Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find a reliable upholsterer in Washington DC?
Asking neighbors or interior designers for referrals is often the most reliable method. You can also look at shops that have been operating in the same location for a number of years, since longevity in a competitive city market usually means consistent work.
Can Leon Upholsterers reupholster a piece with an unusual or complex shape?
Experienced upholsterers regularly handle unusual shapes, rounded corners, tufted backs, and carved wooden frames. The more complex the piece, the more important it is to work with someone who has handled similar projects before.
What's the difference between foam replacement and cushion restuffing?
Foam replacement involves cutting new foam to match the cushion dimensions, while restuffing might use fiberfill, down, or a combination of materials to restore volume and comfort. An upholsterer can recommend the right fill based on how firm or soft you want the finished cushion.
Should I reupholster a piece before or after moving to a new home?
Before is often the better choice since the furniture is already being moved anyway and you won't have to worry about damaging fresh fabric during the move. It also means the piece arrives at the new home looking its best.
Can I see fabric samples before committing to a reupholstery project?
Yes, fabric selection is a standard part of the process. Most shops have books of samples in-house and can order additional options if you're looking for something specific. Taking a sample home to see it in your actual lighting is always a good idea.
What happens if the frame turns out to need repairs once the old fabric is removed?
A good upholsterer will let you know right away if they find frame damage, broken joints, or worn-out webbing once the piece is stripped. You'll have the chance to approve any additional repair work before the project continues.
