Frequently Asked Questions

What styles of furniture does Casual To Classic work on?
The shop's name reflects its range: they handle both casual, everyday furniture and more classic or formal pieces. That means you can bring in a sectional sofa from a family room or an antique wingback chair and expect skilled work on both. If you have something unusual or heavily detailed, describe it when you call so the shop can confirm they're equipped to handle it.
How do I prepare my furniture before dropping it off for reupholstery?
Clear out any items stored in or under the furniture and remove any cushions or decorative pillows you want to keep. You don't need to strip the old fabric yourself since that's part of the job. If the piece has legs that unscrew, leaving them on is usually fine since the shop will handle any disassembly needed.
Can you reupholster a recliner or a chair with a mechanical mechanism?
Yes, recliners can be reupholstered, though they take more time and labor than a standard chair because the upholsterer has to work around the mechanical components. The mechanism is typically tested before and after the job to make sure it still operates correctly. Expect the cost to be higher than a basic armchair due to the added complexity.
What's the best way to care for newly reupholstered furniture?
Regular vacuuming removes dust and debris before it works into the fabric fibers, which extends the life of the material significantly. For spills, blot immediately rather than rubbing, since rubbing spreads the stain and can damage the weave. Ask the shop what cleaning products are safe for your specific fabric, since some materials require special care.
Can reupholstering furniture save money compared to buying new?
It depends on the quality of the piece and what new furniture would cost. A solidly built sofa that would cost $2,000 to replace new might be reupholstered for $800 to $1,200, which is real savings if the frame is still in great shape. For cheap furniture that would cost $400 to replace, reupholstery rarely makes financial sense unless there's sentimental value involved.
Do upholstery shops in the Taylor area offer free estimates?
Many shops offer free or low-cost estimates, especially if you bring the piece in or provide good photos and measurements over the phone. It's always worth calling ahead to ask, since policies vary from shop to shop. Getting estimates from a couple of shops helps you understand the going rate for your specific project.
