Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my furniture frame is worth reupholstering?
A solid hardwood frame with good joinery is usually worth the investment. Particle board frames or pieces where the legs are wobbly and the joints are failing are harder to justify unless the piece has sentimental value. An upholsterer can tell you quickly once they look at it in person.
Can you replace just the cushions instead of doing a full reupholstery job?
Yes, cushion replacement or re-stuffing is a common and less expensive option when the outer fabric is still in good shape. Foam degrades over time and replacing it can bring a sagging sofa back to a comfortable, supportive feel.
What should I expect to pay for sofa reupholstery in Indianapolis?
Pricing varies based on the size of the piece, the fabric selected, and the amount of labor involved, but sofa reupholstery in the Indianapolis area generally runs anywhere from $600 to $2,000 or more. Getting an in-person quote is the most reliable way to get an accurate number.
Do I need to bring my own fabric or do you supply it?
Most upholstery shops carry their own fabric inventory and can order from multiple suppliers, but many will also work with customer-supplied fabric if you've found something specific. Just check ahead of time, since some shops charge differently when working with outside materials.
How do I prepare my furniture for drop-off at the shop?
Remove any personal items, cushions, and throw pillows from the piece before bringing it in. If there are legs that detach easily, taking them off can make transport easier. Beyond that, the shop handles the rest of the disassembly as part of the job.
Can antique chairs with intricate carving or curved backs be reupholstered?
Skilled upholsterers work with carved and curved frames regularly, though these pieces typically take more time and cost more than a standard dining chair. The key is finding a shop experienced with traditional techniques like hand-tied springs and tack-strip finishing, which older furniture often requires.
