The process typically involves a full teardown of the piece, assessment of the frame and interior components, replacement of worn padding and springs, and application of new fabric. Saint Johnsbury's colder winters mean customers often look for fabrics that feel warm and substantial. The shop can advise on fabric options that balance aesthetics with the practical demands of a Vermont home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Hawk Ridge work on recliner chairs?
Recliners can be reupholstered, though they're more complex than standard chairs because of the mechanical components inside. A skilled upholsterer will work around the reclining mechanism while replacing the fabric and padding.
Can you reupholster furniture that has broken springs?
Yes, spring repair or replacement is typically part of a thorough reupholstery job. Sagging or broken springs are often what causes a piece to feel uncomfortable, so fixing them before adding new fabric is the right approach.
How do I know what fabric weight to choose?
The upholsterer can guide you based on how the piece will be used. High-traffic furniture like a family room sofa benefits from heavier, more durable fabric, while a formal sitting room chair can use something lighter and more decorative.
Is it possible to change the style of a piece during reupholstery?
Within limits, yes. You can change the fabric, the cushion firmness, and sometimes minor details like button tufting or nail-head trim. Major structural changes to the shape of the piece are generally not possible through reupholstery alone.
How should I prepare my furniture before bringing it to the shop?
Clear out any storage compartments and remove any decorative pillows or throws. Beyond that, there's not much prep needed since the shop will handle the disassembly and fabric removal themselves.
Do Northeast Kingdom upholstery shops handle commercial furniture?
Many do, especially for smaller commercial clients like offices, inns, or restaurants in the region. It's worth asking directly, since commercial jobs often involve different fabric grades and faster turnaround requirements than residential work.
