About Davidson's Upholstery

Davidson's Upholstery serves Charlotte, North Carolina, a city where older homes in neighborhoods like Dilworth and Myers Park are packed with furniture worth saving. Reupholstering a beloved sofa or armchair costs a fraction of replacing it with new furniture, and local shops understand the styles and fabrics that hold up in the Carolinas' humid climate. Charlotte homeowners and interior designers alike rely on skilled upholsterers to bring tired pieces back to life. If you've got a chair that's structurally sound but cosmetically worn, this is the kind of shop worth calling.

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery is the core service here, which means stripping a piece down to its frame, inspecting and repairing the springs and webbing, replacing foam or batting, and recovering it in your chosen fabric. Clients typically bring in sofas, armchairs, dining room chairs, ottomans, and headboards. Fabric selection is a big part of the process, with options ranging from durable performance fabrics to classic linens and velvets. The work is done by hand, so the results are tailored to each specific piece rather than mass-produced.

Service Area

Davidson's Upholstery is based in Charlotte and serves customers throughout Mecklenburg County. Clients from nearby communities like Pineville, Matthews, and Mint Hill regularly make the trip for quality upholstery work. It's a reasonable drive from anywhere in the greater Charlotte metro area.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to reupholster a sofa in Charlotte?
Sofa reupholstery in the Charlotte area typically runs between $800 and $2,500 depending on size, fabric choice, and the condition of the frame and springs. A larger sectional or a piece needing significant structural repairs will be on the higher end. Getting an in-person quote is the best way to get an accurate number for your specific piece.
Is it worth reupholstering old furniture instead of buying new?
If the frame is solid hardwood and the piece has sentimental or antique value, reupholstering almost always makes financial and practical sense. Quality new furniture often costs more than a professional reupholstery job, and you end up with something far sturdier. Pieces with particleboard frames or badly damaged springs may not be worth the investment.
Can I supply my own fabric?
Most upholstery shops in Charlotte will work with customer-supplied fabric, though you'll want to confirm this beforehand. Make sure you have enough yardage, as the shop will tell you exactly how much is needed based on your piece's dimensions and the fabric's pattern repeat. Using shop-supplied fabric often comes with the advantage of professional guidance on durability and fit.
How long does furniture reupholstery take?
A standard chair or ottoman can often be completed in one to two weeks, while sofas and sectionals typically take two to four weeks. Turnaround times depend on how busy the shop is and whether any repairs to the frame or springs are needed. It's a good idea to ask for an estimated timeline when you drop off the piece.
Do upholstery shops in Charlotte offer pickup and delivery?
Some shops offer pickup and delivery for an additional fee, while others require you to bring the furniture in yourself. It's worth asking when you call, especially for large or heavy pieces. Having a truck or SUV available for transport makes the process much simpler if the shop doesn't offer that service.
What types of fabric work best for high-traffic furniture?
Performance fabrics made from polyester or polypropylene blends are popular for households with kids or pets because they resist staining and wear well over time. Crypton and Sunbrella are two brand names you'll hear often in Charlotte shops. Natural fibers like linen look beautiful but may require more maintenance in busy living spaces.
