Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my furniture is worth reupholstering instead of replacing?
If the frame is solid hardwood and the piece has good structural bones, reupholstering almost always makes more financial and environmental sense than buying new. A quality sofa or armchair that's been reupholstered can last another 10 to 20 years with proper care.
Can I supply my own fabric for the project?
Yes, most shops will work with customer-supplied fabric as long as it's appropriate for upholstery use. Make sure the material is durable enough for the piece, since decorator fabrics meant for curtains or pillows often don't hold up well under regular use.
How long does a standard reupholstery job take?
A single chair typically takes three to five business days, while larger pieces like sofas or sectionals can take one to two weeks. Turnaround times vary depending on how busy the shop is and whether specialty fabric needs to be ordered.
Do I need an appointment to bring furniture in for an estimate?
It's always a good idea to call ahead so the shop can set aside time to properly assess your piece. Walk-ins are sometimes possible, but calling first at (205) 590-0616 ensures you won't have to wait.
Will the new upholstery look and feel different from the original?
That depends entirely on the fabric you choose. If you want to replicate the original look, shops can often find close matches in texture and pattern. If you want something fresh, there are hundreds of fabric options in different weights, colors, and textures.
What happens if the padding or springs are damaged under the old fabric?
Any damage found underneath the old fabric is typically discussed with you before work proceeds, so you're not surprised by added costs. Replacing foam cushions, re-tying springs, or reinforcing webbing are all common repairs that can be handled as part of the same job.
