Services & Process

Chimo's handles full furniture reupholstery, which involves removing old fabric and padding, inspecting and repairing the frame, and applying new materials chosen by the customer. Their repair services address structural issues like broken legs, loose joints, and damaged springs without requiring a full fabric replacement. The refinishing side of their work covers wood staining, paint touch-ups, and surface restoration on frames and exposed wood components. Together, these three service areas mean a customer can bring in a beat-up antique and get it back in near-original condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does furniture refinishing involve, and is it different from reupholstery?
Refinishing focuses on the wood or hard surfaces of a furniture piece, including stripping old finish, sanding, staining, or repainting. Reupholstery deals with the fabric and padding, so the two services often work together on a full restoration.
Can Chimo's match existing fabric if I only need part of a sofa recovered?
Matching existing fabric is possible but depends on whether the material is still available through suppliers. Older or discontinued fabrics can be difficult to source, so the shop may recommend recovering the full piece for a consistent look.
How do I know if my furniture frame is worth reupholstering?
A solid hardwood frame, dovetail joints, and eight-way hand-tied springs are all signs a piece is worth the investment. The shop can assess the frame during a consultation and give you an honest evaluation.
Do you work with interior designers and decorators?
Many upholstery shops in LA, including those with refinishing services, regularly partner with interior designers who bring in client pieces for restoration. Trade pricing and priority scheduling are sometimes available for design professionals.
How long does refinishing a wood frame take compared to reupholstery?
Light refinishing on a chair or small table can take just a few days, while a full strip-and-restain job might take one to two weeks. Combining refinishing with reupholstery on the same piece adds time but saves you multiple trips.
What's the best way to care for newly reupholstered furniture?
Regular vacuuming, prompt spot cleaning, and keeping pieces out of direct sunlight will significantly extend the life of new upholstery fabric. Using a fabric protector spray at the time of reupholstery is also a smart move.
