About Leonel's Upholstery

Leonel's Upholstery is based in Kenner, Louisiana, right near Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport and the communities that border Jefferson Parish's busiest commercial corridor. With a 3.8-star rating from 8 customers, the shop has earned a modest but solid reputation for reupholstery work in a city where people are practical about getting things done. Kenner sits between Metairie and the airport, making it a convenient stop for residents of the broader east Jefferson area. It's the kind of neighborhood shop where you're likely talking to the person actually doing the work.

Services

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Leonel's core offering is furniture reupholstery, which covers the full range of residential seating: sofas, sectionals, accent chairs, recliners, dining chairs, and headboards. The process starts with removing old fabric and evaluating what's underneath, since cushion foam, webbing, and spring systems often need attention at the same time. New fabric is applied over rebuilt padding, and finishing details like welt cord, buttons, and tufting are handled based on the original design of the piece. Turnaround times vary based on piece complexity and fabric availability, so it's worth discussing timeline expectations upfront.

Service Area

Leonel's Upholstery serves Kenner and the surrounding east Jefferson Parish area, including Metairie, Harahan, and River Ridge. The shop's location near Veterans Memorial Boulevard makes it accessible from multiple directions across the suburban New Orleans corridor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Leonel's Upholstery work on recliners?
Recliners are a common reupholstery request, and they require careful disassembly to access all fabric panels without damaging the reclining mechanism. A shop experienced with them will reassemble and test the mechanism after the fabric work is complete.
What's a fair price for reupholstering a dining chair in Kenner?
Simple drop-in seat dining chair cushions can run as little as $40 to $80 per chair for a basic fabric swap. Fully upholstered dining chairs with fabric on the back and sides cost more, typically $100 to $250 per chair depending on fabric and construction.
Can I supply my own fabric for the reupholstery job?
Many shops will work with customer-supplied fabric, though some charge a cutting or handling fee since they can't guarantee the quality of material they didn't source. It's worth asking upfront so there are no surprises at drop-off.
How do I know how much fabric I need for my project?
The upholsterer will calculate yardage based on the piece's dimensions and whether the fabric has a repeating pattern that needs to be matched across seams. Patterned fabrics always require more yardage than solid colors, so bring a sample or photo of your fabric if you're asking for an estimate over the phone.
Is Kenner a convenient location for Metairie residents to use?
Yes, Kenner and Metairie share a border along Veterans Memorial Boulevard, and the drive between them is typically just a few minutes. For residents of east Jefferson Parish, Leonel's location is one of the more accessible upholstery shops in the area.
Can a reupholstery shop fix sagging sofa cushions without replacing all the fabric?
Absolutely. Cushion foam replacement is one of the most common standalone services, where the cover is removed, new high-density foam is cut to size, and the cover is put back without touching the sofa's main fabric. It's a cost-effective way to restore comfort when the fabric itself is still in good shape.
