Services & Process

Kittinger offers three distinct categories of work: furniture reupholstery, retail furniture sales, and refinishing services. Reupholstery involves stripping pieces down to the frame and rebuilding them with fresh materials, covering everything from cushion replacement to full fabric changes. Refinishing services address the wood components of furniture, which can include stripping old finishes, repairing scratches and gouges, staining, and applying a new protective topcoat. Having all three services under one roof means a customer can bring in a piece that needs both new fabric and refinished wood trim and get it all handled in one visit.

Service Area

Kittinger Furniture Company serves Buffalo and the surrounding communities throughout Erie County and the greater Western New York region. Customers from Amherst, Cheektowaga, Tonawanda, and beyond make the trip to Buffalo for their restoration services. The shop's central Buffalo location puts it within easy reach of most of the metro area.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between reupholstery and refinishing?
Reupholstery deals with the fabric, foam, and padding of a furniture piece, while refinishing focuses on the exposed wood surfaces. Many pieces benefit from both treatments at the same time, especially older furniture where the finish has worn alongside the fabric.
Does Kittinger work on antique furniture?
Buffalo-area shops with refinishing and reupholstery capabilities are well-suited for antique restoration, and a shop like Kittinger with deep regional roots has experience handling older, more delicate pieces. It's worth calling to discuss the specific age and style of your furniture before bringing it in.
Can I buy new furniture and have it customized at the same shop?
A shop that carries retail furniture alongside upholstery and refinishing services can often help you select a piece and customize the fabric or finish to your exact specifications. This is particularly useful for clients who want something specific that they can't find off the shelf.
How do I know what wood finish to choose for a refinished piece?
A skilled finisher will usually show you samples and discuss the original look of the piece as well as your personal preferences. If you're trying to match other furniture in the room, bringing a photo or fabric swatch can help guide the decision.
Does the shop serve interior designers and commercial clients in Buffalo?
Many full-service furniture shops in Buffalo work regularly with interior designers and commercial property managers handling office or hospitality projects. It's worth calling ahead to ask about trade pricing or project-based work.
How long does a combined reupholstery and refinishing job take?
Because both services are being done on the same piece, the timeline can be longer than a simple reupholstery job. Expect a few weeks for most projects, though larger or more complex pieces may take more time. The shop will give you a realistic estimate when they assess the work.
