Services

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Butlers Upholstering focuses on furniture reupholstery, covering the full range of residential upholstered pieces including sofas, loveseats, armchairs, dining chairs, and ottomans. The process involves stripping old fabric, inspecting and replacing worn padding or spring systems, and applying new fabric chosen by the customer from available options. Cushion replacement is a common standalone service for customers whose furniture frames are still in good shape but whose seat cushions have gone flat or lumpy over time. Custom fabric sourcing means customers aren't limited to a small in-stock selection, and the shop can work with fabrics customers bring themselves in many cases.

Service Area

Butlers Upholstering is based in Cross Plains and serves western Dane County, including Black Earth, Mazomanie, and Middleton. Madison residents on the west side of the city are also within easy reach. The shop's rural location makes it a natural fit for customers throughout the hill country between Madison and the Wisconsin River.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it worth reupholstering an older sofa, or should I just buy new?
If the frame is solid hardwood and the piece has good bones, reupholstery almost always makes financial and practical sense. You'll get a result that fits your exact style, and quality older frames often outlast anything built today at a similar price.
Can I bring my own fabric to an upholstery shop?
Many upholstery shops will work with customer-supplied fabric, though they may charge a cutting fee and will typically note that they can't warranty work on materials they didn't source. It's a good question to ask upfront when you call.
How do I choose the right fabric for a heavily used piece of furniture?
For high-traffic pieces, look for tightly woven fabrics with a high rub count, such as performance fabrics or tightly woven wool blends. The shop can help you understand the durability ratings of available options before you commit.
Do you serve customers outside Cross Plains in Dane County?
Yes, western Dane County communities like Black Earth, Mazomanie, and Middleton are all within the typical service area. Madison-area customers on the west side also make the short drive regularly.
What happens if hidden damage is found after work begins on my furniture?
Reputable shops contact you before proceeding if they find broken springs, cracked frames, or other issues that weren't visible in the initial assessment. You'll have the chance to approve any additional work and cost before it's done.
How should I care for newly reupholstered furniture to make it last?
Regular vacuuming, prompt spot cleaning with appropriate fabric cleaners, and keeping upholstered pieces out of direct sunlight all help extend the life of new fabric significantly. The shop can give you specific care recommendations based on the material used.
