Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

DJ's Upholstery handles furniture reupholstery across a range of piece types, from dining chairs and ottomans to full sofas and sectionals. The work typically starts with a fabric consultation, where you'll choose from available materials or bring your own. Old fabric and padding are removed, the frame is checked for damage, and new materials are applied with care for pattern alignment and clean seams. The goal is a finish that looks factory-made rather than obviously repaired.

Service Area

DJ's Upholstery serves the Minneapolis metro area, including neighborhoods across the city and nearby communities in Hennepin County. Customers from both the north and south sides of the city bring work here regularly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my sofa frame is still good enough to reupholster?
A solid frame shouldn't wobble, creak excessively, or have visible cracks in the wood. If the structure feels sturdy when you sit on it, the frame is likely worth investing in new fabric and cushioning.
What kinds of fabric are available for reupholstery in Minneapolis?
Minneapolis upholstery shops typically carry or can source a wide range of materials including woven fabrics, velvets, leathers, and performance textiles. If you have a specific fabric in mind, bring a sample or photo to your consultation.
Can DJ's Upholstery work on outdoor furniture cushions?
Many upholstery shops handle outdoor cushion replacement using weather-resistant fabrics like Sunbrella. It's worth calling ahead to confirm they stock or can order outdoor-grade materials for your project.
How much fabric do I need if I'm supplying my own material?
Yardage depends on the size and complexity of the piece. A single dining chair might need 1 to 2 yards, while a full sofa can require 12 to 18 yards or more. The shop can give you a precise number once they see the piece.
Is reupholstery a good option for office chairs or commercial seating?
Yes, especially for high-quality task chairs or lobby seating where the underlying mechanism is still functional. Commercial customers often reupholster in bulk to refresh a space without replacing everything.
What's the difference between foam replacement and full reupholstery?
Foam replacement involves swapping out the interior cushioning without changing the outer fabric. Full reupholstery replaces both the fabric and typically the padding, giving the piece a completely refreshed look and feel.
