Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery at this shop covers full fabric replacement on sofas, chairs, and accent pieces, including foam and batting replacement when the padding has worn down. Furniture repair addresses structural issues like broken frames, loose joints, and damaged legs, restoring function before or alongside cosmetic work. Assembly services cover flat-pack and ready-to-assemble furniture from retailers like IKEA and others, which can be a real time-saver for busy homeowners. The combination of these three services means a piece can go from damaged and disassembled to fully finished in a single shop visit.

Service Area

Furniture & Repairs serves customers across San Diego, from neighborhoods like North Park and Kensington to communities further out like Lemon Grove and Spring Valley. The shop's broad service range attracts clients from across the county who want reupholstery, repair, and assembly handled in one place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you repair a broken sofa frame and reupholster it at the same time?
Yes, and this is actually the ideal approach. Fixing the frame first ensures the new upholstery isn't stressed or pulled by an unstable structure, which would shorten its lifespan. Doing both together also saves you a second round of scheduling and transport.
Do you assemble furniture from any brand, or just IKEA?
Most furniture assembly services handle pieces from any retailer, including IKEA, Wayfair, West Elm, and others. As long as the piece comes with instructions and all parts are present, an experienced assembler can usually put it together quickly and correctly.
What's involved in a furniture repair versus a full reupholstery?
Repair typically targets a specific structural or cosmetic issue, like a broken leg, a loose joint, or a torn seam, without replacing all the fabric. Reupholstery is a full teardown and re-cover, replacing all the fabric and often the padding too. Sometimes a repair is all you need, and a good shop will tell you honestly which applies to your piece.
How do I know if my furniture is worth repairing or reupholstering?
The key question is whether the frame is structurally sound and whether the piece has quality bones worth saving. Solid hardwood frames, tight joinery, and good proportions usually make a piece worth the investment. A shop can assess this quickly during an in-person or photo consultation.
How long does a furniture repair usually take?
Minor repairs like re-gluing joints or fixing a broken leg can often be done within a few days. More involved structural work, especially if combined with reupholstery, will take longer since the repair needs to cure or dry before fabric work can begin.
Can you help me pick a fabric that works for kids and pets?
Absolutely, and it's one of the most common requests shops get. Performance fabrics, tightly woven synthetics, and certain microfibers hold up well against claws, spills, and heavy use. A good upholsterer will show you samples and explain the durability trade-offs for each option before you commit.
