Frequently Asked Questions

Can you reupholster a sectional sofa?
Yes, sectionals can be reupholstered, though they're one of the more labor-intensive jobs because each piece is handled separately. The cost is typically higher than a standard sofa, but the result is a custom piece that fits your space exactly the way the original did.
My dining chair seats are sagging. Can you just replace the foam without fully reupholstering?
Sometimes, if the fabric is still in good condition, you can replace the foam insert without replacing the fabric. A quick look at the chair is usually enough to determine whether the fabric has enough life left to justify a partial repair.
How do I know if my furniture is worth reupholstering versus replacing it?
A good rule of thumb is to compare the reupholstery cost to about one third of the price of a comparable new piece. If reupholstery costs less than that, and the frame is solid, it's almost always the better choice. For sentimental pieces, that math matters less.
Do you work with commercial clients like apartment buildings or offices?
Many upholstery shops in Boston, including those in Roxbury, take on commercial work for property managers, hotels, and offices. Commercial jobs often involve multiple identical pieces and can sometimes be batched for better pricing.
What kinds of fabric hold up best for frequently used living room furniture?
Tightly woven fabrics with a rub count above 25,000 double rubs are a good baseline for heavy-use pieces. Leather and faux leather are also popular for Boston living rooms because they're easy to wipe clean, though they can feel cold in winter without proper treatment.
Can you reupholster a piece with an unusual or custom shape?
Experienced upholsterers work with irregular shapes regularly, from barrel chairs to curved settees. Custom shapes take more time because the fabric has to be cut and fitted by hand rather than using standard templates, which is reflected in the price.
