Services

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery at a Petaluma-based shop covers the full process of refreshing upholstered pieces, from dining chairs and accent pieces to full sofas and sectionals. The work includes removing old material, evaluating and replacing foam and padding as needed, and applying new fabric or leather in a tight, professionally finished result. Customers typically choose from a curated selection of fabrics that range from natural fibers suited to wine country aesthetics to durable options that handle everyday family use. Smaller projects like bench seats and ottomans are often quick turnarounds.

Service Area

Em Upholstery serves Petaluma and the surrounding Sonoma County communities, including Novato, Cotati, and Rohnert Park. Customers from the broader North Bay area, including parts of Marin County, also make the trip for quality local work. The shop is a convenient option for anyone in the 101 corridor between San Rafael and Santa Rosa.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work on smaller items like dining chairs and ottomans?
Yes, smaller upholstery projects are a regular part of the work at most shops, and they're often faster to complete than full sofas or sectionals. Dining chairs in particular are a popular item since a full set of six or eight can be transformed at a reasonable cost.
Can I bring my own fabric?
Many upholstery shops will work with customer-supplied fabric, though it's worth confirming ahead of time. If you're sourcing your own material, make sure you have enough yardage since the shop will guide you on how much is needed based on the piece.
How do I know if my furniture is worth reupholstering?
Solid wood frames and well-built construction are the main signs a piece is worth restoring. If the frame is flimsy or the piece was inexpensive to begin with, the cost of reupholstery might not make practical sense.
What fabrics hold up best in a home with pets?
Performance fabrics with high abrasion ratings, tightly woven textiles like canvas or microfiber, and leather are generally the best choices for pet-friendly households. The shop can point you toward options that resist claws and are easy to clean.
Is there a minimum project size you'll take on?
Most shops are happy to work on single chairs or even bench cushions, so there's generally no job too small. Calling ahead with a description of your piece helps you get a quick sense of whether it's a good fit.
How far in advance should I book upholstery work in Petaluma?
Popular shops in the North Bay often book out two to four weeks, especially during spring when people are refreshing their homes. It's worth calling early if you have a specific deadline in mind.
