About Great Cover Up

Great Cover Up is located in Sparks, Nevada, right alongside the greater Reno metro area and serving a community that's grown steadily over the past two decades. Sparks has a strong working-class and family-oriented character, which means there's consistent demand for affordable, practical furniture reupholstery rather than high-end decorating services. The shop's name suggests a straightforward mission: cover up the worn, faded, or damaged fabric on your furniture and make it look good again. For Sparks residents who want quality work without the pretense, that kind of no-nonsense approach is exactly what they're looking for.

Services

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery here covers the full range of residential pieces, from sofas and loveseats to dining chairs, bar stools, and bedroom ottomans. The shop handles fabric removal, frame inspection, foam and padding replacement, and new fabric application as part of a complete job. Customers can choose from fabric samples on hand or bring their own material for something specific. Spring repair and webbing replacement are also part of the process when older pieces need structural attention before the cosmetic work begins.

Service Area

Great Cover Up serves Sparks and the surrounding Truckee Meadows area, including East Reno, Sun Valley, and communities along Interstate 80 east of downtown Reno. The Sparks location makes it convenient for residents of the eastern part of the metro area who don't want to drive across town for upholstery work. Northern Nevada residents from as far as Fernley occasionally come in for trusted local service.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get a quote from an upholstery shop in Sparks?
The easiest way is to call and describe your piece, then bring it in for an in-person look. Some shops will work from photos for simple jobs, but an in-person inspection gives you the most accurate price because the upholsterer can check the frame, springs, and padding condition. Most quotes are free and there's no obligation.
Can dining chairs be reupholstered, and is it worth the cost?
Dining chairs are actually one of the most cost-effective reupholstery jobs because the seats are usually drop-in cushions that take minimal labor. A set of six chairs can often be refreshed for less than you'd expect, and the visual impact on a dining room is significant. If the chairs have a solid wood frame in good shape, reupholstering almost always makes financial sense.
What's the difference between reupholstering and recovering furniture?
Reupholstering is a more thorough process that involves removing all the old material, inspecting and repairing the underlying structure, and replacing foam and padding before new fabric is applied. Recovering typically refers to putting new fabric over the existing material without addressing what's underneath. Reupholstering produces a better and longer-lasting result, especially on older pieces.
How long does reupholstered furniture typically last?
A well-done reupholstery job using quality fabric and new foam can last 10 to 15 years or more with normal use. The durability depends heavily on fabric choice, how heavily the piece is used, and whether the underlying frame was in good condition. Performance fabrics designed for high traffic will outlast standard decorative upholstery fabrics in busy households.
Can leather furniture be repaired instead of fully reupholstered?
Minor leather damage like small cuts, scratches, or worn patches can often be repaired with leather filler and color matching without replacing the whole cover. Full leather replacement is a bigger investment but worthwhile when the damage is extensive or the leather has dried and cracked throughout. A shop assessment will help you decide which approach makes more sense for your piece.
Do upholstery shops in Sparks offer pickup and delivery?
Pickup and delivery availability varies by shop, so it's worth asking when you call. Larger pieces like sofas and sectionals are harder to transport, and some shops accommodate that with a delivery fee. For smaller pieces, dropping off and picking up is usually the standard process and helps keep costs down.
