Frequently Asked Questions

Does Campion Upholstery handle antique furniture from Saint Paul's historic homes?
Saint Paul's older neighborhoods produce a steady flow of antique and vintage reupholstery requests, and experienced shops in this market are typically well-versed in handling delicate older frames. When you call, describe the piece's age and condition so they can let you know if it falls within their expertise.
How do I choose between reupholstering a piece myself versus hiring a professional in Saint Paul?
DIY reupholstery works reasonably well for simple flat-cushion dining chairs with basic fabric, but anything with curved lines, tufting, rolled arms, or a complex frame really does require professional skills to look right. A badly upholstered piece can actually reduce its value, so for anything you care about, it's worth the professional cost.
Can Campion Upholstery change the cushion firmness on my sofa during reupholstery?
Yes, foam replacement is typically part of the reupholstery process, and you can request a different density or thickness than the original. This is actually one of the best reasons to reupholster rather than just re-cover, since you're essentially getting a customized comfort level along with the new look.
How far in advance should I book an upholstery shop in Saint Paul?
Popular shops in the Twin Cities metro often have wait lists, especially in the fall and winter when people refresh their interiors ahead of the holiday season. Booking two to four weeks in advance is a safe baseline, though complex jobs or antique pieces may need more lead time for fabric sourcing.
What should I look for when inspecting finished reupholstery work?
Check that seams are straight and consistent, fabric patterns are aligned if the material has a repeat, and corners are cleanly pulled without bunching or gaps. Running your hand along the edges and seams will also tell you whether the fabric is securely attached and whether the padding feels even underneath.
Do Saint Paul upholstery shops offer any kind of warranty on their work?
Warranty policies vary by shop, but many professional upholsterers will stand behind their labor and fix issues that arise from workmanship errors within a reasonable period. It's a fair question to ask upfront so you understand what's covered before you drop off your furniture.
