Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Hill's Upholstery handles furniture reupholstery across a range of piece types, from everyday sofas and recliners to more involved projects like wingback chairs or tufted benches. The process involves removing old fabric carefully to preserve the frame, checking webbing and springs for wear, replacing padding as needed, and applying new fabric with clean, tight stitching. Topsham's coastal neighbors bring in pieces exposed to salt air and humidity, which can accelerate wear on fabric and foam, making periodic reupholstery a practical investment rather than a luxury.

Service Area

Hill's Upholstery serves Topsham and the surrounding mid-coast Maine region. Brunswick, Bath, Bowdoinham, and Harpswell are all nearby, and customers from the greater Brunswick area make up a large portion of the shop's clientele. The location off Route 1 makes it convenient for residents traveling from either direction along the coast.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my furniture frame is worth reupholstering?
If the frame is solid hardwood and doesn't wobble or creak, it's almost always worth reupholstering. Particle board frames or those with significant structural damage may not justify the investment, and a good upholsterer will tell you honestly which category your piece falls into.
Does living near the coast affect which fabric I should choose?
It can. Coastal homes in the Brunswick and Bath area tend to have more humidity and salt air exposure, which can degrade certain natural fabrics faster. Performance fabrics with moisture resistance or tightly woven synthetic blends often hold up better in those conditions.
Can Hill's Upholstery work on furniture that's been in storage?
Yes, stored furniture is a common project. Pieces that have been in a barn or garage often have mildew issues or compressed foam that needs replacing, but if the frame is intact, reupholstery can bring them back completely.
How do I transport a large sofa to an upholstery shop?
Most customers use a truck or borrow one. Sofas can usually be removed from legs to reduce bulk for transport. Some upholstery shops offer pickup and delivery for large jobs, so it's worth asking when you call.
Can I change the cushion style when I get my furniture reupholstered?
Absolutely. Many customers use the reupholstery process as an opportunity to switch from attached to removable cushions, change cushion depth, or update the seat firmness. It's a good time to make those adjustments since the piece is already being worked on.
What's a realistic budget for reupholstering a two-cushion sofa?
Costs vary by fabric choice, cushion work needed, and labor time, but a mid-range two-cushion sofa often runs between $500 and $1,200 fully reupholstered in Maine. Higher-end fabrics or extensive frame repairs will push the number up.
