With a 3.6 rating from 19 reviewers, the business has built experience across furniture reupholstery, refinishing, and repair.

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery at Mumford Restoration covers the full process of removing old fabric, assessing cushion and frame condition, and applying new material selected by the customer. Refinishing services go beyond upholstery into the wood itself, stripping old stain or paint, sanding surfaces, and applying a fresh finish that can match a new look or restore the original. Furniture repair addresses structural issues like broken joints, wobbly legs, and damaged hardware that would otherwise shorten a piece's life. Together, these services make it possible to fully restore a piece rather than just recovering it.

Service Area

Mumford Restoration is based in Raleigh and serves customers throughout Wake County and surrounding areas. Clients come in from Cary, Garner, Wake Forest, and other nearby communities looking for furniture restoration services. If you're in the greater Raleigh metro, getting your piece to the shop is typically straightforward.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Mumford Restoration handle both the wood finish and the fabric on the same piece?
Yes, offering both refinishing and reupholstery under one roof is one of the key advantages here. You can bring in a piece that needs work on the frame and the fabric without having to coordinate with two separate shops.
What does furniture refinishing actually involve?
Refinishing typically means stripping the existing stain, paint, or topcoat down to bare wood, then sanding and applying a new finish. Depending on what you want, that might mean restoring the original look or going in a different direction with a new color or sheen.
How do I know if a piece is worth repairing versus replacing?
A good rule of thumb is to look at the quality of the frame. Solid wood construction, especially in older pieces, usually makes restoration worthwhile. The shop can give you an honest assessment after looking at the piece in person.
Does furniture repair include fixing broken mechanisms like recliner hardware?
Furniture repair can cover a range of structural and mechanical issues, but it depends on the shop's capabilities and the specific mechanism involved. It's worth describing the problem when you call so they can tell you upfront if it's something they handle.
What's the price range for a full restoration that includes both refinishing and reupholstery?
A project that involves both services will naturally cost more than either one alone, since you're paying for two separate skill sets and materials. A ballpark for a fully restored armchair might run $400 to $900 depending on the condition of the piece and your fabric and finish choices.
How should I prepare my furniture before bringing it to a Raleigh upholstery shop?
You don't need to do much beyond removing cushions if they're loose and clearing out any items stored inside the piece. Take photos beforehand if you want a record of the original condition, which can also help during the consultation.
