Services & Process

The shop focuses on furniture reupholstery, which covers the full process of removing old fabric, inspecting and repairing the frame and padding, and applying new material. Sofas, chairs, and dining sets are common projects. Customers can choose from fabric options available through the shop, and the team handles pattern layout and cutting in-house. If a piece needs new foam or batting to restore its original comfort, that replacement is done as part of the reupholstery process rather than as an add-on.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between reupholstery and slipcovers?
Reupholstery replaces the actual fabric that's sewn and stapled to the frame, giving a permanent, fitted result. Slipcovers are removable covers that go over existing upholstery. Reupholstery tends to look more polished and lasts longer, while slipcovers are easier to swap out or wash.
Can Kansas City Upholstery work on antique or vintage furniture?
Older frames with solid wood construction are often ideal for reupholstery since they were built to last. The key is assessing the frame's condition before starting. An upholsterer can identify whether any joinery or structural work is needed before the fabric goes on.
How do I get an accurate estimate for my reupholstery project?
The most accurate estimates come from an in-person look at the piece, not a phone description. Bring the furniture in or share detailed photos as a starting point. Size, fabric choice, and the current condition of padding and frame all affect the final cost.
What fabrics hold up best for households with kids or pets?
Tightly woven fabrics like canvas, microfiber, or performance blends resist snags and clean more easily than loosely woven options. Leather and faux leather are also practical choices for high-traffic areas. Ask the shop to show you options rated for heavy use.
Is reupholstery more cost-effective than buying new furniture?
For high-quality or solid-wood-framed pieces, reupholstery frequently costs less than buying a comparable new item. New furniture at budget price points is often made with lower-quality frames and padding that won't last as long. If the frame is good, recovering it makes strong financial sense.
How do upholstery shops handle pattern matching on patterned fabrics?
Pattern matching requires extra yardage and careful planning during cutting. An experienced upholsterer accounts for repeat lengths and plans cuts so the pattern lines up across seams and panels. Make sure to mention patterned fabric early in the estimate process so the yardage calculation is accurate.
