Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery is the focus at L M Upholstery, covering the full range of residential seating from dining room chairs to sectional sofas. The work generally starts with removing old fabric and evaluating whether foam, springs, or webbing need attention before new material goes on. Fabric selection plays a big role in the final outcome, and a local shop can walk you through which materials will hold up in a busy household versus a formal sitting room. Projects can range from a single dining chair needing a new seat pad to a complete living room set requiring full fabric replacement.

Service Area

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it typically cost to reupholster a dining chair in the Detroit area?
Dining chair reupholstery in Metro Detroit usually runs between $50 and $150 per chair depending on the style and fabric. Drop-seat chairs are on the lower end, while fully upholstered chairs with arms cost more.
Can L M Upholstery work with vintage furniture from older Detroit-area homes?
Older American-made furniture with solid hardwood frames is some of the best material an upholsterer can work with. Shops in the Eastpointe area regularly handle mid-century and earlier pieces that just need fresh fabric and foam to look incredible again.
What's the difference between reupholstering and slipcovers?
Slipcovers are removable fabric covers that fit over existing upholstery, while reupholstering means replacing the fabric permanently as part of the furniture itself. Reupholstery gives a cleaner, more tailored look but requires more time and skill.
How do I transport a large sofa to an upholstery shop?
A truck, SUV, or cargo van works best for most sofas. Some upholstery shops offer pickup and delivery for an extra fee, so it's worth asking when you call (586) 445-8260 whether that's an option.
Will my reupholstered furniture look exactly like it did originally?
It depends on your goal. If you want to match the original look, bring in photos and the upholsterer will try to source similar fabric and replicate the pattern. Many clients use the opportunity to update the style while keeping the same frame.
How do I choose the right fabric for high-traffic furniture?
Fabrics with a high double-rub count, generally 15,000 or above, are rated for heavy residential use. Microfiber, performance velvet, and solution-dyed acrylic are popular choices because they're both attractive and practical for everyday use.
