Frequently Asked Questions

Can Hicks Upholstery Shop work on antique furniture without damaging the frame?
Experienced upholstery shops know how to handle older frames carefully, since antique wood can be more brittle or have unusual joinery. It's a good idea to mention the age and origin of the piece when you call so the shop can plan accordingly.
What should I bring when I drop off furniture at an Annapolis upholstery shop?
Bring the piece itself along with any fabric swatches or inspiration photos if you have a specific look in mind. If you have a fabric already purchased, bring that too so the shop can confirm it's the right amount and type for your project.
Does reupholstering furniture affect its antique value?
It depends on the piece and how the work is done. For furniture that's a collectible or museum-quality antique, reupholstering can affect resale value. For pieces that are simply old and well-made, fresh upholstery usually increases both function and appearance without hurting value.
How do I choose the right fabric for a piece I'm reupholstering?
Think about where the piece will live and how much use it'll get. High-traffic pieces benefit from tightly woven, durable fabrics like canvas or performance textiles, while decorative pieces can handle more delicate options like velvet or linen.
Are there upholstery shops in Annapolis that handle rush orders?
Some shops can accommodate faster turnarounds depending on their current workload, but rush jobs often come at a premium. If you have a deadline, mention it when you first call so the shop can tell you honestly whether it's feasible.
Can I get just the cushions replaced without reupholstering the whole piece?
Yes, cushion-only replacement is a common and cost-effective option when the fabric is still in good shape but the fill has flattened out. A shop can cut new foam to match the original dimensions and recover it in the same or new fabric.
