Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get an estimate for reupholstery in Washington DC?
You can call the shop directly or bring your piece in for an in-person assessment. Estimates are usually more accurate once the team can see the furniture, since hidden damage or complex construction can affect the final price.
Can Furniture Medic repair a sofa that has broken springs or a cracked frame?
Yes, structural repairs are typically part of the reupholstery process. It doesn't make sense to put new fabric on a piece with underlying problems, so most shops address frame and spring issues before finishing the job.
How much does it usually cost to reupholster a sofa in DC?
Sofa reupholstery in the DC area generally runs from around $500 to over $2,000 depending on the size, fabric choice, and any needed repairs. Getting a direct quote is the best way to know what your specific piece will cost.
Is it possible to change the style of a piece when reupholstering, like adding tufting or changing the cushion style?
Many upholstery shops can modify the style as part of the project. Adding tufting, changing cushion fill, or updating the trim are all common requests that skilled upholsterers handle regularly.
How long will reupholstered furniture typically last?
A well-done reupholstery job on a quality frame can last 10 to 20 years or more with normal use. Fabric choice matters too since durable upholstery-grade materials hold up much better than decorator fabric under daily wear.
Do upholstery shops in DC offer pickup and delivery for large furniture?
Many do, though it's worth confirming when you call. Pickup and delivery is especially useful for large sofas or pieces that are difficult to transport in a standard vehicle.
