Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery at CJC involves stripping old fabric down to the frame, inspecting the springs and webbing, replacing padding as needed, and applying your chosen fabric for a result that looks and feels new. Furniture repair addresses structural issues like broken legs, loose joints, sagging seats, and damaged frames before any fabric work begins. Customers can bring in dining chairs, sofas, ottomans, headboards, and other upholstered pieces. The shop works with a range of fabrics including performance textiles, velvets, and pet-resistant materials suited to active households.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my furniture is worth reupholstering versus replacing it?
A good rule of thumb is to compare the reupholstery cost against 50 to 70 percent of what a comparable new piece would cost. If the frame is solid wood and structurally sound, reupholstering almost always makes more financial and environmental sense.
Can CJC handle both the fabric replacement and structural repairs in one visit?
Yes, combining frame repair with reupholstery in a single project is common and actually more efficient. Addressing any wobbly joints or broken supports before applying new fabric ensures the finished piece will hold up long-term.
What types of fabric can I choose from for my project?
Most upholstery shops carry or can source hundreds of fabric options, including cotton blends, microfiber, velvet, linen, and performance fabrics designed to resist stains and moisture. If you have a specific fabric in mind, you can often supply your own material as well.
How long does a typical furniture reupholstery project take in Durham?
A single chair might be completed in three to five business days, while a full sofa could take one to three weeks depending on the shop's current schedule. It's always smart to ask about lead times before committing, especially if you're working around a deadline.
Do I need to transport large furniture to the shop myself?
Many upholstery shops in the Durham area can arrange pickup and delivery for larger pieces like sofas and sectionals, though there's usually an additional fee. It's worth asking when you call, since it can save a lot of hassle with heavy or delicate items.
Will reupholstered furniture look as good as new?
When done professionally, reupholstered furniture often looks better than new because you're choosing the exact fabric and finish you want rather than settling for what's in stock. The quality of the result depends on the skill of the shop and the quality of materials used.
