Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery at a shop with a broad name like Continental typically means the ability to handle a wide range of pieces, from traditional wingback chairs and Chesterfield sofas to more contemporary sectionals and platform beds. The work includes frame inspection and repair, spring retying or replacement if needed, foam and padding updates, and professional fabric application. Many customers bring in pieces that have been handed down through families, and getting the restoration right, structurally and aesthetically, is what separates a skilled shop from a basic one.

Continental Upholstery serves Colorado Springs and the surrounding El Paso County area, including communities near Fort Carson to the south, Peterson Space Force Base to the east, and the neighborhoods stretching toward Monument to the north.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you reupholster antique furniture without damaging its value?
An experienced upholsterer knows how to work with antique frames carefully, preserving original joinery and construction methods where possible. For pieces with collector value, it's worth discussing the restoration approach in detail before work begins to make sure the method aligns with your goals.
How much does it cost to reupholster a sofa in Colorado Springs?
Costs vary widely depending on the size of the sofa, the fabric you choose, and whether any structural repairs are needed. A general range for a standard three-cushion sofa is roughly $800 to $2,000 or more, though your shop will give you a more accurate figure after inspecting the piece.
Can springs in old furniture be repaired or replaced?
Yes, spring repair and retying is a standard part of upholstery restoration. It's especially common with older sofas and chairs where the original coil springs have loosened over decades of use. Repairing the spring system before applying new fabric is essential for the piece to feel right long-term.
What types of foam are used in furniture reupholstery?
Upholstery foam comes in different densities and firmness levels, from soft cushion foam for back pillows to high-density foam for seat cushions that need to hold their shape under regular use. A good shop will match the foam type to how the piece is used and the feel you're looking for.
Is it worth reupholstering military-issued or barracks-style furniture?
Generally no, since that type of furniture is designed for function rather than longevity or craftsmanship. Reupholstery makes the most sense for quality pieces worth preserving, like solid wood-framed sofas, heirloom chairs, or custom pieces that would be expensive to replace.
How do I transport a large sofa to an upholstery shop?
A pickup truck or cargo van works for most standard sofas. Some upholstery shops offer pickup and delivery services for an additional fee, which is worth asking about if you don't have access to a larger vehicle. Disassembling legs and removing cushions can make transport easier in smaller vehicles.
