Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery at this shop covers the full range of upholstered pieces, from everyday sofas to heirloom chairs that need careful handling. The damage restoration side of the business addresses pieces that have suffered water damage, smoke exposure, pet damage, or physical impact. This often involves cleaning, deodorizing, structural repair, and then reupholstering to bring the piece back to usable condition. Combining these two disciplines means the shop can assess a damaged piece holistically and handle every step of the recovery process rather than just the cosmetic finish.

Service Area

Michigan Upholstery & Restoration serves Clarkston and the surrounding northern Oakland County area, including Independence Township, Lake Orion, Waterford, and Pontiac. The shop is also accessible to clients in southern Oakland County who are looking specifically for damage restoration expertise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can water-damaged furniture really be restored, or is it usually a total loss?
It depends on how long the piece was wet and what the frame is made of. Solid wood frames that dried out relatively quickly can often be fully restored, while particleboard frames that have swollen or delaminated are usually not worth saving. A shop with restoration experience can tell you quickly which category your piece falls into.
Do you work with insurance companies on damage restoration claims?
Many restoration-capable upholstery shops are familiar with the insurance documentation process and can provide detailed written estimates that support a claim. It's worth asking directly when you call, since processes vary by shop.
Can pet damage, like claw marks or staining, be fully repaired?
Surface claw damage to fabric is addressed by reupholstering, and staining can be treated before the new fabric goes on. If the padding beneath has been soaked or torn through, that gets replaced as part of the process.
What's the difference between restoration and standard reupholstery?
Standard reupholstery assumes the frame and structure are sound and focuses on replacing fabric and cushioning. Restoration goes deeper, addressing structural damage, contamination, and sometimes wood repair before any fabric work begins.
Are antique or heirloom pieces treated differently than regular furniture?
Yes, pieces with historical or sentimental value require more careful handling, especially during disassembly and structural repair. A good restoration shop will discuss the provenance of the piece and take extra steps to preserve original details where possible.
How do I transport a large damaged sofa to a shop in Clarkston safely?
For pieces that are structurally compromised from damage, it's worth asking the shop if they offer pickup. Moving a weakened frame without proper support can cause additional damage that adds to the repair cost.
