Services & Process

Furniture repair at this type of shop covers structural fixes like broken legs, loose joints, damaged drawer tracks, and cracked frames, all the things that make a good piece unusable. Reupholstery services layer on top of that, allowing customers to address both the structural and cosmetic issues in one visit rather than two. The retail component means you can shop for finished pieces while your project is in progress. Together these three services make it possible to come in with a problem piece, choose a replacement if needed, or leave with something fully transformed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between furniture repair and reupholstery?
Furniture repair deals with the structural side of things, fixing broken frames, loose joints, wobbly legs, and damaged hardware. Reupholstery focuses on the fabric, foam, and padding, stripping the old covering and replacing it with new materials. Some pieces need both, which is why a shop that offers both services can save you time and money.
Can a shop fix furniture that has both structural damage and worn fabric?
Yes, and it's actually the ideal scenario for a full-service shop since they can address everything at once. Tackling the frame first and then reupholstering ensures the finished piece looks great and holds up properly. Doing them separately often costs more and risks damaging fresh upholstery during structural repairs.
Do furniture shops in Lexington sell finished pieces alongside repair services?
Some shops, like those that combine retail with restoration, do carry a curated inventory of finished and restored pieces for sale. It's a great option if you need something immediately or want to see the quality of the shop's work before committing to a custom job. Call ahead to ask what's currently in stock.
How do I know if an old piece is worth repairing or restoring?
The main factors are frame quality, sentimental value, and original craftsmanship. Solid wood frames from older American or European pieces are almost always worth restoring, while particleboard or staple-together frames from budget retailers usually aren't. A good furniture repair shop can give you an honest opinion after looking at the piece.
Can upholstery shops match existing fabric patterns on multi-piece sets?
Matching fabric exactly is possible if the original material is still in production or if a close match exists in current stock. For older or discontinued patterns, an upholsterer can often find a complementary fabric that coordinates well rather than a perfect match. Bringing in a sample of the original fabric helps a lot during this conversation.
What should I look for when choosing a furniture repair shop in Lexington?
Look for shops that show before-and-after photos of their work, offer in-person estimates, and are upfront about timelines and pricing. A shop that takes time to explain your options is usually more trustworthy than one that pushes you toward the most expensive solution. Word of mouth from neighbors or local design communities is also a reliable way to vet a shop.
