Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery is the core service here, covering sofas, chairs, ottomans, dining seats, and headboards. The process typically involves stripping old fabric down to the frame, inspecting and repairing the underlying structure, replacing foam or batting as needed, and applying new fabric chosen by the customer. Customers can select from a range of materials including cotton, velvet, linen, and performance fabrics suited for high-traffic use. Custom work on sectionals or built-in banquettes is also common for Philadelphia homeowners undertaking kitchen or dining room renovations.

Service Area

MV Upholstery serves customers throughout Philadelphia and the surrounding neighborhoods. Whether you're in Center City, the Northeast, or nearby suburbs, the shop is accessible to most of the metro area. Residents across Philadelphia County can bring furniture in or inquire about pickup arrangements.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my furniture is worth reupholstering?
If the frame is solid hardwood and the piece holds sentimental or monetary value, reupholstery almost always makes financial sense. A quick inspection by the shop can confirm whether the bones are good enough to justify the work.
Can I supply my own fabric?
Many upholstery shops in Philadelphia will work with customer-supplied fabric, though they may charge a cutting fee. It's worth confirming this upfront and making sure you have enough yardage, since most shops will tell you exactly how much is needed.
How long does a typical reupholstery job take?
A single chair can take as little as a few days, while a full sofa with detailed work may take two to three weeks. Turnaround times vary based on the shop's current workload, so asking for an estimated timeline when you drop off is always a good idea.
What types of furniture can be reupholstered?
Almost any upholstered piece can be redone, including sofas, recliners, dining chairs, window seats, headboards, and ottomans. As long as the frame is structurally sound, a skilled upholsterer can handle most residential furniture.
Do upholstery shops in Philadelphia offer pickup and delivery?
Some do, especially for larger pieces like sectionals that are difficult to transport. It's best to call ahead and confirm, as pickup and delivery availability varies and may involve an additional fee.
How much does furniture reupholstery cost in Philadelphia?
A dining chair seat typically runs between $50 and $150, while a full sofa can range from $600 to $1,500 or more depending on fabric choice and complexity. Getting an in-person or photo-based estimate gives you the most accurate number for your specific piece.
