Services

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery is the core service here, which means stripping old fabric down to the frame, repairing or replacing the underlying padding and springs, then wrapping everything in your chosen material. Customers can bring in dining chairs, sofas, loveseats, ottomans, or accent pieces. Fabric selection is part of the process, with options ranging from durable wovens to velvets and patterned textiles. If a frame is cracked or a cushion has lost its shape, those repairs are typically handled before the new fabric goes on.

Service Area

Michael's Furniture Restoration is based in Topsham and serves customers throughout Sagadahoc and Cumberland counties. Nearby communities like Brunswick, Bath, and Bowdoinham are all reasonable distances for drop-off. Customers from the greater Portland area also make the trip for quality local work.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does furniture reupholstery take in Topsham?
Most reupholstery projects take anywhere from one to four weeks depending on the complexity of the piece and how busy the shop is. A simple dining chair might be turned around faster than a large sectional or a piece with significant frame repairs needed.
Is it worth reupholstering an old sofa instead of buying a new one?
It often is, especially if the frame is solid wood and well-built. Older furniture was frequently made with better materials than what's mass-produced today, so reupholstering can give you a higher-quality result than buying something new at a similar price point.
Do I need to bring fabric, or does the shop supply it?
Most upholstery shops in the Topsham area carry fabric samples and can order from a range of suppliers, so you don't need to source it yourself. That said, if you've already found a fabric you love, many shops are happy to work with customer-supplied material.
Can you reupholster a chair that has a broken frame?
Yes, frame repairs are typically done before the new fabric is applied. It's actually the right time to fix structural issues since everything is already being disassembled. Ask the shop to assess the frame during your initial quote visit.
How do I get a quote for reupholstery work?
The most accurate way is to bring the piece in or send clear photos showing all sides plus any damaged areas. Quotes over the phone are possible for simple items, but complex or large pieces really need to be seen in person to give you a fair estimate.
What types of fabric hold up best for everyday use?
Performance fabrics, tightly woven textiles like canvas or twill, and genuine leather are all strong choices for high-traffic pieces. The shop can walk you through options based on how the furniture will be used, whether it's a formal sitting room or a family living space.
