About Farquharson Upholstery

Farquharson Upholstery is based in Hyde Park, the Lamoille County seat tucked in a valley in north-central Vermont. With a perfect 5-star rating, this shop has made at least one customer very happy, and in a small community like Hyde Park, word-of-mouth reputation carries a lot of weight. The shop focuses on furniture reupholstery, which is exactly the kind of service rural Vermont homeowners need when they want to restore rather than replace quality pieces. Hyde Park is about 35 miles from Burlington and serves a community that values local, skilled tradespeople.

Services

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery is the main offering, covering everything from accent chairs and sofas to ottomans, benches, and upholstered beds. The process involves carefully removing old fabric, inspecting and repairing the frame and cushion supports underneath, then applying new materials to a clean, refreshed foundation. Fabric choices typically span a broad range from durable everyday options to more refined materials suited for formal or antique pieces. For Vermont homeowners with heirloom furniture, this kind of careful, skilled work can extend the life of a piece by decades.

Service Area

Farquharson Upholstery serves Hyde Park and the surrounding Lamoille County area, including towns like Morrisville, Johnson, Wolcott, and Stowe. Customers from nearby Washington County and Orleans County also make the drive when they want skilled local work. The shop's central location in Lamoille County makes it reasonably accessible from multiple directions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Farquharson Upholstery have a five-star rating?
Even with a small number of reviews, a perfect rating in a close-knit community like Hyde Park speaks to the quality of the work. Small shops rely heavily on local reputation, which means they have strong motivation to get every job right.
How do I know if my furniture is worth reupholstering?
The key factor is the frame. If the wood frame is solid and the piece is well-constructed, reupholstery almost always makes sense financially and environmentally. Bring it in or send photos and the shop can give you an honest assessment.
Can I reupholster furniture I bought secondhand?
Absolutely. Secondhand pieces are some of the best candidates for reupholstery because older furniture often has sturdier frames than what's manufactured today. A thrift store find with solid bones can become a standout piece with the right fabric.
What happens to the old foam and padding during reupholstery?
Old foam is typically removed and replaced with new material because it loses its shape and support over time. Your upholsterer can choose the right foam density for your piece based on how it's used and what level of firmness you prefer.
Does the shop serve customers outside of Hyde Park?
Yes, Farquharson Upholstery serves Lamoille County and surrounding areas, including Morrisville and Stowe. It's worth calling ahead at (802) 888-1289 to confirm they can take your project and discuss logistics.
How do I prepare my furniture before dropping it off?
Remove any personal items from cushions or drawers, and clean off surface debris. You don't need to do any disassembly since the shop handles that. Just get it there safely and the upholsterer takes it from there.
