Services

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery at this shop means stripping a piece down to its frame, inspecting and repairing the structure as needed, and rebuilding it with new foam, padding, and fabric. Dining chairs are a frequent project, involving the removal of old fabric and padding and the application of new materials to seat cushions and backs. Sofas and loveseats require more extensive work, including replacing webbing or sinuous springs when needed before new upholstery goes on. Fabric selection is part of the process, with customers typically bringing samples or choosing from options the shop can source based on durability and design requirements.

Service Area

Greg Mueller Upholstery serves Thiensville and the surrounding Ozaukee County communities, including Mequon, Cedarburg, and Grafton. Customers from the northern Milwaukee suburbs regularly bring pieces up to Thiensville for quality reupholstery work. The shop's location near the Milwaukee River corridor puts it within easy reach of both lakefront communities and inland Ozaukee County neighborhoods.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it typically cost to reupholster a sofa in Thiensville?
Sofa reupholstery in the area generally runs anywhere from $600 to $1,500 or more depending on the size, fabric choice, and whether structural repairs are needed. Getting an in-person quote after the shop looks at your specific piece gives you the most accurate number.
Can you reupholster a piece with fabric I've already purchased?
Yes, bringing your own fabric is a common request, though it's important to confirm you have enough yardage before the project starts since re-sourcing mid-project can cause delays. The shop can advise on how much fabric you'll need once the piece is assessed.
Is it possible to change the style of a piece during reupholstery, like adding tufting?
Changing the design profile during reupholstery is very doable in many cases, and adding tufting, changing button details, or modifying cushion styles are all things a skilled upholsterer can handle. It's worth discussing early in the process so the craftsman can plan the additional work into the quote and timeline.
How do I find a fabric that will hold up in a home with pets?
Tightly woven fabrics like crypton, outdoor-grade performance textiles, and microfibers tend to resist pet hair and claw damage better than loosely woven or delicate materials. The shop can steer you toward practical options that still look sharp.
What happens to my furniture frame during reupholstery?
The frame gets a thorough inspection once the old fabric is stripped away, and any loose joints, cracked wood, or failing supports get addressed before new materials go on. Starting with a solid structure is what makes the finished piece last.
Do you work on vintage or mid-century modern pieces?
Mid-century modern furniture is one of the most popular reupholstery requests because the frames on those pieces are typically solid and well-designed, making them ideal candidates for fresh fabric. The clean lines of that style also make the upholstery work visually straightforward compared to heavily carved traditional pieces.
