Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery is the core of what this shop does, which means they strip down worn or damaged pieces, inspect the frame and springs, and rebuild the piece from the inside out before applying new fabric. This isn't just slapping new material over old padding. Good reupholstery work involves replacing or adding foam, re-tying coil springs when needed, and carefully fitting fabric so seams land in the right places. Customers typically bring in sofas, armchairs, dining chairs, and occasional pieces that have sentimental value or frames worth saving.

Service Area

Gaines Upholstery & Trim Shop is located in Jackson, MS, and serves customers throughout the greater Jackson metro area. Surrounding communities like Ridgeland, Clinton, and Brandon are close enough that many residents make the trip for quality upholstery work. If you're in Hinds County or Rankin County, this is a convenient local option.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my furniture is worth reupholstering instead of replacing?
The frame is what you're really paying for when you reupholster. If the wood frame is solid, the joints are tight, and the piece has good bones, reupholstery almost always makes more financial sense than buying new, especially for hardwood frames. A quick inspection at the shop can tell you a lot before you commit to anything.
Can I bring my own fabric to the shop?
Many upholstery shops accept customer-supplied fabric, but you'll want to confirm this upfront and make sure you have enough yardage. Fabric requirements vary quite a bit depending on the piece, the pattern repeat, and whether cushions are included. Ask the shop for a yardage estimate before you purchase anything.
How long does a typical sofa reupholstery job take in Jackson?
Most sofa jobs take anywhere from one to three weeks once materials arrive, though that can stretch during busy periods. Fabric ordering adds time if the shop doesn't carry your chosen material in stock. It's worth asking about current lead times when you get your estimate.
What types of fabric work best for furniture in Mississippi's humid climate?
Performance fabrics and tightly woven materials tend to hold up better in humid Southern climates because they resist moisture and are less prone to mildew over time. Solution-dyed acrylics and performance weaves are popular choices for pieces that get heavy use. Your upholsterer can point you toward options that balance durability with the look you want.
Do upholstery shops in Jackson offer pickup and delivery?
Some shops offer pickup and delivery for an additional fee, particularly for larger pieces like sofas or sectionals that are hard to transport. It's best to ask when you call for a quote, since this varies by shop and depends on how far you're located from Jackson. For smaller pieces like dining chairs, most customers drop off and pick up themselves.
Will reupholstered furniture look like new when it's done?
A well-executed reupholstery job should look clean, professional, and tight, though the frame's age may still show in small details like leg wear or minor wood imperfections. If you want the frame refinished or repaired, ask about that service separately. The upholstery itself, including fabric, padding, and seams, should look and feel completely fresh.
