Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Traditional reupholstery at this shop means fully removing old fabric, replacing worn padding and foam, and applying new upholstery material that's stapled, tacked, and sewn to last. Custom slipcovers are a different process, involving precise pattern drafting from the actual piece so the cover fits snugly rather than loosely like a ready-made option. Slipcovers can be made in cotton, linen, velvet, or outdoor-grade fabric depending on the customer's needs. Both services are done to measure, meaning no guesswork about sizing or fit.

Service Area

Jennifer Repholstery and Custom Slipcover Shop serves customers throughout High Point and the broader Piedmont Triad area. Clients from Thomasville, Lexington, and Greensboro frequently come to High Point for specialized upholstery work given the city's deep furniture industry roots.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a custom slipcover and standard reupholstery?
Reupholstery permanently replaces the fabric on a piece, while a slipcover is a fitted removable cover that goes over the existing upholstery. Slipcovers are easier to wash and can be swapped out seasonally, while reupholstery typically looks cleaner and more tailored.
Can you make a slipcover for an oddly shaped or oversized sofa?
Custom slipcovers are pattern-drafted directly from your specific piece, so unusual shapes and sizes are handled without issue. That's the main advantage of a custom approach over buying a ready-made slipcover that rarely fits well.
What fabrics work best for custom slipcovers?
Durable, washable fabrics like canvas, cotton duck, linen blends, and performance fabrics are popular choices for slipcovers. If you're covering furniture in a high-traffic room, look for fabrics with a tight weave that resists snags and washes without shrinking.
How long does it take to make a custom slipcover?
A custom slipcover for a single sofa or chair typically takes one to two weeks once the fabric is sourced and the pattern is drafted. Rush timelines may be possible depending on the shop's current workload.
Is reupholstery more expensive than having a custom slipcover made?
Full reupholstery generally costs more because it's a more labor-intensive process involving teardown, padding replacement, and permanent fabric application. Custom slipcovers are a more budget-friendly option if the existing upholstery is structurally fine.
Can you reupholster dining chairs with a slipcover option for special occasions?
Yes, some customers choose to have dining chairs fully reupholstered in a durable everyday fabric and then commission slipcovers in a more formal material for holidays or events. It's a practical approach that gives you flexibility without replacing chairs twice.
