About Dimitrie Upholstering

Dimitrie Upholstering is based in Royal Oak, Michigan, one of metro Detroit's most active communities for home renovation and interior design. The shop handles both furniture reupholstery and refinishing services, making it a practical one-stop option for pieces that need work beyond just new fabric. Royal Oak's mix of older bungalows and mid-century homes means there's no shortage of well-built older furniture worth restoring. Interior designers and homeowners in the area appreciate having a shop that can address both the surface and structural aspects of a piece.

Services

Furniture Reupholstery
Refinishing Services

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery covers sofas, chairs, ottomans, headboards, and more, with the shop handling fabric removal, frame inspection, padding replacement, and new material installation. Refinishing services add a layer of capability that many upholstery-only shops don't offer, including stripping old finish, repairing wood surfaces, staining, and applying a fresh protective coat. Together, these services mean a worn-out dining chair or antique settee can come back looking entirely restored. Customers can address fabric wear and wood damage in one trip rather than visiting two separate specialists.

Service Area

Dimitrie Upholstering serves Royal Oak and the surrounding southeast Oakland County communities. Customers from Ferndale, Berkley, Huntington Woods, and Pleasant Ridge regularly make the short trip for quality furniture restoration work. The shop is also convenient for residents throughout the northern Detroit metro corridor.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a furniture refinishing service actually include?
Refinishing typically involves stripping the old stain or paint, sanding the wood surface smooth, repairing any nicks or gouges, and then applying a fresh stain and protective topcoat. The result is a wood surface that looks clean and even, matching or improving the original finish.
Can I get both reupholstery and refinishing done on the same piece at once?
Yes, and it's actually the most efficient approach since both services are handled together rather than in separate trips. The finished piece will also look more unified when the wood and fabric are chosen and applied as a coordinated set.
How much does furniture reupholstery typically cost in Royal Oak?
Pricing depends heavily on the size of the piece, the complexity of the design, and the fabric you choose. A dining chair might cost a few hundred dollars, while a large sectional sofa could run into the thousands.
Is it possible to change the style of a piece during reupholstery?
Absolutely. Many customers use reupholstery as an opportunity to update a piece from a dated look to something more current. A skilled shop can suggest fabric patterns, textures, and colors that shift the entire feel of the furniture.
Do you work with antique furniture in Royal Oak?
Upholstery shops that also offer refinishing are well suited for antique work, since older pieces often need attention to both the wood and the fabric. It's worth discussing the piece's history and any special considerations before the work begins.
How do I prepare my furniture for drop-off at the shop?
Remove any cushions or detachable parts and clean off loose debris before bringing the piece in. If there are any broken components or specific concerns, make note of them so you can point them out during the initial assessment.
