About M & H Upholstery

M & H Upholstery operates out of Richmond, Virginia, a city with a deep architectural history and a strong market for quality home furnishings. Richmond homeowners, interior designers, and property managers regularly seek out skilled upholsterers to restore or refresh furniture that would cost far more to replace. The shop focuses exclusively on furniture reupholstery, which means their attention and expertise stays concentrated on residential and commercial pieces rather than being split across multiple trades. That focused approach often shows in the finished product.

Furniture reupholstery at M & H covers the full scope of residential and commercial pieces, from dining chairs and settees to large sectionals and office seating.

If you're within a reasonable drive of the city, it's worth reaching out to discuss your furniture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can M & H reupholster antique furniture without damaging it?
Experienced upholsterers know how to work with older frames, including identifying joints that need reinforcement before new fabric goes on. Antique restoration requires a careful hand, and the shop will assess the piece before committing to a process. Be upfront about the age and condition of the item when you call.
Do I need to supply my own fabric?
You can bring your own fabric or choose from options the shop has available or can source. If you're supplying fabric, ask about the yardage requirement before purchasing. The shop can calculate how much you'll need based on the piece's dimensions and the fabric pattern repeat.
What's the difference between reupholstering and slipcovers?
Reupholstery involves removing the old fabric and applying new material directly to the frame for a permanent, tailored fit. Slipcovers are removable covers that fit over existing upholstery. Reupholstery generally looks cleaner and lasts longer, while slipcovers offer flexibility if you want to switch looks seasonally.
How do I choose the right fabric for a piece that gets heavy daily use?
For high-traffic pieces, look for fabrics with a high rub count, ideally above 30,000 double rubs for residential use and 100,000 for commercial. Performance fabrics made with solution-dyed acrylic or tight weaves hold up well and clean easily. The shop can recommend options based on your specific use case.
Is pickup and delivery available for large pieces?
It's worth asking directly, as some shops offer pickup and delivery for oversized furniture. For large sofas or sectionals, that service can save significant hassle. Call M & H at (804) 233-6005 to ask about logistics for your specific piece.
Can dining chair seats be reupholstered without redoing the whole chair?
Absolutely. Drop-in seat cushions are one of the most common and straightforward upholstery projects. If the frame is in good shape, you only need to replace the fabric and foam on the seat pad itself. Doing a full set of dining chairs at once is efficient and keeps the look consistent.
