Frequently Asked Questions

How long does furniture reupholstery typically take in Mount Pleasant?
Most standard pieces like armchairs or sofas take one to three weeks depending on the shop's current workload and whether any structural repairs are needed first. If you're choosing a custom or specialty fabric that needs to be ordered, add another week or two to that timeline.
Is it worth reupholstering an old sofa rather than buying a new one?
It often is, especially if the frame is solid hardwood and the piece has sentimental value or a quality build that newer furniture doesn't match. A good rule of thumb is that if reupholstery costs less than half the price of a comparable new sofa, and the frame is structurally sound, it's usually worth it.
Can Nesbitt Upholstery repair a broken furniture frame, not just the fabric?
Yes, furniture repair services typically include structural work like regluing joints, replacing broken legs, and reinforcing seat bases, not just replacing fabric. In many cases, addressing the frame is a required first step before any new upholstery can be applied.
Do I need to remove the cushions before bringing in my furniture?
You don't need to do anything special before your appointment. The shop will assess the entire piece as-is and determine what needs to come apart and in what order. Bringing it in as you'd normally use it gives the upholsterer a clear picture of wear patterns and problem areas.
What fabric types hold up best in South Carolina's coastal climate?
Performance fabrics treated for moisture and UV resistance tend to hold up well in humid, coastal environments like Mount Pleasant. Outdoor-grade fabrics from brands like Sunbrella work indoors too and resist mildew, which is a real concern in this part of South Carolina.
Can I bring in a piece I bought at the shop to have it reupholstered later?
Absolutely, and shops that sell furniture alongside repair services often keep records of pieces they've sold, which can simplify future work. Even if time has passed, a quick visit to discuss the piece is all it takes to get a quote for new fabric or repairs.
