Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery involves a complete surface renewal of upholstered pieces, starting with the removal of old fabric down to the frame, then rebuilding with fresh foam, batting, and new fabric of your choosing. Sofas, armchairs, wingback chairs, ottomans, headboards, and dining benches are all common candidates. The fabric selection process matters a lot here. Choices include cotton blends, velvet, chenille, performance weaves, and faux leather, each with different looks, feels, and durability profiles. A good shop helps you match fabric weight and texture to how the piece gets used.

Service Area

Bonny's Upholstery serves Garner and the communities that surround it, including south Raleigh, Fuquay-Varina, and Clayton. The shop is convenient for anyone in southern Wake County who wants local upholstery work without navigating the heart of Raleigh. Residents of nearby neighborhoods like Lake Benson and White Oak can also find this shop easily accessible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I reupholster just the cushions instead of the whole piece?
Yes, cushion-only reupholstery is a common and more affordable option when the main frame fabric is still in decent condition. You can have seat cushions, back cushions, or throw pillows recovered separately. Keep in mind that matching the original fabric exactly can be difficult if it's discontinued, so some customers opt to recover everything at once for a consistent look.
What's the best fabric for a sofa in a home with dogs?
Tightly woven fabrics like canvas, outdoor-grade polyester, and certain microfibers resist pet hair and claws better than loosely woven options. Leather and faux leather are also popular choices because they wipe clean easily, though sharp claws can scratch them. Ask the shop to show you samples specifically rated for high use, since those fabrics are worth the slightly higher cost.
Does Bonny's Upholstery offer free estimates?
Many local upholstery shops provide free or low-cost estimates, though policies vary. Calling ahead to ask is the quickest way to find out. Having photos ready or bringing the piece in speeds up the process significantly.
How do I transport a large sofa to an upholstery shop?
For large pieces, a pickup truck or a rented cargo van works well. Some shops also offer pickup service for an added fee, which is worth asking about if you don't have access to a large vehicle. Breaking a sectional into its individual pieces makes transport much more manageable.
Can vintage or antique-style furniture be reupholstered without losing its character?
Absolutely. Experienced upholstery craftspeople know how to work with period-style furniture in a way that preserves its proportions, detailing, and overall feel. You can choose fabrics that match the era or go for a fresh modern contrast. The key is communicating clearly with the shop about what you want to preserve versus what you're open to updating.
Is it possible to add extra padding or change the firmness of cushions during reupholstery?
Yes, and it's one of the most practical upgrades you can make during reupholstery. You can request higher-density foam for firmer support, softer foam for a plusher feel, or a combination of foam and down alternative for luxury comfort. Tell the shop how you use the piece and they can recommend the right fill.
