Frequently Asked Questions

Is it worth reupholstering furniture instead of buying new?
It depends on the quality of the piece. Solid wood frames with good bones are almost always worth reupholstering, especially if the furniture has sentimental value or was expensive to begin with. Cheap particleboard furniture usually isn't worth the investment.
How long does furniture reupholstery take in Ashland City?
Most jobs take one to three weeks, depending on the complexity of the piece and how busy the shop is. A simple dining chair might be done in a few days, while a full sofa with detailed work takes longer. It's best to ask for a timeline estimate when you drop off the piece.
Can I bring my own fabric?
Many upholsterers will work with customer-supplied fabric, but you should confirm this ahead of time. You'll need to make sure you have enough yardage, and the shop may not warranty the fabric itself if you provide it.
How do I know if my furniture frame is still good?
An experienced upholsterer can assess the frame when you bring the piece in. They'll check for cracks, loose joints, and structural issues that would make reupholstery a poor investment. Most good frames can be repaired even if they have some wear.
What fabric types work best for households with pets?
Tightly woven fabrics like canvas, microfiber, and some synthetic blends hold up better against claws and are easier to clean. Your upholsterer can point you toward specific options that are durable without sacrificing appearance.
Do upholstery shops in this area handle antique furniture?
Yes, many local upholsterers have experience with antique pieces and understand the importance of preserving original details where possible. It's worth mentioning upfront that a piece is an antique so the shop can approach the work accordingly.
