Frequently Asked Questions

Can a reupholstery shop change the style of my furniture, not just the fabric?
Yes, skilled upholsterers can alter details like button tufting, nail head trim, arm height, and cushion style to update the look of a piece beyond just swapping out the fabric. It's worth discussing what changes you want during the estimate so the shop can factor in the extra labor.
How much does it cost to reupholster a sofa in Cleveland?
Pricing varies based on the size of the piece, the complexity of the design, and the fabric chosen, but a standard three-cushion sofa often runs anywhere from several hundred to over a thousand dollars. Getting a written estimate before committing is always the right move.
Do I need to remove the legs from my furniture before bringing it in?
Most shops prefer you leave the piece assembled so they can evaluate it properly. If legs are removable and it makes transport easier, that's usually fine, but ask the shop first so nothing important gets separated or lost.
What's the difference between reupholstering and slipcovers?
Reupholstering replaces the actual fabric that's attached to the frame and padding, giving a permanent and tailored result. Slipcovers are removable covers that fit over the existing upholstery, which is easier and cheaper but doesn't address worn padding or structural issues underneath.
Can antique furniture be reupholstered without damaging its value?
A careful upholsterer can restore antique pieces using period-appropriate techniques and materials that preserve the piece's integrity and collector appeal. It's important to mention the piece's age and history upfront so the shop can approach it accordingly rather than treating it like a standard modern sofa.
How do I prepare my furniture for drop-off at an upholstery shop?
Clear out any items stored in the furniture and remove cushions if they're separate. You don't need to clean or prep the fabric since the shop will handle that as part of the process. Just make sure you can transport the piece safely or arrange for pickup.
