Services

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery at this level typically covers sofas, sectionals, armchairs, loveseats, headboards, and dining seating. The process involves stripping existing fabric down to the frame, inspecting and repairing the frame if needed, replacing worn foam or batting, and applying new fabric with proper tensioning and finishing. Fabric selection is part of the service, with options ranging from durable everyday upholstery cloth to higher-end decorative fabrics. Cushion work, including replacing or reshaping foam cores, is often done alongside the fabric replacement since old foam compresses and loses support over time.

Service Area

Nak Furniture and Upholstering serves Salt Lake City and the surrounding communities throughout the Salt Lake Valley. Customers come in from the east bench neighborhoods, the Avenues, and communities like Murray and Taylorsville. The shop's Salt Lake City location puts it within reach of most Wasatch Front residents.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you reupholster antique furniture without damaging its value?
An experienced upholsterer can work with antique pieces carefully, preserving original tacking strips, hand-tied springs, and frame details that give the piece its character. It's worth discussing the piece's history and any restoration goals before work begins so the approach is tailored accordingly.
How do I choose the right fabric for a sofa that gets heavy daily use?
For high-traffic pieces, look for tightly woven fabrics with a high rub count, generally 15,000 rubs or more for residential use. Performance fabrics and microfiber are popular choices for families with kids or pets, and the shop can guide you toward options that balance durability with the look you want.
Is it possible to change the style of a piece when reupholstering it?
Yes, within limits. You can change the fabric color and pattern dramatically, and minor modifications like adding or removing tufting are possible. Major structural changes to the shape or silhouette of a piece are more complex, so ask the upholsterer what's realistic for your specific item.
What happens if the frame of my furniture is damaged?
A good upholsterer will identify frame damage during the assessment phase and discuss repair options with you before proceeding. Fixing a broken frame is often worth it on a quality piece, since the new fabric won't last if the structure underneath is unstable.
How much does it typically cost to reupholster a sofa in Salt Lake City?
Sofa reupholstery in the Salt Lake City area generally ranges from around $800 to $2,500 or more depending on the size, fabric choice, and condition of the frame. Getting an in-person quote is the most reliable way to understand the full cost for your specific piece.
Do you work with interior designers on client projects?
Many independent upholstery shops in Salt Lake City work regularly with interior designers, handling custom fabric installations and tight deadlines for renovation projects. It's worth calling ahead to discuss your project timeline and whether the shop can accommodate designer-sourced fabrics.
