Frequently Asked Questions

Does Howard's Upholstery Shop work on antique furniture?
Upholstery shops with years of experience typically handle antiques carefully, preserving original frames and joinery where possible. It's worth discussing the age and value of your piece upfront so the approach can be tailored appropriately.
Can I bring in fabric I purchased myself?
Most upholstery shops accept customer-supplied fabric, though they may charge a cutting fee or require a minimum yardage. Make sure the fabric you choose is appropriate for the intended use, as some decorative fabrics aren't durable enough for heavily used furniture.
How do I choose the right fabric for a sofa with pets or kids?
Performance fabrics like Crypton, Sunbrella, or tightly woven microfibers are your best options for busy households. These materials resist staining, hold up to claws, and can often be cleaned with mild soap and water without damage.
Is Glen Burnie a convenient location if I'm coming from south Baltimore?
Yes, Glen Burnie is a straightforward drive south on I-97 or Route 2 from Baltimore's southern neighborhoods. It's easy to reach from Curtis Bay, Brooklyn, and other nearby communities without dealing with city traffic.
How do I know how much fabric is needed for my furniture?
A professional upholsterer will measure the piece and give you a yardage estimate based on the fabric width and pattern repeat. Patterned fabrics typically require more yardage to align the design across seams.
Can an upholstery shop change the style of a piece, not just the fabric?
Yes, skilled upholsterers can modify silhouettes in some cases, such as removing skirts, changing button tufting, or adding nailhead trim. Discuss what you're envisioning during the initial consultation so they can tell you what's structurally possible.
