Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

The repair side of the business sets this shop apart from strictly reupholstery-only providers. Structural repairs like fixing broken frames, re-gluing joints, and replacing worn webbing or springs can be handled alongside fabric work, so customers get a fully restored piece rather than just a cosmetic refresh. Reupholstery covers sofas, chairs, benches, headboards, and more. Fabric selection is part of the process, with options ranging from everyday performance fabrics to higher-end textiles for special pieces.

Service Area

Moore's Jay Upholstery & Repair is located in Virginia Beach and serves customers throughout the city, including areas like Kempsville, Great Neck, and Lynnhaven. Clients from neighboring Chesapeake and Norfolk regularly use the shop as well. The Virginia Beach location puts it within easy reach of most of the south Hampton Roads area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you repair a broken sofa frame and reupholster it at the same time?
Yes, handling both at once is actually the most practical approach. Reupholstering over a damaged frame means the piece won't hold up long, so addressing structural issues first ensures the fabric work lasts. The shop can assess the frame condition when you bring the piece in and include any needed repairs in the estimate.
What kinds of furniture does the shop work on?
Most upholstered residential furniture is fair game, including sofas, loveseats, sectionals, armchairs, dining chairs, ottomans, and headboards. Benches, window seats, and custom pieces can also be reupholstered. If you're unsure whether a specific item qualifies, a quick call to describe it will get you a fast answer.
How much does furniture reupholstery typically cost in Virginia Beach?
Pricing varies a lot based on the size of the piece, the complexity of the job, and the fabric you choose. A single armchair might run a few hundred dollars while a large sofa can cost significantly more, especially with premium fabric. Getting an in-person estimate is the most reliable way to understand what your specific piece will cost.
Do you work with antique or vintage furniture?
Many upholstery shops, including those that handle repair work, are experienced with older furniture and understand the care those pieces require. Antique frames often need special attention to avoid damage during disassembly and reupholstery. It's a good idea to mention that a piece is antique when you call so the shop can plan accordingly.
How do I transport large furniture to the shop?
Most customers use a truck, SUV, or cargo van for large pieces, or they ask a friend to help with the move. Some shops offer pickup and delivery for an additional fee, so it's worth asking when you call. Wrapping pieces in moving blankets helps prevent scratches during transport.
Will the repaired and reupholstered furniture look like new?
A skilled reupholsterer can make furniture look dramatically better, and in many cases the result is indistinguishable from a new piece. The quality of the fabric you choose and the condition of the underlying frame both affect the final appearance. Frame repairs and foam replacement done at the same time as reupholstery give the best overall result.
