Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery is the core service here, which means stripping worn fabric down to the frame, repairing any structural issues, and applying new material so the piece looks and feels brand new. Antique restoration goes a step further, addressing the wood frame, joinery, and period-appropriate fabric choices to preserve historical integrity. Cushion replacement is often part of this process, especially on pieces where foam or batting has broken down over decades. Clients can typically expect help selecting fabrics that match the era or interior style they're working with.

Service Area

Cover Craft primarily serves Montgomery and the surrounding Central Alabama region. Customers from nearby communities like Wetumpka, Pike Road, and Prattville also bring pieces in for restoration work. The shop's location in Montgomery makes it accessible to much of the River Region.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you restore antique furniture that has significant frame damage?
Frame repair is often part of the restoration process, especially on older pieces where joints have loosened or wood has cracked. The extent of the repair affects the final cost, so it's best to bring the piece in for an inspection before assuming it's beyond saving.
How do I choose the right fabric for an antique piece?
The shop can guide you toward fabrics that suit the era and style of your furniture, whether that's a period-accurate woven textile or a more durable modern option that still looks appropriate. Bringing photos of your room's existing décor can help narrow down the choices.
How long does a typical furniture reupholstery project take?
Most standard reupholstery jobs take one to three weeks depending on the complexity of the piece and the shop's current workload. Antique restoration with frame repair can take longer, especially if specialty materials need to be ordered.
Is it worth reupholstering an old sofa instead of buying a new one?
If the frame is solid, reupholstering is almost always worth it, especially for antique or heirloom pieces that have sentimental value or quality construction that's hard to find in new furniture. Modern sofas are often built with cheaper frames that won't last as long as a well-restored older piece.
Do you work with interior designers on residential projects in Montgomery?
Yes, many upholstery shops in Montgomery work regularly with interior designers who need reliable craftspeople to execute fabric selections for client homes. It's a good idea to call ahead to discuss timelines and any trade pricing that may be available.
Can you match the original fabric on an antique piece?
Exact fabric matching is difficult but not always necessary. The shop can source period-appropriate alternatives that closely match the original in texture, pattern, and weight. Bringing a fabric sample or detailed photos gives the craftsman the best chance of finding a close match.
