Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between furniture repair and furniture reupholstery?
Reupholstery means replacing the fabric, foam, and padding on a piece, while repair focuses on fixing structural or functional problems like broken frames, loose joints, or worn-out springs. Many older pieces need both, and a shop that handles each service can address the whole problem in one visit.
Can a sagging sofa cushion be fixed without reupholstering the whole couch?
Often, yes. Sagging is usually caused by compressed foam or worn-out support webbing, both of which can be replaced without touching the fabric. If the fabric is still in good shape, a cushion refill or support repair is a quick and affordable fix.
Do upholstery shops in Peoria Heights work on antique furniture?
Many do, and it requires a more careful approach than working on modern pieces. Antique frames are often irreplaceable, so a good shop will inspect for damage, make careful repairs, and use materials that are appropriate to the age and style of the piece.
How do I choose the right fabric for my furniture?
Think about how the piece is used first. High-traffic seating in a family room benefits from a durable performance fabric, while a formal accent chair in a low-use room can handle something more delicate like velvet or a woven fabric. A good upholstery shop will walk you through options that fit both your lifestyle and your aesthetic.
Can upholstery shops fix furniture that was damaged in a move?
Yes, move-related damage like cracked frames, loose legs, and torn fabric are all things a full-service shop can address. Bringing the piece in for an assessment first is the best way to understand what's involved and get an accurate repair estimate.
Is it possible to change the style of a piece when reupholstering it?
Absolutely. Many customers use reupholstery as an opportunity to update the look of a piece entirely, whether that means changing the fabric color, adding tufting, or altering the cushion style. Discuss what you have in mind with the shop early so they can plan accordingly.
