About Irwin's Furniture & Restoration

Irwin's Furniture and Restoration has built a reputation in Phoenix, Arizona across antiques, furniture reupholstery, and cabinetry, earning a 4.1-star rating from 23 reviewers. That breadth of services makes it a practical choice for customers who need more than just new fabric on a piece. Phoenix has a strong market for antique restoration, partly because so many residents bring heirloom furniture from out of state and need a local shop that understands older construction methods. Irwin's multi-trade skill set means one shop can handle a piece from frame repair and cabinet refinishing all the way through to the final upholstery.

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery at Irwin's covers the full range of seating and cushioned pieces, with attention to both the structural and cosmetic elements of each job. Antique restoration goes deeper, often involving period-accurate fabric choices, hand-tied spring systems, and careful work on delicate older frames that can't handle modern power tools carelessly. Cabinetry services add another layer, allowing customers to address wooden elements like built-ins, hutches, or case pieces alongside upholstery work in a single visit. That combination is especially useful for customers restoring a matched furniture set or a room full of pieces that need consistent finishing.

Service Area

Irwin's Furniture and Restoration operates out of Phoenix and serves customers throughout the greater Phoenix metro area. Its central location makes it accessible to clients coming from surrounding communities like Tempe, Chandler, and the west side of the valley who are looking for a shop that handles antiques and cabinetry alongside upholstery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you restore antique furniture that has both wood damage and worn upholstery?
Yes, and that's actually one of the advantages of a multi-service shop. Handling both the structural woodwork and the reupholstery in one place means the finished piece looks cohesive and consistent rather than like two separate repairs done at different times.
Do you work on antique pieces that need period-accurate fabric?
Antique restoration often calls for specific weave patterns, textures, or colors that match a piece's original era. A shop experienced in antiques will help you source historically appropriate materials or guide you toward close modern equivalents that maintain the look without sacrificing durability.
What cabinetry services are typically offered alongside upholstery work?
Cabinet services often include refinishing, hinge and hardware replacement, joinery repairs, and surface touch-ups on case furniture like sideboards, hutches, and armoires. When combined with reupholstery on the same piece, the result is a fully restored item rather than a partial fix.
How do you price a job that involves multiple services like wood repair and upholstery?
Most shops price each trade component separately, so you'll see a line item for structural work, another for any refinishing, and another for the upholstery material and labor. That breakdown lets you decide which repairs to prioritize if budget is a concern.
Is it safe to reupholster a very old or fragile antique chair?
With the right experience, yes. Skilled antique restorers know how to work carefully around aged joints and delicate wood finishes without causing additional damage. It's worth asking a shop directly about their experience with pieces from a specific period before committing.
How do I transport large antique furniture safely to your shop?
For large or particularly fragile pieces, it's worth wrapping corners and legs in moving blankets before loading. Some shops offer pickup and delivery services for an additional fee, which is often the safest option for genuinely valuable or oversized antiques.
