Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery is the core offering here, which means stripping old fabric down to the frame, replacing worn foam or batting, and recovering pieces in the material you choose. This process works on sofas, loveseats, chairs, ottomans, headboards, and dining room seating. Fabric selection is part of the service, helping you match durability to how the piece actually gets used. Pieces that see heavy daily use get different fabric recommendations than formal living room items that rarely get touched.

Service Area

Covers Upholstery serves Virginia Beach and the broader Hampton Roads area. Customers from neighboring cities like Chesapeake and Norfolk regularly bring pieces in for work. The shop's location in Virginia Beach makes it convenient for residents across the South Hampton Roads region.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is reupholstering a sofa worth it compared to buying new?
It depends on the quality of the frame. Older sofas with hardwood frames are often worth far more than their replacement cost once you factor in the price of a comparable new piece. If the frame is solid and you love the size and shape, reupholstery usually makes good financial sense.
How long does furniture reupholstery typically take?
Most standard pieces like chairs or loveseats take one to two weeks once fabric arrives. Larger sectionals or pieces with complex detailing can take three weeks or more. Lead times vary by how busy the shop is, so it's worth asking when you drop off.
Can I bring my own fabric to the shop?
Many upholstery shops accept customer-supplied fabric, but you'll want to confirm before purchasing anything. You'll also need to make sure you have enough yardage, and the shop can give you a yardage estimate based on the piece's dimensions.
What fabric holds up best in a home with kids and pets?
Performance fabrics with high rub counts, such as commercial-grade polyester blends or tightly woven microfibers, handle daily abuse well. Crypton and similar treated fabrics resist stains and moisture, which makes cleanup much easier in busy households.
Do you replace the foam when reupholstering?
Foam replacement is typically part of the job when the existing cushions have flattened or lost their shape. You can choose different foam densities depending on how firm you want the finished seat. High-density foam costs more but lasts significantly longer.
Can a reupholstery shop change the style of a piece, not just recover it?
Yes, skilled upholsterers can modify details like adding tufting, changing cushion styles, or altering arm profiles in some cases. It's worth discussing what changes you want during the initial consultation so the shop can tell you what's feasible.
