Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery is the core offering here, which means stripping down your existing piece to its frame, inspecting and repairing the structure, replacing worn padding, and applying new fabric or leather. This process can transform a sagging armchair or dated sectional into something that looks and feels brand new. Fabric selection is a key part of the job, with options ranging from durable performance fabrics suited for families with kids or pets to high-end decorative textiles for formal living spaces. Cushion replacement, webbing repair, and spring retying are often handled as part of a full reupholstery job.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it worth reupholstering an old sofa in Kansas City, or should I just buy new?
It depends on the quality of the frame. Solid hardwood frames from older sofas are often far more durable than what you'd find in a new piece at a big box store. If the structure is sound, reupholstering typically costs less than replacing with comparable quality and lets you keep a piece you actually like.
How do I choose the right fabric for high-traffic furniture?
Look for fabrics with a high double-rub count, which measures how many times a fabric can be rubbed before it shows wear. Performance fabrics like Crypton or solution-dyed acrylics are popular choices in Kansas City homes with kids or pets because they resist stains and hold up to daily use.
Can a reupholstery shop fix broken chair frames or just the fabric?
Most shops handle basic frame repairs as part of the reupholstery process, including tightening joints, regluing loose sections, or replacing a broken leg. If the damage is more significant, they'll usually let you know before starting the fabric work so there are no surprises on the final bill.
How long does a standard furniture reupholstery job take?
A single chair might be done in three to five business days, while a full sofa or sectional can take one to three weeks depending on the shop's current workload and the complexity of the project. Custom fabric orders can sometimes add a week or two if the material needs to be sourced.
Do I need to bring my furniture in, or will the shop pick it up?
Policies vary by shop. Some offer pickup and delivery for large pieces like sofas and sectionals, while others require you to bring items in. It's worth asking about this upfront, especially for heavy or awkward pieces, since some shops charge a small fee for in-home service.
Can antique furniture be reupholstered without losing its value?
Yes, and in many cases it increases the piece's usability while preserving its structural integrity. A skilled upholsterer will document the original construction, use period-appropriate techniques when possible, and recommend fabrics that complement the piece's age and style. Communicating clearly about your goals for the piece from the start helps a lot.
