Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Craig's Upholstery handles furniture reupholstery across a range of piece types, from accent chairs and settees to full-size sofas and sectionals. The work involves removing worn fabric down to the frame, evaluating and replacing internal foam or spring systems, and applying new fabric with the kind of taut, even finish that separates professional work from amateur attempts. Customers bring in everything from inherited family pieces to thrift-store finds they want to transform. Each job gets individual attention rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Service Area

Craig's Upholstery serves customers throughout Baton Rouge and surrounding East Baton Rouge Parish. Residents from neighborhoods across the city, including those on the north and south ends of town, regularly use the shop for reupholstery work. The location is also accessible to customers coming in from nearby parishes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right fabric for a piece I'm reupholstering?
Think about how the piece gets used before you think about color or pattern. A dining chair that gets daily use from kids needs a tightly woven, stain-resistant fabric, while a formal accent chair in a low-traffic room gives you more flexibility. The shop can show you samples and explain what each fabric's durability and cleaning requirements look like in practice.
Can Craig's Upholstery work on antique furniture without damaging its value?
Reupholstering an antique can preserve or improve its usability while maintaining most of its value, as long as the work is done carefully and with appropriate materials. It's worth mentioning if a piece has any particular historical significance so the shop can discuss the approach with you. In most cases, a fresh covering on a structurally sound antique frame is a net positive.
What happens if my furniture's internal springs are broken?
Broken or sagging springs are a common finding when old furniture gets stripped down, and most upholstery shops can repair or replace them as part of the job. This adds to the total cost but is essential for the piece to sit and feel right once it's recovered. Skipping spring repair and just adding new foam on top is a short-term fix that won't hold up.
Is leather reupholstery available, or only fabric?
Many upholstery shops work with leather as well as fabric, though leather does cost more per yard and requires different techniques during installation. If you want leather on a piece that had fabric before, the shop can assess whether the frame and construction support that change. It's always worth asking since leather options vary quite a bit by shop.
How do I transport a large piece of furniture to the shop?
For large sofas or sectionals, a pickup truck or cargo van is the most practical option. Some customers borrow a vehicle from a friend or family member, while others rent a van for the day. If moving the piece yourself isn't realistic, ask the shop if they offer pickup service or can recommend someone who does.
Will the finished piece look like new, or will it still show its age?
A professionally reupholstered piece will have fresh, taut fabric and new padding, which makes a dramatic visual and comfort difference. However, frame age and any remaining visible wood elements will still reflect the piece's history. Most customers find the result looks significantly better than expected, especially on pieces with classic shapes that translate well to modern fabrics.
