Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my furniture frame is worth reupholstering?
The best test is whether the frame is solid wood and still structurally sound. If the joints are tight and there's no serious damage to the frame itself, reupholstering almost always makes financial sense compared to buying a new piece of comparable quality.
What's the difference between reupholstering and slipcovers?
Slipcovers are removable fabric covers that fit over existing upholstery, while reupholstering replaces the fabric entirely and addresses the padding underneath. Reupholstery is more permanent, looks cleaner, and also gives you the chance to fix cushions that have gone flat.
Can Master Craft Upholstering handle antique or heirloom furniture?
Shops experienced in furniture reupholstery can usually handle antique pieces with care, working around original details that give the piece its character. It's worth discussing the specific item in advance so they can let you know if any special techniques are needed.
How much fabric will I need for a sofa reupholstery project?
A standard three-cushion sofa typically requires between 12 and 20 yards of fabric depending on the design and whether the fabric has a pattern that needs matching. The upholsterer can give you an exact yardage estimate once they've seen the piece.
Are there fabric options that are good for homes with allergies?
Yes, tightly woven synthetic fabrics tend to trap fewer allergens than loosely woven natural textiles. Performance fabrics treated for stain and moisture resistance are also easier to clean, which helps keep allergens from building up over time.
Can I reupholster outdoor furniture, or is that a different type of work?
Outdoor furniture can be reupholstered using weather-resistant fabrics like solution-dyed acrylic or marine-grade vinyl. These materials are designed to handle moisture, UV exposure, and temperature changes that would quickly damage indoor upholstery fabrics.
