About C & S Refinishing & Upholstery

C & S Refinishing & Upholstery is a Knoxville shop with a 3.9-star rating from 9 reviews, and it covers more ground than most upholstery businesses in the area. By combining antique work, reupholstery, and furniture repair, they serve a broad range of customers from collectors looking to restore inherited pieces to homeowners who just need a dining chair fixed. Knoxville has an active antique and vintage furniture scene, and shops that can handle both the wood refinishing and the fabric work on the same piece save customers a lot of coordination. That combination is genuinely useful.

Services & Process

Antique restoration at this shop involves careful refinishing of wood surfaces, stripping old finishes without damaging the original material, and reapplying stains or lacquers that match the period of the piece. Furniture reupholstery means removing old fabric, repairing the underlying structure, and applying new fabric or leather in a style appropriate to the piece's age and design. Furniture repair covers structural fixes like joint regluing, veneer repair, and hardware replacement. The ability to handle all three disciplines in one shop is especially valuable for antique pieces, which often need work on the wood and fabric simultaneously.

Service Area

C & S Refinishing & Upholstery serves Knoxville and the surrounding Knox County region. Customers from communities like Bearden, North Knoxville, and East Knoxville regularly bring pieces to the shop. The location is accessible for clients coming in from neighboring counties like Blount and Loudon as well.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you refinish and reupholster an antique chair in the same visit?
Yes, that's actually the shop's core strength. Handling both the wood refinishing and fabric work on the same piece means the project is managed in one place, and the end result looks intentional and consistent rather than mismatched.
How do you handle antique pieces that are fragile or have loose joints?
Antique furniture is assessed carefully before any work begins, and fragile joints or cracked wood are addressed during the repair phase before refinishing starts. The shop uses techniques appropriate to older wood, which often means gentler chemical strippers and hand application rather than mechanical sanding.
What fabric options are available for antique chair reupholstery?
Period-appropriate fabrics like brocade, velvet, and damask are available for antique pieces, as well as more durable modern fabrics if the owner prefers longevity over historical accuracy. The team can guide you on what works best for the era and style of your piece.
Is it possible to restore veneer that's peeling or chipped?
Veneer repair is a standard part of furniture restoration at C & S. Small chips and lifting sections can usually be reglued and touched up, while larger damage may require sourcing matching veneer to patch the affected area.
Do you work on pieces that other shops have declined to take on?
The shop handles complex antique and combination jobs that require multiple skill sets, which sometimes means taking on pieces other shops turned away. It's worth calling at (865) 219-8070 to describe your piece and get an honest assessment.
How do I know if an antique piece is worth the cost of full restoration?
The value calculation depends on both the monetary and sentimental worth of the piece. The shop can help you understand the scope of work required and give you an estimate, which you can compare against what the piece might sell for or what replacing it would cost.
