Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery is the core service here, covering everything from stripping old fabric down to the frame and rebuilding the piece with fresh padding and new material. Technicians typically inspect the frame and springs before any fabric work begins, replacing worn webbing or broken coils as needed. Customers can choose from a wide selection of upholstery fabrics, ranging from durable performance textiles to classic velvets and leathers. Cushion replacement is also common, addressing sagging or compressed foam that makes otherwise solid furniture uncomfortable.

Service Area

Mid-Metro Upholstery Workroom serves Milwaukee and the surrounding metro area. Customers from nearby neighborhoods like Bay View, Wauwatosa, and the east side regularly bring pieces in for work. The central Milwaukee location makes drop-off convenient for most of the city.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does furniture reupholstery take in Milwaukee?
Most standard pieces like sofas or armchairs take one to three weeks, depending on the shop's current schedule and the complexity of the work. If your piece has intricate tufting or requires structural repairs, plan for the longer end of that range.
Is it worth reupholstering an old sofa instead of buying a new one?
It depends on the frame quality. A solid hardwood frame from a well-made older piece is often worth restoring since new furniture at a comparable build quality can cost significantly more. If the frame is flimsy or damaged beyond repair, replacement might make more sense.
Can I bring my own fabric to an upholstery shop?
Many shops accept customer-supplied fabric, though some charge a handling fee or prefer to source materials themselves to ensure quality. Ask ahead of time and confirm how much yardage you'll need for your specific piece.
How do I get an accurate quote for reupholstery?
Bringing the piece in person gives the most accurate quote since the shop can check the frame, count the cushions, and measure the fabric requirements directly. Photos work for a ballpark estimate but won't account for hidden repairs.
What types of fabric work best for a sofa with kids and pets?
Performance fabrics made from solution-dyed acrylic or tightly woven synthetic blends hold up well to heavy use and are easier to clean. Crypton and similar stain-resistant textiles are popular choices for family households.
Do Milwaukee upholstery shops offer pickup and delivery?
Some do, especially for large sectionals or pieces that are difficult to transport. It's best to call ahead and ask since this service isn't universal and may come with an additional fee based on distance.
