Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery at Finish Pros involves full fabric replacement including frame inspection, cushion rebuilding, and professional stitching in materials ranging from performance fabrics to leather. Furniture repair addresses structural issues like broken joints, damaged frames, and worn hardware, restoring function alongside appearance. Refinishing services cover wood surfaces, including stripping old finishes, repairing scratches and dents, staining, and applying durable topcoats that protect and beautify the piece. Together, these three services mean a single piece with both upholstery wear and wood damage can be fully restored in one place rather than split across multiple shops.

Service Area

Finish Pros serves Raleigh and the broader Triangle region, including Cary, Morrisville, Durham, and Chapel Hill. The shop's central Raleigh location makes it easy to reach from communities throughout Wake County. Customers from surrounding counties also make the trip for specialized refinishing and reupholstery work that's harder to find closer to home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you reupholster and refinish a piece at the same time?
Yes, and doing both together is actually the smartest approach since it avoids any risk of damage to new fabric during wood finishing work. A shop that handles both services can sequence the work properly so the final result looks clean and intentional. It also saves you the hassle of coordinating two separate vendors and two different pickup schedules.
What does furniture refinishing actually involve?
Refinishing starts with stripping the old finish down to bare wood, which may involve sanding, chemical strippers, or both depending on the piece. Any dents, scratches, or structural wood damage are repaired before the new stain and topcoat are applied. The result is a refreshed surface that protects the wood and restores its original character, or updates it to match a new aesthetic.
How do I know if my furniture is worth reupholstering or refinishing?
The key factor is the quality of the underlying piece. Solid wood frames and well-built joints are worth restoring, while particleboard or flimsy construction often isn't. Bring the piece in or send photos for an honest assessment, and a reputable shop will tell you straight if the repair cost doesn't make economic sense.
What kinds of fabric are available for reupholstery in Raleigh?
Good upholstery shops typically carry hundreds of fabric options including performance weaves, velvet, leather, linen blends, and outdoor-rated materials. Performance fabrics are especially popular in households with kids or pets because they resist staining and hold up to heavy use. If you have something specific in mind, shops can often order samples or source specialty fabrics not kept in regular stock.
Does Finish Pros handle antique furniture restoration?
With both refinishing and reupholstery services available, antique restoration is a natural fit. Older pieces often need both the wood surface and the fabric addressed, and doing that well requires care and experience. A shop with a strong rating and solid review volume is a good indicator that they've handled sensitive work like this before.
How do I transport a large sofa or armoire to a shop in Raleigh?
For large or fragile pieces, it's worth asking whether the shop offers pickup services, which some providers arrange for an added fee. Alternatively, renting a cargo van for a day is a relatively affordable option for a one-time transport need. Protect corners and upholstered surfaces with moving blankets during transport to avoid adding new damage on the way to the shop.
