That growth means plenty of homeowners looking to update older furniture or restore pieces that moved with them from previous homes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best fabric for furniture with dogs or cats in Lexington, SC?
Tightly woven fabrics like microfiber, canvas, or outdoor-grade upholstery materials tend to hold up best with pets. They resist snags from claws and are easier to clean than loosely woven or textured fabrics.
Can you reupholster a recliner?
Yes, recliners can be reupholstered, though they're more labor-intensive than standard chairs because of the mechanical components. The frame and mechanism are inspected during the process, and any worn parts can often be addressed at the same time.
How do I know if my furniture frame is worth reupholstering?
A solid hardwood frame that doesn't wobble or creak is generally worth the investment. If the frame is particleboard, stapled together, or showing signs of structural failure, the cost of repair plus reupholstery may not be worth it.
Do upholstery shops in Lexington also replace cushion foam?
Yes, cushion replacement is a standard part of most reupholstery jobs. Foam has a lifespan of roughly 10 to 15 years before it begins to break down significantly, and fresh foam makes a dramatic difference in comfort.
How many yards of fabric does a sofa typically need?
A standard three-cushion sofa usually requires 12 to 18 yards of fabric depending on the size, design, and whether you're using a patterned material that requires matching. Your upholsterer will give you a precise estimate based on your specific piece.
Can I get just one chair reupholstered to match an existing set?
Absolutely, single pieces are common jobs for upholstery shops. The challenge is finding a fabric that closely matches your existing furniture if you're trying to blend it in, so bringing a cushion or fabric sample to the shop helps.
