Services & Process

Magic Upholstery covers three main areas: furniture reupholstery, furniture repair, and new furniture sales. Reupholstery includes full fabric replacement on sofas, recliners, headboards, and accent chairs, with foam and batting replaced as needed. Furniture repair addresses broken frames, sagging springs, loose joints, and damaged legs, which can extend the life of a piece without a full recover. The furniture store component means customers can also browse ready-made pieces if a repair or reupholster doesn't make financial sense for their item.

Service Area

Magic Upholstery is located in Gretna and serves the west bank communities of Jefferson Parish, including Harvey, Marrero, Westwego, and Terrytown. It's also accessible to customers coming from Algiers on the Orleans Parish side of the river.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Magic Upholstery repair a broken recliner mechanism?
Recliner mechanism repairs are a common furniture fix, involving replacement of the metal reclining hardware or cables that control the footrest. It's worth calling ahead with the brand and model if you know it, since parts availability can affect turnaround time.
What's the difference between furniture repair and reupholstery?
Repair focuses on structural issues like broken frames, loose joints, or faulty springs without changing the fabric. Reupholstery replaces the outer fabric, padding, and sometimes the webbing, giving the piece a visual and comfort refresh on top of any structural work.
Does Magic Upholstery sell new furniture as well as do repairs?
Yes, the shop operates as a furniture store in addition to offering repair and reupholstery services. This can be helpful if an assessment reveals your piece isn't worth the cost of restoration and you'd rather look at new options.
How do I know if my furniture is worth repairing or reupholstering?
A good rule of thumb is that solid wood frames and quality spring construction are worth restoring, while pressed wood or staple-heavy budget furniture usually isn't. An in-person evaluation from a repair shop will give you a clearer answer based on your specific piece.
How long does a typical reupholstery job take in Gretna?
Simple chairs or ottomans can often be turned around in a week, while larger pieces like sectionals or pieces requiring special-order fabric may take two to four weeks. Asking about current workload and material lead times when you drop off is always a smart move.
Can I bring in a piece from Marrero or Harvey for service at the Gretna location?
Absolutely. The Gretna shop is centrally located on the west bank and is a short drive from Harvey, Marrero, and Westwego. Many west bank residents find it more convenient than crossing the river to New Orleans for upholstery work.
