Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery at a dedicated shop like this involves fully disassembling the fabric components of a piece, replacing foam and padding that has broken down over time, and recovering with new fabric selected by the customer. Sofas, chairs, ottomans, dining chairs, and headboards are all common candidates. A specialist shop focuses entirely on this craft, which often means deeper expertise in fabric sourcing, construction techniques, and handling unusual or older frames. Customers who need the job done right, not just done fast, tend to seek out shops with this level of focus.

Service Area

Imperial Upholstering Company serves Hanahan and draws customers from across the greater Charleston area, including Goose Creek, North Charleston, Ladson, and Summerville. Its central location in the Lowcountry metro makes it easy to reach from multiple directions without fighting downtown traffic.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose a dedicated upholstery specialist in Hanahan over a general furniture store?
Dedicated upholstery shops spend all their time on fabric, foam, and frame work, which means they've solved more problems and worked with more materials than a general store's upholstery department typically has. You're more likely to get honest guidance on whether a piece is worth saving and what fabric will actually hold up long-term.
How much fabric does it take to reupholster a typical sofa?
A standard three-cushion sofa usually requires between 12 and 18 yards of fabric depending on the size, pattern repeat, and how many decorative elements like welting are included. Your upholsterer will calculate the exact yardage after measuring the piece so you're not guessing at a fabric order.
Can upholstery shops in Hanahan handle military or government housing furniture?
Given Hanahan's proximity to Joint Base Charleston, local shops are often familiar with residents in military housing who want to refresh furniture between moves. It's worth mentioning your situation when you call because some shops have experience working within base community guidelines or tight timelines.
What's the typical cost range for reupholstering a chair versus a sofa?
A single armchair might run anywhere from $200 to $600 depending on complexity and fabric choice, while a full sofa can range from $800 to $2,000 or more for high-quality fabric and thorough foam replacement. These are rough ranges, and the only way to get an accurate number is a quote based on your specific piece.
How do I care for newly reupholstered furniture to make it last?
Vacuum fabric regularly with a soft brush attachment, address spills immediately by blotting rather than rubbing, and keep upholstered pieces out of direct sunlight where possible. Your upholsterer can recommend specific cleaning products based on the fabric type used on your piece.
Can I supply my own fabric for an upholstery job?
Most upholstery shops will work with customer-supplied fabric, though they may charge a cutting or handling fee since they can't guarantee the quality or width of fabric they didn't source. Make sure the fabric you bring is rated for upholstery use, as decorator or drapery fabric often isn't durable enough for furniture that gets daily use.
