Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to reupholster a sofa in Columbus?
Sofa reupholstery in Columbus typically runs between $600 and $1,500 or more depending on size, fabric choice, and the condition of the frame. Getting an in-person quote is the most reliable way to understand total costs for your specific piece.
Is it worth reupholstering an old sofa instead of buying new?
It depends on the quality of the frame. Older sofas with solid hardwood frames and good joinery are often worth restoring because they're more durable than many new mass-market pieces. A reputable upholstery shop can tell you quickly whether the frame justifies the investment.
Can you replace just the cushion foam without reupholstering?
Yes, cushion replacement is a common standalone service. If the fabric is still in good shape but the cushions have gone flat or lumpy, replacing the foam cores alone can make a significant difference in comfort and appearance.
Do I need to supply my own fabric?
You don't have to. Most upholstery shops carry fabric samples or can order from supplier catalogs, and they'll help you choose something appropriate for the piece and its use. If you have a specific fabric in mind, many shops will work with customer-supplied material.
What's the difference between upholstery fabric grades, and does it matter?
Fabric grades typically refer to cost tiers set by suppliers, which reflect factors like fiber content, construction, and pattern complexity. Higher grades aren't always more durable, so it's worth asking your upholsterer about rub count and wear ratings for any fabric you're considering.
Can antique or fragile furniture be reupholstered without damage to the wood?
Yes, experienced upholsterers work carefully around original finishes and carved details. It helps to mention upfront that a piece has sentimental or collector value so the shop can take extra precautions during the strip and rebuild process.
