Services

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery is the core offering here, covering everything from dining chairs and ottomans to full sofas and sectionals. The process typically involves stripping old fabric down to the frame, inspecting and repairing springs or webbing as needed, adding new foam or batting, and applying your chosen fabric. Customers usually bring in their own fabric or select from available options in the shop. Wood frame repairs and minor structural fixes are often part of the job before any new fabric goes on.

Service Area

Lance's Upholstery is based in Missoula and serves customers throughout the city and surrounding Missoula County. Clients from nearby communities like Lolo, Clinton, and Bonner regularly make the short drive in for quality reupholstery work.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does furniture reupholstery usually take in Missoula?
Most standard pieces like chairs and sofas take one to three weeks depending on the shop's current workload and fabric availability. More complex projects or antique pieces with detailed work can take longer, so it's worth asking for a timeline estimate upfront.
Is it worth reupholstering old furniture instead of buying new?
If the frame is solid hardwood and the piece has sentimental or quality value, reupholstery almost always makes financial sense. New furniture at a comparable quality level often costs significantly more than a good reupholstery job.
Can I supply my own fabric for the job?
Yes, most upholstery shops will work with customer-supplied fabric, but you'll want to confirm the yardage needed before you purchase. Bring a photo or measurements of the piece so the shop can give you an accurate fabric estimate.
What types of furniture can be reupholstered?
Sofas, armchairs, dining chairs, ottomans, headboards, and even storage benches are all common candidates. As long as the frame is structurally sound, almost any upholstered piece can be refreshed.
Do upholstery shops in Missoula also repair wood frames?
Many do, because it doesn't make sense to put new fabric on a wobbly frame. Ask when you bring the piece in, and a good shop will flag any structural issues before starting the upholstery work.
What fabrics work best for homes in Montana's climate?
Durable woven fabrics, performance velvets, and treated microfibers tend to hold up well in Montana homes that see dry winters and heavy use. If you have pets or kids, ask specifically about stain-resistant and high-rub-count fabrics.
