Services & Process

Ecujimo Upholstery specializes in furniture reupholstery, which means taking apart a piece down to its frame, replacing padding and support materials as needed, and applying new fabric with clean seams and proper tension. This applies to sofas, sectionals, dining chairs, ottomans, headboards, and accent chairs. Cushion replacement is typically part of this process, with options for different foam densities depending on how firm or soft you want the finished piece. Fabric selection is a key part of the service, and clients usually get to choose from a range of materials suited to their lifestyle and design preferences.

Clients from Newton, Chestnut Hill, and the Longwood area frequently use this shop given its convenient Brookline location. Pickup and delivery options make it accessible for customers who can't easily transport large furniture.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it typically cost to reupholster a sofa in Brookline?
Costs vary widely based on the size of the piece, the fabric chosen, and how much structural work the frame needs. A standard two or three-cushion sofa generally runs anywhere from $800 to $2,000 or more depending on those factors.
Can I bring in a fabric I already purchased for the project?
Many upholstery shops will work with customer-supplied fabric, though you'll want to confirm the yardage requirements beforehand. The shop can usually tell you exactly how much you need once they've assessed the piece.
How do I know what foam density to choose for my cushions?
The upholsterer will typically ask how you use the piece and what feel you prefer, then recommend a foam density that matches. Higher density foams are more durable and supportive, while softer foams feel more plush but wear faster.
Can antique or heirloom furniture be reupholstered without damaging it?
Yes, experienced upholsterers know how to work with older frames carefully, preserving original joinery and details. It's worth mentioning any known fragility or history of repairs so the shop can take appropriate care.
Do you offer fabric samples before committing to a material?
Most upholstery shops can provide swatches so you can see and feel the fabric in your own space before making a decision. This step is worth taking since lighting and existing decor can change how a fabric looks.
What's the difference between reupholstering and slipcovers?
Reupholstering involves completely removing the old fabric and replacing it with new material stapled or sewn to the frame, creating a permanent and fitted finish. Slipcovers are removable covers that fit over the existing upholstery, which is less durable but easier to swap out.
