Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery services typically include full fabric replacement on sofas, chairs, headboards, and dining seating, along with cushion re-stuffing and foam replacement for pieces that have lost their support. Commercial clients often bring in restaurant booth seating, hotel chairs, and office furniture for professional-grade fabric application that can withstand heavy use. Frame tightening and spring repair are common add-ons that help extend the life of the furniture significantly. Fabric choices range from budget-friendly durables to premium designer textiles.

D & M Distributors operates out of Portland and takes on projects throughout Cumberland County. South Portland, Cape Elizabeth, Scarborough, and Falmouth are all within their regular service reach. Commercial clients from Portland's Old Port and restaurant row frequently work with the shop for booth and seating refurbishment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can D & M Distributors handle commercial restaurant booth reupholstery?
Commercial upholstery is a common service for Portland shops that work with the city's active restaurant and hospitality industry. Restaurant booths require high-durability, easy-clean fabrics like vinyl or contract-grade textiles that meet commercial standards. If you manage multiple locations, it's worth discussing whether they can match fabric across all your seating for a consistent look.
How do I choose the right fabric for my reupholstered sofa?
The right fabric depends on how you use the piece. Households with kids or pets do well with tightly woven performance fabrics that resist staining and abrasion. For a formal living room that doesn't see daily wear, you have more freedom to choose decorative textiles like velvet or linen blends. The shop can walk you through swatches and recommend based on your lifestyle.
Is it possible to change the style of my furniture during reupholstery?
Reupholstery is a great opportunity to update the look of a piece, not just restore it. You can change the cushion fill from feather to foam, add or remove tufting, change leg finishes, or add decorative nail-head trim during the process. Discuss the changes you want upfront so the shop can quote accurately.
What's the difference between reupholstering and buying new furniture?
Quality older furniture often has solid wood frames, eight-way hand-tied springs, and construction standards you simply can't find in most new furniture at the same price point. Reupholstering keeps that quality frame while giving you a completely updated look and feel. If the piece has sentimental value or was expensive to begin with, restoration almost always wins.
How do I get a quote for reupholstery work?
The best first step is calling the shop with a description of the piece, including its type, approximate size, and current condition. Many shops can give you a ballpark estimate over the phone and a firm quote once they see the furniture in person. Photos sent ahead of your visit can also help them prepare.
Can you reupholster a headboard or bed frame?
Upholstered headboards are a popular project for reupholstery shops, whether you're refreshing an existing padded headboard or converting a plain wooden frame. The process involves adding batting or foam and wrapping it in your chosen fabric with clean, tailored edges. It's usually a quicker turnaround than sofa work and can dramatically change the feel of a bedroom.
