Frequently Asked Questions

Is it practical to reupholster furniture in a San Francisco apartment?
Absolutely. Given how much quality furniture costs in San Francisco, reupholstering a solid piece is often the smarter financial move. You'll drop off or arrange transport for the item, and the shop handles all the work off-site, so your living space isn't disrupted.
Can this shop handle antique or vintage furniture from SF's older homes?
Older San Francisco homes are full of furniture with real character, and experienced reupholsterers know how to work with aged frames carefully. It's worth describing your piece in detail when you call so the shop can let you know if the job fits their capabilities.
What if I already have fabric I want to use for my furniture?
Bringing your own fabric, called COM or customer's own material, is a common practice in upholstery. The shop will typically let you know how much yardage you'll need based on your piece's measurements before you purchase anything.
How do I transport a large sofa to an upholstery shop in San Francisco?
Renting a van or hiring a small moving service for a single item is a common approach for SF residents without a truck. Some upholstery shops offer pickup options for large pieces, so it's worth asking when you call to arrange your estimate.
How long does a typical reupholstery job take in San Francisco?
A standard sofa or armchair typically takes one to three weeks, though that depends on the shop's schedule and how complex the work is. It's smart to ask upfront so you can plan around being without the piece.
Will reupholstering my chair change how it feels to sit in?
It can, in a good way. If the cushion foam or padding has compressed over time, replacing it as part of the reupholstery process can make the piece significantly more comfortable. You can also request a firmer or softer fill depending on your preference.
