Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery is the core of what this shop does, covering sofas, armchairs, dining chairs, ottomans, and more. The process typically involves stripping the old fabric down to the frame, inspecting and repairing the springs or webbing, replacing foam or batting as needed, and then applying your chosen fabric with clean, tight seams. Customers usually bring fabric samples or choose from the shop's selection. The result is furniture that looks new without the cost of replacing a piece you already love.

Service Area

Montague Upholstering is based in Albany and serves customers throughout the Capital Region. That includes surrounding communities like Colonie, Cohoes, and Watervliet. Residents across Albany County regularly bring pieces in for reupholstery work.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my furniture is worth reupholstering?
A good rule of thumb is to check the frame. If it's solid hardwood and structurally sound, reupholstery almost always makes financial and sentimental sense. Pieces with sentimental value or high original quality are especially worth the investment.
Can I supply my own fabric?
Yes, most upholstery shops in Albany will work with customer-supplied fabric. Just make sure you have enough yardage, since the shop can tell you how much you'll need once they assess the piece. Bringing a little extra is always smart.
How long does furniture reupholstery typically take?
Most residential jobs take anywhere from one to three weeks depending on the complexity and the shop's current schedule. A single dining chair might be done in days, while a large sectional could take longer.
Will the shop repair the frame or springs as part of the job?
Frame and spring repairs are often offered alongside reupholstery, though they may be priced separately. It's worth asking upfront, especially if the piece wobbles or the cushions sag unevenly.
What types of fabric work best for high-traffic furniture?
Performance fabrics, tightly woven synthetics, and treated natural fibers tend to hold up best on sofas and chairs that get daily use. The shop can point you toward options that balance durability with the look you want.
Is reupholstery more affordable than buying new furniture?
It depends on the piece, but for quality furniture it's often comparable in cost and far better in value. You keep a solid frame and get a result that typically outlasts mass-market store furniture.
