Services

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery is the core offering here, covering everything from sofas and sectionals to dining chairs, accent chairs, and ottomans. The process typically involves stripping the old fabric down to the frame, inspecting and repairing the underlying structure, replacing worn foam or padding, and applying the new fabric with professional-grade stitching. Customers bring in family heirloom pieces, mid-century modern finds, and everyday living room staples. The goal is restoring both the look and the structural integrity so the piece lasts another decade or more.

Service Area

Covington Upholstery primarily serves Covington and the surrounding King County communities, including Maple Valley, Black Diamond, and Auburn. Kent and Renton residents also make the trip for quality reupholstery work in this part of the South King County corridor.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my furniture is worth reupholstering?
The frame is the most important factor. If the frame is solid hardwood and the piece has good proportions, reupholstery almost always makes financial and practical sense. Pieces that originally cost a few hundred dollars on the low end may not justify the cost, but anything with solid construction is usually a strong candidate.
Can I bring my own fabric?
Many shops accept customer-supplied fabric, but you'll want to confirm yardage requirements before purchasing. Upholsterers can tell you exactly how many yards you need based on the piece's dimensions and your fabric's pattern repeat.
How long does furniture reupholstery typically take in the Covington area?
Most standard pieces like sofas or armchairs take one to three weeks. Intricate work, custom tufting, or high-volume periods around the holidays can extend that timeline. It's worth asking upfront so you can plan accordingly.
Do upholstery shops also fix broken frames?
Yes, most full-service upholsterers handle basic frame repairs as part of the reupholstery process. If a leg is wobbly or a joint has come loose, that gets addressed before the new fabric goes on. Major structural damage might be referred to a furniture repair specialist.
What fabrics work best for high-traffic furniture?
Performance fabrics rated for 30,000 or more double rubs hold up well in busy households. Crypton, Sunbrella, and solution-dyed acrylics are popular choices because they resist staining and fading. Your upholsterer can walk you through the options based on how the piece gets used.
Is it cheaper to reupholster or buy new furniture?
For quality pieces, reupholstery is often the better value, especially compared to buying comparable new furniture. A solidly built sofa reupholstered for $600 to $1,200 will typically outlast a $500 to $800 mass-market replacement by years. The math usually favors restoring good bones.
