Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery at a shop like Dee's covers everything from the initial teardown to the final stitch, including assessing and replacing foam inserts that have lost their shape over time. Spring systems in older sofas and chairs are inspected and repaired as needed so the underlying structure is as sound as the new exterior. Fabric selection is a hands-on part of the process where customers choose from swatches of different materials, weights, and textures. Whether you're recovering a wingback chair, a sectional, or a set of dining room seats, the work is done to fit the original lines of the piece.

Service Area

Dee's Upholstery is based in Trenton and serves customers throughout the southern Wayne County Downriver communities, including Woodhaven, Brownstown Township, Flat Rock, and Gibraltar. The central Trenton location makes it easy to reach for residents across a wide stretch of the region.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you reupholster a recliner, or is that too complicated?
Recliners can absolutely be reupholstered, though they're more labor-intensive than standard chairs because of the mechanical components that need to be worked around. An experienced upholsterer knows how to disassemble and reassemble the mechanism without affecting how it functions.
What types of fabric work best for a sunny room with a lot of natural light?
Solution-dyed fabrics and high-quality synthetic blends resist fading better than natural fibers in bright, sun-exposed rooms. Your upholsterer can point out which fabric lines are rated for higher light exposure so you're not disappointed a year down the road.
How much does it typically cost to reupholster a chair?
A basic accent chair might run a few hundred dollars in labor and materials, while a larger, more detailed piece like a wingback or a club chair can run higher depending on the fabric chosen. Getting an in-person estimate is the most reliable way to know what your specific piece will cost.
Do you do pickup and delivery for large furniture pieces?
Some local shops offer pickup and delivery for an additional fee, especially for large or heavy items that are difficult to transport. It's worth asking when you call, since the availability of that service varies by shop.
Can a damaged wood frame be fixed before reupholstering?
Yes, addressing frame damage before recovering the piece is standard practice and important for the longevity of the finished work. Loose joints, cracked rails, or broken legs are typically repaired as part of the overall project.
Is leather harder to work with than fabric?
Leather requires different tools and techniques than woven fabrics, and mistakes are harder to hide since it doesn't stretch and forgive the way some textiles do. Shops with experience in leather work can handle it well, and the results tend to be very durable.
