Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery here covers everything from full strip-and-recover jobs on sofas and sectionals to smaller tasks like dining chair seats and ottomans. The work involves removing existing material, evaluating and replacing foam or batting as needed, and applying new fabric with proper tensioning and finishing. New York clients often bring in eclectic pieces, so the ability to handle different construction styles matters. Custom fabric matching is also part of what makes these services useful for clients trying to preserve a specific design aesthetic in their home.

Service Area

Cortorreal Upholstery serves customers throughout New York City's five boroughs. Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx are all within reach, making it a practical choice for city residents who don't want to ship furniture outside the metro area.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it typically cost to reupholster a couch in New York City?
In NYC, reupholstering a standard three-seat sofa generally runs between $800 and $2,000 depending on fabric choice, the amount of work needed, and the shop's rates. It sounds like a lot, but replacing a quality sofa in the city often costs three to four times that amount.
Can a reupholstery shop fix broken springs in my couch?
Yes, spring repair is usually part of a full reupholstery job since the shop has to access the interior of the piece anyway. If your cushions are sinking or you feel lumps when you sit, that's a sign the springs or webbing need attention, not just new fabric.
Do I need to empty out a couch or chair before dropping it off?
It's a good idea to remove any cushions you're keeping and check for any small valuables that may have slipped into crevices. The shop will handle the rest, but a clean handoff makes the process smoother for everyone.
How do I transport a sofa to an upholstery shop in New York City?
Renting a cargo van for a few hours is usually the most practical option for large pieces in the city. Some shops offer pickup services, which is worth asking about upfront, especially if you're on a higher floor with no elevator.
Can upholstery work be done on pieces with unusual shapes or custom dimensions?
Custom and non-standard shapes are actually pretty common in a city like New York, where people collect one-of-a-kind pieces. A skilled upholsterer can work with irregular forms and will often pattern-cut fabric specifically for the piece.
What's the difference between reupholstering and slip-covering a piece of furniture?
Reupholstering permanently replaces the fabric and often updates the padding underneath, giving you a like-new result. Slip covers are a removable solution that sits over the existing upholstery, which is cheaper but won't address structural wear or foam breakdown.
