Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery is the core offering here, which covers everything from stripping old fabric down to the frame to rebuilding cushions and applying new material. The process typically includes foam replacement, spring retying if needed, and careful selection of durable fabric or leather. For pieces with sentimental value, like a grandmother's wingback or a favorite reading chair, good reupholstery preserves the bones of the piece while giving it a completely updated look. Customers usually bring in photos or fabric samples during the initial consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does furniture reupholstery typically take in Ann Arbor?
Most standard reupholstery jobs, like a sofa or armchair, take anywhere from two to four weeks depending on the shop's current workload and fabric availability. It's always a good idea to call ahead and ask about current turnaround times before dropping off your piece.
Is it worth reupholstering an old sofa instead of buying a new one?
If the frame is solid hardwood and in good structural condition, reupholstery is almost always worth it. Quality frames from older furniture are often built better than what you'll find in today's mass-market sofas, so preserving that structure with fresh fabric makes practical and financial sense.
Can I supply my own fabric for the job?
Most upholstery shops will work with customer-supplied fabric, but you'll want to confirm the yardage requirements first since miscalculating can delay the project. Make sure the fabric you choose is appropriate for upholstery use, as decorator fabric or drapery material won't hold up the same way.
What types of furniture can be reupholstered?
Almost any piece with a solid frame can be reupholstered, including sofas, loveseats, armchairs, dining chairs, ottomans, and headboards. The main factor is frame integrity. If the wood or metal base is sound, the rest is workable.
How do I get an estimate for my furniture?
The most accurate estimates come from bringing the piece in so the shop can inspect the frame, existing cushioning, and how much fabric will be needed. If that's not practical, detailed photos from multiple angles can give the shop enough information to provide a ballpark figure.
What fabric types work best for heavily used furniture?
For high-traffic pieces, tightly woven fabrics with a double rub count above 30,000 are generally the most durable, such as performance velvet, canvas, or commercial-grade polyester blends. Leather and faux leather are also excellent choices for durability and easy cleaning.
