Services

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Homestyle Custom Upholstery handles full furniture reupholstery on sofas, sectionals, chairs, ottomans, headboards, and other upholstered pieces. Custom work means they're not limited to standard fabric options. Clients can bring their own fabric or choose from what the shop stocks, and they'll work to match specific design visions. Cushion rebuilding with new foam or fiber fill, spring repair, and structural frame work are all part of a thorough job. The custom angle also means they can handle unusual shapes or vintage pieces that cookie-cutter shops might turn away.

Service Area

Homestyle Custom Upholstery operates out of Milwaukee, WI and takes on projects from across the city and surrounding suburbs. Whether you're coming from the South Side, Brookfield, or further out in Waukesha County, it's worth a call to confirm they can accommodate your piece.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I supply my own fabric for a reupholstery job?
Many custom upholstery shops do accept customer-supplied fabric, though it's always smart to confirm this before purchasing yardage. The shop can tell you exactly how much fabric you'll need for your specific piece so you don't run short. Bringing a sample or photo of the fabric beforehand helps them plan the cut layout.
How do I figure out how much fabric I need for my sofa?
A standard three-cushion sofa typically requires 12 to 18 yards of fabric, depending on its size and whether the fabric has a pattern repeat that needs matching. Patterned fabrics usually require more yardage to align the design correctly across cushions and panels. Your upholsterer can give you a precise number after measuring the piece.
Can a sectional sofa be reupholstered as one unit?
Yes, sectionals can be reupholstered, though they're a larger and more involved project than a standard sofa. Each section is typically worked on separately and then reassembled. Getting a quote that covers the entire sectional at once is the most practical approach.
What's the difference between reupholstering and slipcovers?
Slipcovers are removable fabric covers that fit over existing upholstery without permanently changing the piece. Reupholstery involves stripping the furniture down and replacing the underlying fabric and padding at a structural level. Slipcovers are cheaper and temporary. Reupholstery is a longer-lasting, more polished solution.
Can you reupholster a headboard or bed frame?
Headboards are a fairly common reupholstery project and most shops that handle custom work can take them on. The process involves attaching new batting and fabric over the headboard base, often with button tufting or nailhead trim details. It's a good way to refresh a bedroom without buying a whole new bed.
How should I transport a large sofa to the upholstery shop?
Renting a cargo van or pickup truck from a local rental company is the most common approach for large pieces. Some upholstery shops offer pickup and delivery for an additional fee, so it's worth asking when you call. Wrapping the piece in moving blankets during transport protects it from additional damage.
