Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery is the core service here, covering sofas, sectionals, armchairs, ottomans, and dining seating. The process typically involves stripping the old fabric down to the frame, inspecting and repairing the frame and springs as needed, replacing worn padding and foam, and then applying your chosen fabric with tight, clean finishing. Fabric selection is part of the service, so you can bring in swatches or browse options that work with your existing decor. Jobs range from simple seat cushion replacements to full frame-to-finish rebuilds on heavily used pieces.

Service Area

Bob's Upholstery serves customers throughout Greenville, SC and the surrounding Upstate region. Clients from nearby communities like Simpsonville, Mauldin, and Taylors regularly bring pieces in for reupholstery work.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my furniture is worth reupholstering?
The general rule is to compare the reupholstery cost to roughly 50% of what a comparable new piece would cost. If your frame is solid hardwood and the piece has sentimental or antique value, reupholstering almost always makes more sense than replacing it.
Can I bring my own fabric?
Most upholstery shops will work with customer-supplied fabric, though some charge a cutting or handling fee. Make sure you buy enough yardage since the shop will tell you exactly how much you need based on your piece's measurements and the fabric's pattern repeat.
How long does furniture reupholstery take in Greenville?
A typical chair or small loveseat takes about one to two weeks. Larger sectionals or pieces with detailed work can take three weeks or more. It's worth calling ahead to ask about current turnaround times, especially heading into spring when many people are refreshing their interiors.
Do upholstery shops in Greenville offer pickup and delivery?
Many local shops offer pickup and delivery for an additional fee, which is helpful for larger or heavier pieces like sofas. It's best to ask when you call since not all shops have this option available at all times.
What fabric types work best for furniture in South Carolina's climate?
Performance fabrics and tightly woven natural blends tend to hold up well in humid climates like Greenville's. Fabrics with a high rub count, typically 30,000 or above, are good choices for frequently used pieces since they resist wear and are easier to clean.
Can reupholstering fix a sagging seat or broken spring?
Yes, that's actually one of the best reasons to reupholster rather than just replace cushion covers. A good shop will inspect your frame and internal support structure and replace worn springs, webbing, or foam before applying new fabric.
