Services

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

The shop focuses specifically on furniture reupholstery and custom slipcovers, two services that solve very different problems. Reupholstery involves stripping a piece down to its frame, replacing foam and padding, and applying new fabric permanently. Slipcovers, by contrast, are removable fabric covers tailored to fit your existing furniture, which is ideal for renters or anyone who wants to change up their look without a full commitment. Both require precise measurement and sewing skill, and this shop handles both in-house.

Service Area

The shop serves Clarkston and the surrounding DeKalb County communities, including Decatur, Tucker, Stone Mountain, and Avondale Estates. It's also convenient for customers coming in from Lithonia or Conyers who want professional upholstery work closer to the eastern suburbs. The location puts it within easy reach of much of metro Atlanta's east side.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a slipcover and reupholstery?
Reupholstery permanently replaces the fabric and often the padding on a piece of furniture, while a slipcover is a removable fitted cover that goes over the existing upholstery. Slipcovers are great for renters or people who want flexibility, while reupholstery is a longer-term fix.
Can you make a slipcover for any style of sofa?
Most sofas can be fitted with a custom slipcover, though very curved or unusually shaped pieces take more work to fit cleanly. Bringing in photos and measurements upfront helps the shop assess whether your piece is a good candidate.
Is it cheaper to get a slipcover than to reupholster?
Slipcovers are typically less expensive than full reupholstery since there's less labor involved in stripping and rebuilding the piece. The cost difference depends on fabric choice and the complexity of the fit.
Do you supply the fabric or do I bring my own?
Many shops like this one can source fabric for you, but you can also bring your own if you've found something you love elsewhere. Just confirm yardage requirements before purchasing so you don't end up short.
How do I care for a custom slipcover after it's made?
Care instructions depend entirely on the fabric used, so ask the shop when your slipcover is finished. Many cotton and synthetic blend slipcovers are machine washable, which is one of the main practical advantages of choosing a slipcover over reupholstery.
Can slipcovers be made to look tailored rather than baggy?
Yes, a well-made custom slipcover should fit tightly and look intentional, not thrown-on. The key is accurate measurements and using the right amount of fabric ease during construction, which is where professional skill makes a real difference.
