Services

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Dream City provides furniture reupholstery for a range of residential pieces including sofas, chairs, loveseats, ottomans, and accent furniture. The work involves removing old upholstery, refreshing or replacing the foam and padding underneath, and applying new fabric chosen by the customer. Good upholstery work also evaluates the condition of the piece's internal support, including springs and webbing, before the new covering goes on. The result should be a piece that not only looks better but sits better too.

Service Area

Dream City serves Pittsburgh and the surrounding Allegheny County area. Customers from Pittsburgh's East End, including Shadyside, Point Breeze, and Squirrel Hill, as well as those from closer-in suburbs, rely on the shop for furniture reupholstery work that's close to home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Dream City reupholster a sectional sofa?
Sectionals are larger and more time-intensive than a standard sofa, but they're absolutely something upholstery shops handle. The cost scales with the number of pieces and the fabric you choose, so getting a quote in person or with good photos is the right first step.
What fabric types are most popular for furniture reupholstery in Pittsburgh?
Performance fabrics, velvet, and leather or faux leather are all popular choices for Pittsburgh homeowners. Performance fabrics are especially practical for high-traffic rooms since they resist stains and wear without sacrificing how they look.
Is it possible to reupholster just the cushions and not the whole sofa?
Yes, cushion-only reupholstery is an option, and it can be a cost-effective way to refresh a sofa that's otherwise in good shape. Keep in mind that new cushion fabric may not perfectly match the rest of the sofa, so this works best when the existing fabric is still in decent condition.
Do I need an appointment to visit a Pittsburgh upholstery shop?
Calling ahead is always a good idea, even for a quick consultation. Some shops are run by a small team and may not have someone available to talk through a project if you just walk in.
How do I care for newly reupholstered furniture?
Care depends on the fabric type, but most upholstered furniture benefits from regular vacuuming, prompt spot cleaning of spills, and keeping it out of direct sunlight where possible. Your shop should be able to give you specific care instructions for whatever fabric was used.
Can reupholstery help with a piece that smells musty or old?
Replacing the foam, padding, and fabric removes most of the materials that hold onto old odors. If the smell is in the wood frame itself, that's trickier to eliminate, but it's worth mentioning when you bring the piece in so the shop can advise you.
