Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Lazy Life offers furniture reupholstery for residential customers with pieces ranging from single chairs to full living room sets. The work starts with a condition assessment of the frame, springs, and existing cushion materials, followed by removal of the old fabric. New foam and batting are added where needed before the selected fabric is cut, fitted, and finished to a professional standard. Common projects include sofas, accent chairs, club chairs, dining chair seats, and upholstered benches. They aim to return pieces that are both structurally sound and visually refreshed.

Service Area

Lazy Life Upholstery is based in Augusta and serves customers throughout Richmond County. They're a local option for residents across Augusta's neighborhoods, from the south side to the Hill area. People coming from nearby communities like Hephzibah or even from the Aiken area in South Carolina also use Augusta-based upholstery shops for specialized work.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I prepare my furniture before bringing it to an upholstery shop?
Remove any removable cushions and set them aside so the shop can assess them separately. Clear out anything stored inside ottomans or under sofa cushions. You don't need to strip or prep the piece in any other way. The shop handles the disassembly as part of the job.
What is the typical lifespan of new upholstery fabric on a sofa?
A quality upholstery-grade fabric applied to a solid frame should last 10 to 15 years with normal use. Higher rub-count fabrics designed for heavy use can last even longer. The foam and batting underneath typically have a similar lifespan, though heavy daily use can compress cushions faster than occasional use.
Can upholstery shops in Augusta handle large sectional sofas?
Most established shops can handle sectionals, though they're a more complex and labor-intensive job than a standard sofa. The sections typically need to be brought in separately if they detach, and the fabric must be matched across all pieces for a consistent look. Expect higher material and labor costs compared to a standard two or three-seat sofa.
What's the best way to maintain newly reupholstered furniture?
Vacuum upholstered surfaces regularly to prevent dirt and dust from working into the fabric fibers. Address spills immediately by blotting rather than rubbing. Rotating cushions periodically helps even out wear. For fabric-specific care instructions, ask your upholsterer what cleaning products are safe to use on the material they selected.
Is reupholstering furniture more environmentally friendly than buying new?
Generally yes. Reupholstering extends the life of an existing piece, keeping it out of a landfill and avoiding the materials and energy required to manufacture new furniture. The foam and fabric used in the restoration have a much smaller footprint than building an entirely new sofa from scratch. It's also often more economical if the frame is in good condition.
Can I see examples of past work before choosing an upholstery shop?
It's a reasonable thing to ask. Many shops keep photos of completed projects or can point you to online reviews that include customer photos. Seeing before and after examples gives you a sense of the craftsmanship quality and whether the shop can handle the style of piece you're bringing in. Don't hesitate to ask when you call for an estimate.
