Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of furniture damage can actually be repaired?
Most structural damage can be repaired, including broken frames, loose or missing legs, cracked wood joints, and broken recliner mechanisms. Surface damage like tears, burns, or worn fabric can also be addressed, either through targeted repair or spot reupholstery of just the affected section.
Is it cheaper to repair furniture or buy something new?
For quality pieces, repair almost always costs less than replacement, and the repaired piece often lasts longer than an equivalent new item at a similar price point. The calculation changes if the frame is severely damaged or the piece has no sentimental or functional value worth preserving.
Can you fix a sagging sofa cushion without replacing the whole sofa?
Yes. Sagging cushions are one of the most common repairs and can often be fixed by replacing the foam core, adding a seat support board, or re-tying the spring system underneath. It's much less expensive than buying a new sofa and the result feels like new.
Do you repair recliners and mechanical furniture?
Many furniture repair shops handle recliner mechanisms, broken handles, and other mechanical components in addition to fabric and structural work. It's worth calling ahead to confirm that the specific mechanism on your piece is something they work with.
How long does a typical furniture repair take in Ellicott City?
Simple repairs like re-gluing joints or replacing a leg can often be done same-day or within a couple of days. More involved work like replacing internal springs or repairing a broken frame takes longer, typically one to two weeks depending on the parts needed.
Can scratches and gouges in wood furniture be repaired alongside upholstery work?
Some shops handle both upholstery and wood refinishing, while others specialize in one or the other. It's always worth asking since combining both types of repair in one visit saves you time and often reduces the overall cost.
