Services

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery is the core service here, which covers everything from stripping old fabric down to the frame, replacing worn batting and foam, and applying new fabric or leather. Dining chairs, sofas, sectionals, ottomans, and headboards are all common projects. Fabric selection is typically part of the process, with shops like this sourcing from multiple suppliers to match your color scheme or decor style. For pieces with damaged frames or broken springs, basic structural repairs often happen alongside the reupholstery work.

Service Area

Cranson Custom Upholstery is based in Tempe and serves customers throughout the East Valley, including Mesa, Chandler, and Scottsdale. Tempe's central location in the Phoenix metro makes it convenient for clients across the greater Maricopa County area who are looking for reliable reupholstery work.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if a piece of furniture is worth reupholstering?
If the frame is solid wood and structurally sound, reupholstery almost always makes financial sense compared to buying new, especially for quality pieces. A good rule of thumb is that reupholstery is worth it when the piece has sentimental value, a quality frame, or would cost significantly more to replace than to restore.
How long does furniture reupholstery typically take in Tempe?
Most projects take one to three weeks depending on the complexity of the piece and how busy the shop is. A single dining chair might turn around in a few days, while a large sectional sofa could take closer to two or three weeks.
Can I bring my own fabric to the shop?
Many upholstery shops will work with customer-supplied fabric, but you'll want to confirm this ahead of time and make sure you have enough yardage. The shop can usually tell you exactly how many yards you'll need once they've assessed the piece.
Does reupholstering furniture include replacing the foam and padding?
It depends on the condition of the existing foam and padding, and that's something the shop will assess when they strip the old fabric. Replacing worn foam is common and makes a big difference in how the finished piece feels and holds its shape.
What types of fabric work best for high-traffic furniture in Arizona's heat?
In Arizona's climate, tightly woven fabrics like microfiber or performance weaves tend to hold up better against sun exposure and regular use. Leather is also a popular choice since it's durable, though it benefits from conditioning in dry desert air.
Do upholstery shops in Tempe offer pickup and delivery?
Some do, though it varies by shop and project size. It's worth asking upfront, especially for large or heavy pieces like sofas or sectionals that are difficult to transport yourself.
