Services

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery is the core offering here, covering sofas, chairs, loveseats, ottomans, and dining chairs. The process typically involves stripping old fabric down to the frame, replacing worn padding or springs as needed, and applying new fabric or material to spec. Customers can usually choose from a wide selection of fabrics, from durable microfibers to designer textiles. Structural repairs to frames and cushion replacement are often handled as part of the same job, saving a separate trip.

Service Area

George & Son's Upholstery serves customers throughout Chicago and the surrounding neighborhoods. Whether you're on the North Side, the South Side, or anywhere in between, local reupholstery service means you're not shipping furniture across the country to get quality work done.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does furniture reupholstery take at George & Son's?
Most standard jobs like a sofa or set of dining chairs take one to three weeks. Larger or more complex projects may take longer, especially if specialty fabric needs to be ordered.
Is it worth reupholstering an old sofa instead of buying a new one?
It often is, especially if the frame is solid wood and structurally sound. New sofas in a similar quality range can cost two to four times what reupholstery runs, and you get to keep a piece you already love.
Can I bring my own fabric to the shop?
Many upholstery shops will work with customer-supplied fabric. You'll want to confirm yardage requirements before purchasing, since running short mid-project is a real problem.
Do they do cushion replacement only, or do I need full reupholstery?
Cushion replacement alone is a common request, and many shops handle it separately from full reupholstery. If the outer fabric is still in good shape but the cushion has gone flat, you don't need to do the whole job.
How do I know if my furniture frame is worth saving?
A good reupholstery shop will inspect the frame before quoting. Solid hardwood frames with tight joints are almost always worth restoring. Particleboard or heavily cracked frames may not be.
What fabrics work best for homes with kids or pets?
Performance fabrics like Crypton, outdoor-grade textiles, and tight-weave microfibers hold up well to heavy use and are easier to clean. The shop can point you toward options that balance durability and appearance.
