Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my furniture is worth reupholstering?
A good rule of thumb is to look at the frame first. If the frame is solid wood and structurally sound, reupholstery almost always makes financial and sentimental sense, especially for quality or antique pieces. A shop like this one can assess the piece and give you an honest opinion before you commit.
How long does furniture reupholstery take in New Orleans?
Most standard reupholstery jobs take one to three weeks depending on the complexity of the piece and how busy the shop is. Larger sectionals or heavily detailed pieces may take longer. It's best to call ahead and ask for a timeline estimate when you schedule your appointment.
Can I bring my own fabric to the shop?
Many upholstery shops will work with customer-supplied fabric, but you'll want to confirm this before you buy anything. The shop may have requirements around fabric weight or width to ensure it works well for the specific piece. Ask when you call so there are no surprises.
Does New Orleans humidity affect upholstery fabric choices?
It does matter. High humidity can encourage mold and mildew in certain natural fabrics if pieces aren't kept in climate-controlled spaces. Performance fabrics and treated materials tend to hold up better in Louisiana's climate. The shop can point you toward options that are both attractive and practical for local conditions.
What's the price range for reupholstering a sofa?
Sofa reupholstery costs vary widely based on size, fabric choice, and the amount of labor involved, but most standard sofas run somewhere between $500 and $1,500 or more for higher-end work. Getting a quote specific to your piece is the only way to get an accurate number. Contact the shop directly for an estimate.
Is it possible to change the style of a piece during reupholstery?
Yes, and this is one of the best parts of the process. You can choose a completely different fabric color, pattern, or texture from what the piece originally had. Some shops can also modify tufting, piping, or cushion style to update the overall look while keeping the original frame.
