Services

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

The primary focus here is furniture reupholstery, covering everything from single accent chairs to full sofas and sectionals. Reupholstery involves removing old fabric and worn padding, checking the frame and spring system for damage or sagging, adding new foam or batting to restore the original shape, and fitting new fabric tightly and cleanly over the piece. Smaller repair jobs, like fixing a cushion that's lost its support or patching a tear in an existing fabric, may also be available depending on the scope. Personal shops often take a hands-on approach that larger operations don't.

Service Area

Jim's Furniture Repair is located in Reno, Nevada, and serves customers across the city as well as nearby areas like Sparks and the surrounding Washoe County communities. Reno's central location in northern Nevada makes it accessible for customers coming from the north valleys and areas closer to the Sierra foothills.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of furniture can Jim's Furniture Repair reupholster?
Most standard upholstered pieces are fair game, including sofas, loveseats, armchairs, dining chairs, and ottomans. It's always best to call first and describe your piece, especially if it's an unusual shape or an antique, to make sure it's a good fit for the shop.
Is reupholstery worth it for a secondhand or thrift store find?
If the frame is solid and well-constructed, yes, reupholstering a secondhand find can be a smart move that costs far less than buying new quality furniture. The key is making sure the bones of the piece are in good shape before investing in new fabric and foam.
How do I prepare my furniture before dropping it off for reupholstery?
Remove cushions if they're separate and clear out anything stored inside the piece. You don't need to strip the old fabric yourself since that's part of the shop's job, but cleaning out crumbs and debris is appreciated.
Can Jim's Furniture Repair match a specific fabric color or pattern?
Owner-operated shops typically have access to fabric catalogs with hundreds of options, and matching a general color or style is usually doable. Matching an exact discontinued fabric is harder, but a skilled upholsterer can often find a very close alternative.
How much does it cost to reupholster a single armchair in Reno?
A standard armchair reupholstery in the Reno area usually runs between $200 and $600 depending on the chair's size, complexity, and your fabric choice. Getting a direct estimate from the shop after they see the piece gives you the most accurate number.
Does the shop offer any kind of warranty on their reupholstery work?
Warranty policies vary by shop, and it's a great question to ask upfront when you get your estimate. Many owner-operated upholsterers stand behind their craftsmanship and will address issues related to stitching or fabric fitting if something goes wrong shortly after pickup.
