Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery here means stripping old fabric down to the frame, inspecting and repairing the structure, and applying new materials chosen by the customer. For antique pieces, the process is more careful, involving period-appropriate fabrics and techniques that respect the original craftsmanship. The shop also works with used, vintage, and consignment furniture, which can mean sourcing pieces, restoring them, and helping customers decide whether to reupholster or resell. Fabric selection is part of the service, giving customers real choices rather than a limited catalog.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you reupholster an antique chair without damaging its original frame?
Yes, antique restoration starts with a careful inspection of the frame to identify any weak joints or damage before any fabric is touched. The goal is to reinforce the existing structure rather than replace it, so the piece retains its original character and value.
What kinds of fabric work best for vintage furniture in Florida's humid climate?
Performance fabrics that resist moisture and fading are smart choices in Central Florida, where humidity can cause standard materials to degrade faster. Many customers also choose indoor-outdoor fabrics for vintage pieces that sit near windows or in Florida rooms.
Do you work with consignment pieces that I didn't buy from your shop?
Absolutely. Customers bring in pieces from estate sales, thrift stores, and their own homes all the time. The shop evaluates each piece individually to determine what it needs and whether reupholstery makes financial sense given the item's condition and value.
How long does furniture reupholstery typically take in Winter Park?
Most standard pieces take one to three weeks depending on complexity and current workload. Antique or heavily structural projects can take longer, especially if frame repairs are needed before fabric work begins.
Is it worth reupholstering an old sofa, or should I just buy a new one?
It depends on the quality of the frame. Older furniture, especially pieces made before the 1980s, often has solid hardwood frames that outlast anything you'd find at a retail store today. If the frame is sound, reupholstery is usually the better long-term investment.
Can I bring fabric I already purchased for my project?
Many shops do accept customer-supplied fabric, though you'll want to confirm yardage requirements before purchasing. The shop can advise on how much fabric a specific piece needs so you don't end up short mid-project.
