Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best fabric for a sofa in a home with kids and pets?
Performance fabrics, particularly those made with tightly woven synthetic fibers or treated with stain-resistant coatings, hold up significantly better than natural linens or loosely woven textiles. Microfiber and solution-dyed acrylics are popular choices for family-friendly reupholstery. Your upholsterer can point you toward options that are both durable and attractive.
How do I get a quote from an upholstery shop?
Most shops prefer to see the piece in person before giving a firm quote, since the frame condition and exact yardage requirements affect pricing. A phone description can give you a rough ballpark, but the final number comes after inspection. Bringing photos of the piece when you call can sometimes help speed up the initial estimate.
Can you match fabric to something else in my home?
Upholsterers work with fabric samples and can often find something that coordinates with your existing decor if you bring in a pillow, curtain swatch, or even a good photo. An exact match is rarely possible unless you're replacing fabric on one piece from a matched set. However, a skilled shop can guide you toward complementary options that look intentional.
Is there a minimum order or single-piece minimum?
Most residential upholstery shops are happy to work on a single chair or one piece of furniture. There's generally no minimum order requirement for individual customers. Commercial clients ordering multiple pieces may be able to negotiate pricing for larger quantities.
How long will reupholstered furniture last?
A well-executed reupholstery job using quality fabric can last 10 to 15 years or longer with normal care. The longevity depends heavily on fabric choice, how the piece is used, and whether the frame was properly repaired during the process. Choosing a heavier fabric grade for high-traffic pieces will extend the life of the work considerably.
Do upholstery shops in Dedham offer pickup and delivery?
Some shops offer pickup and delivery as an added service, which is especially helpful for large or heavy pieces. It's worth asking when you call, since availability varies by shop and season. Expect a fee for this convenience, though it can be worth it for sectionals or oversized armchairs.
