Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery is the core offering here, covering everything from sofas and loveseats to dining chairs and ottomans. The process involves stripping old fabric down to the frame, repairing any structural issues, replacing foam or padding as needed, and applying your chosen material. Customers typically choose from a range of fabrics including cotton blends, velvet, microfiber, and faux leather. The shop can work with pieces you bring in or coordinate pickup for larger items that aren't easy to transport.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does furniture reupholstery typically cost in Louisville?
Costs vary quite a bit depending on the size of the piece, the fabric you choose, and the condition of the frame. A dining chair might run $100 to $200, while a full sofa can range from $600 to over $1,500. Calling ahead with a description of your piece helps get a more accurate estimate.
Is it worth reupholstering an old sofa instead of buying a new one?
It often is, especially if the frame is solid wood and structurally sound. Older furniture was frequently built with better bones than a lot of what you'll find at big-box retailers today. If you're attached to the piece or it has sentimental value, reupholstering is usually the smarter long-term investment.
Do I need to bring my furniture in, or do you offer pickup?
Many shops can arrange pickup for larger pieces like sectionals or heavy armchairs. It's best to call ahead and ask about logistics and whether there's a pickup fee involved. Smaller items like dining chairs are usually easy enough to bring in yourself.
Can I supply my own fabric?
Some upholstery shops will work with customer-supplied fabric, though not all of them do. You'll want to confirm this before purchasing your own yardage. If you do bring your own material, make sure to get an estimate of how much you'll need from the shop first.
How long does a typical reupholstery job take?
A single chair might be done in a few days, while a large sectional or a heavily detailed piece could take two to three weeks. Turnaround depends on the shop's current workload, so it's a good idea to ask for a timeline when you drop your piece off.
What types of fabric work best for high-traffic furniture?
For pieces that see a lot of daily use, tightly woven fabrics like canvas, microfiber, or performance blends tend to hold up better over time. Leather and faux leather are also durable choices for sofas and chairs that get used every day. The shop can help you match fabric durability to how you actually use the piece.
