Services & Process

Crown Custom Upholstering specializes in furniture reupholstery and antique restoration, two services that often go hand in hand. Reupholstery involves stripping a piece down to its frame, inspecting and repairing the structure, replacing padding and springs as needed, and then applying new fabric or leather. Antique restoration requires an extra layer of care, matching period-appropriate materials and techniques so the finished piece looks right for its era. Customers typically bring in dining chairs, sofas, armchairs, and family heirlooms that hold real sentimental or monetary value.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you reupholster antique furniture without damaging the original frame?
Yes, preserving the original frame is a priority when working with antiques. A skilled upholsterer will inspect the frame first, make any necessary repairs, and strip the old fabric carefully so the underlying structure stays intact.
How do I choose the right fabric for a piece I want reupholstered?
The right fabric depends on how the piece is used and where it lives in your home. High-traffic seating needs a durable fabric like a tightly woven blend, while a decorative accent chair gives you more freedom to choose something lighter or more delicate.
Is it worth reupholstering an old sofa, or should I just buy new?
If the frame is solid and the piece has sentimental value or was built with quality construction, reupholstery is almost always worth it. Mass-produced furniture today often can't match the frame quality of older pieces, so restoring them makes practical sense.
How long does a typical reupholstery job take?
A single dining chair might take just a few days, while a large sofa or a complex antique piece can take two to four weeks. Availability of your chosen fabric can also affect the timeline.
Do you work on furniture that has sentimental value, like family heirlooms?
Absolutely, and many customers bring in exactly those kinds of pieces. Communicating the history and importance of the item upfront helps the shop understand what level of care and material matching is appropriate.
What's the typical price range for reupholstering a chair?
A basic dining chair can run anywhere from $100 to $300 depending on fabric choice and frame condition. A fully upholstered armchair or wingback can range from $400 to $900 or more, depending on complexity and materials.
