Frequently Asked Questions

Is it worth reupholstering older furniture, or should I just buy new?
Older, solid-wood framed furniture is often built better than today's mass-produced pieces, making reupholstery a smart investment. If the frame is sturdy and the piece has sentimental value, reupholstering almost always costs less than replacing it with something of comparable quality.
How long does a typical furniture reupholstery project take?
Most standard pieces like armchairs or dining chairs are completed within one to two weeks. Larger items like sectionals or pieces requiring frame repairs may take longer, so it's worth asking about the timeline when you drop off your furniture.
Can I supply my own fabric, or do I have to choose from your samples?
Many shops accept customer-supplied fabric, but it's important to check that the yardage is correct and the material is suitable for upholstery use. Decorator fabrics and upholstery-weight textiles work best, while lightweight or loosely woven fabrics may not hold up well over time.
Do you work on antique furniture that needs special care?
Antique pieces are a common request, and a good upholsterer knows how to remove old fabric without damaging carved wood or delicate joinery. It's worth mentioning the age and style of your piece upfront so the shop can plan accordingly.
What fabrics work best for homes with kids or pets?
Performance fabrics made from tightly woven polyester or solution-dyed acrylic fibers resist stains, moisture, and abrasion better than natural alternatives. Crypton and Sunbrella are popular brand options that hold up well in high-traffic households without sacrificing appearance.
Can you match the original fabric style of a piece I'm having reupholstered?
Exact matches depend on whether the original fabric is still in production, but a skilled upholsterer can usually find something very close in color, texture, and pattern scale. Bringing a fabric swatch or photo of the original helps narrow down the best available options.
