About Jorge's Upholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery is the core of what Jorge's Upholstery does. That means stripping old fabric down to the frame, inspecting and repairing the structure, replacing worn foam and batting, and then applying new fabric or leather to your specifications. They can work with couches, loveseats, dining chairs, recliners, and more. Fabric selection is part of the process too, so customers can choose from a range of materials that hold up well in Louisiana's humid conditions, including performance fabrics designed to resist moisture and mildew.

Service Area

Jorge's Upholstery is based in Metairie and serves the surrounding Jefferson Parish communities. Customers from Harahan, River Ridge, and nearby parts of New Orleans regularly bring pieces in for work. It's a convenient option for anyone on the east bank of Jefferson Parish.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does furniture reupholstery take in Metairie?
Most standard pieces like sofas or armchairs take one to three weeks depending on the shop's current schedule and the complexity of the job. Heavily structured pieces or antiques with detailed woodwork can take longer. It's always smart to call Jorge's directly for a current estimate before dropping off your furniture.
Is it worth reupholstering an old sofa instead of buying new?
If the frame is solid and the piece has sentimental value or high-quality construction, reupholstery often makes more financial sense than buying a comparable new sofa. In Louisiana, many older pieces were built with hardwood frames that outlast modern furniture by decades. A skilled shop can give the piece another 15 to 20 years of life.
What fabrics hold up best in Louisiana's humidity?
Performance fabrics like solution-dyed acrylics, polyester blends, and vinyl are popular choices in the New Orleans metro area because they resist moisture and are easy to clean. Natural fabrics like linen and cotton can work indoors with air conditioning but tend to absorb humidity faster. Your upholsterer can point you toward options that balance durability with the look you want.
Can Jorge's Upholstery reupholster antique chairs with carved wood frames?
Yes, most experienced upholstery shops in the area are comfortable working around ornate carved frames without damaging the wood. The process requires careful hand-tacking and trimming rather than staple guns in tight areas. If the carved detail needs any refinishing, the shop may refer you to a furniture restorer for that part of the work.
Do I need to bring my furniture in, or do you offer pickup?
Many Metairie upholstery shops offer both drop-off and pickup options, especially for large pieces like sectionals that are hard to transport. It's best to call Jorge's at (504) 357-4576 to confirm their current pickup availability and whether there's an additional fee for that service.
How do I get an accurate quote for reupholstery work?
The most reliable way is to bring the piece in person or share clear photos that show the current condition, the size, and any details like button tufting or rolled arms that add labor time. Fabric choice also affects the price significantly since materials range widely in cost. A good shop will walk you through options at different price points so you can make an informed decision.
