern linen for an entirely contemporary result.
