Frequently Asked Questions

What types of furniture does C & M Upholstery work on?
C & M handles a wide range of upholstered furniture including sofas, sectionals, armchairs, dining chairs, ottomans, and recliners. If you have something less common, it's worth calling to describe the piece and confirm they can take it on.
How do I choose the right fabric for my furniture?
The best fabric choice depends on how the piece will be used. High-traffic items like family room sofas do well with tightly woven, stain-resistant fabrics, while decorative accent chairs can handle more delicate options like linen or velvet.
Can you replace just the cushions on my sofa without reupholstering the whole thing?
Cushion replacement is often possible as a standalone service, depending on the condition of the rest of the sofa's fabric. The shop can assess whether a partial update makes sense or whether a full reupholstery would give you a more consistent result.
Do you work with interior designers in Des Moines?
Yes, upholstery shops frequently work alongside interior designers who are specifying custom fabric for client projects. If you're a designer, it's worth reaching out to discuss how the shop handles trade orders or designer-supplied materials.
How much should I expect to spend on furniture reupholstery in Des Moines?
Costs vary based on the size of the piece, the fabric selected, and the condition of the frame and cushions. A single chair might run a few hundred dollars while a large sofa with complex construction can cost significantly more. Getting a quote after an assessment gives you the most accurate number.
Can antique or vintage furniture be reupholstered without damaging its value?
Yes, experienced upholstery shops know how to work with antique pieces carefully, preserving the original frame and construction while replacing only the worn materials. Using period-appropriate fabrics and traditional techniques helps maintain the piece's character and integrity.
