Frequently Asked Questions

Is it worth reupholstering furniture in Gibsonia, or should I just buy new?
Reupholstering makes the most sense when the piece has a solid hardwood frame, sentimental value, or a price tag that would be hard to replicate with new furniture. A quality sofa frame can last decades with fresh fabric and new foam, often at a fraction of the cost of a comparable new piece.
How long does a typical reupholstery job take?
Most standard pieces like armchairs or sofas take two to four weeks, depending on the shop's current workload and how quickly fabric arrives. If you're choosing a custom or specialty fabric, factor in extra time for ordering and shipping.
Can I bring my own fabric to Kim's Upholstery?
Many upholstery shops will work with customer-supplied fabric, though it's worth confirming this beforehand. You'll want to make sure the fabric is upholstery-grade and that you have enough yardage, since the shop will typically calculate the amount needed based on the piece's pattern and size.
Do I need to remove the furniture from my home before calling?
No, you can start with a phone call or even photos to get a rough estimate. Once you have a better idea of the cost and scope, you can arrange to bring the piece into the shop for a proper assessment and final quote.
What types of fabric work best for reupholstering a family sofa?
For high-traffic family seating, look for tightly woven fabrics with a high rub count, like performance velvet, microfiber, or solution-dyed acrylic. These hold up well to everyday use, resist staining, and are generally easier to clean than loosely woven options.
Will the reupholstered furniture look different from the original?
Yes, it will look different because you're essentially choosing a new fabric, but a skilled upholsterer will maintain or improve the original shape and structure. You can stay close to the original look by choosing a similar color and texture, or take the opportunity to update the piece entirely.
