Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I choose a dedicated upholstery shop over a general furniture store?
Specialists like Encore do reupholstery work daily, which builds a level of skill and attention to detail that generalist shops often can't match. You're also more likely to get honest advice about whether a piece is worth restoring rather than being pushed toward a sale.
Can Encore Upholstering restore antique furniture without damaging its value?
A skilled upholsterer can recover antique pieces using period-appropriate techniques and materials that preserve their character. It's worth discussing the piece's history during your consultation so the shop can recommend an approach that respects its original construction.
What happens if my furniture frame is damaged?
Most reupholstery shops inspect the frame before starting fabric work and will flag any issues that need attention. Frame repairs, including regluing joints or reinforcing weak spots, are typically handled as part of the overall project.
How much fabric do I need to reupholster a standard armchair?
A typical armchair requires roughly four to six yards of fabric, though this varies based on the chair's size and whether the fabric has a pattern that needs matching. Your upholsterer will calculate the exact yardage after measuring the piece.
Is Halethorpe convenient to reach from downtown Baltimore?
Yes, Halethorpe is located just a short drive south of Baltimore, accessible via I-95 and I-695. Most Baltimore-area customers find it an easy trip even with a large piece of furniture loaded in a vehicle.
Can my recliner be reupholstered without affecting its mechanical function?
Yes, experienced upholsterers are familiar with the mechanisms inside recliners and work around them carefully during the disassembly and recovering process. The reclining function should work normally once the new upholstery is in place.
