Frequently Asked Questions

Does Joyce's Upholstery do pickup and delivery for furniture?
It's best to call the shop directly at (843) 554-7553 to ask about pickup and delivery availability, as policies vary by shop and distance. Some upholstery shops offer this as an add-on service, while others work on a drop-off only basis. Having your piece dimensions and location ready when you call will help them give you a clear answer.
Can a recliner be reupholstered without losing its functionality?
Yes, a skilled upholstery shop can recover a recliner while preserving all of its mechanical functions. The process requires careful disassembly and reassembly around the reclining mechanism, which adds some labor time compared to a standard chair. Make sure the shop has experience with recliners specifically before dropping it off.
What's the difference between reupholstery and slip covers?
Reupholstery involves permanently replacing the existing fabric by taking the piece apart and rebuilding it with new material, giving a custom, tailored result. Slipcovers are removable fabric covers that fit over the existing upholstery, which is faster and less expensive but rarely looks as polished. For a piece you plan to keep long-term, reupholstery is almost always the better choice.
How do I choose the right fabric for my furniture?
Consider how the piece is used daily. High-traffic furniture in a home with kids or pets benefits from tightly woven, stain-resistant fabrics with a high rub count. For a formal living room piece that gets lighter use, you have more flexibility to choose softer or more decorative textiles. A good upholstery shop will guide you through the options based on your specific situation.
Is it possible to change the style of a piece when reupholstering?
Absolutely. Many customers use a reupholstery project as an opportunity to update the look of a piece entirely, changing the fabric color, texture, or even adding details like button tufting or nailhead trim. The shop can advise you on what modifications are structurally feasible. It's one of the most creative parts of the process.
How do I know if a piece is worth reupholstering?
The key factor is the quality and condition of the frame. If the frame is solid hardwood and the joints are tight, it's almost always worth reupholstering because you're essentially getting a well-built piece of furniture for the cost of new fabric and labor. If the frame is weak or made from low-quality materials, the cost may not be justified. A shop can usually give you an honest opinion when they look at it.
