Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery is the core service, and working with an owner-operator team means each piece gets direct attention rather than being passed through layers of staff. Sofas, armchairs, dining chairs, ottomans, and bedroom furniture are all typical candidates. The work involves evaluating the frame, replacing worn foam and batting, and applying new fabric with the kind of detailed finishing that defines a quality job. Customers often bring in pieces with sentimental value, and a personal shop tends to treat those with the care they deserve.

Service Area

McKim Julie & Gary is based in Laramie and serves customers throughout Albany County and the surrounding region. Clients from the University of Wyoming area and outlying communities along the Highway 30 and I-80 corridors regularly make the trip to Laramie for quality upholstery work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes working with an owner-operated shop different from a larger upholstery company?
With an owner-operated shop, you're usually talking directly to the person doing the work. That means fewer miscommunications about what you want and more accountability for the finished product. Small shops also tend to take pride in their community reputation, which gives you added assurance.
Can McKim Julie & Gary work on antique or vintage furniture pieces?
Antique and vintage furniture often requires more careful handling than modern pieces, particularly around fragile joinery and period-specific materials. A hands-on shop is well-suited for this kind of work, but be upfront about the piece's age and value when you call.
How do I get an accurate quote before committing to reupholstery?
The most reliable way is to bring the piece in or send detailed photos so the shop can assess the frame condition and estimate material requirements. Quotes given without seeing the piece are always approximate.
Is it possible to change the style of a piece during reupholstery, like adding tufting or button details?
Yes, reupholstery is a good opportunity to update the style of a piece, not just restore it. Tufting, welting, nailhead trim, and other decorative details can often be added or changed depending on the piece's structure. Ask when you call to see what's feasible.
How should I care for newly reupholstered furniture to make it last?
Regular vacuuming removes dust and debris that can wear down fabric fibers over time. For spills, blot immediately rather than rubbing, and use a cleaner appropriate for your specific fabric type. Keeping upholstered pieces out of direct sunlight also slows fading significantly.
Do you work on both traditional and modern style furniture?
Most upholstery shops work across styles, from classic rolled-arm sofas to clean-lined modern sectionals. The structural approach varies, but experienced upholsterers are comfortable with both. Describing your piece's style when you call helps the shop prepare.
