Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery is a detailed process that starts with removing all existing fabric, webbing, and padding to get a clear look at the frame's condition. New foam, batting, or springs are added as needed before the chosen fabric is carefully cut, fitted, and secured. Customers typically select from a range of upholstery fabrics, including performance textiles, velvets, linens, and vinyl options depending on the piece and its intended use. The result is a chair, sofa, or sectional that looks and feels like new without the cost of replacing it entirely.

Service Area

O'dell's Upholstery serves Virginia Beach and the surrounding Hampton Roads communities. Customers from neighboring cities like Chesapeake, Norfolk, and Virginia Beach's more rural inland areas regularly travel to the shop for quality reupholstery work, since dedicated specialists at this level aren't found on every corner.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it worth reupholstering an old sofa, or should I just buy a new one?
If the frame is solid hardwood and the piece has good bones, reupholstery often costs less than replacing it with furniture of comparable quality. Solid wood frame sofas in particular are worth restoring because most budget-friendly new furniture uses less durable materials.
How do I choose the right fabric for a high-traffic living room?
Performance fabrics rated for high rub counts are the practical choice for busy households, especially those with kids or pets. A specialist can show you options that balance durability with the look you want, including fabrics treated for stain resistance.
Can you reupholster an antique chair without damaging its original structure?
Experienced upholsterers know how to work around antique joinery and original details that shouldn't be altered. It's worth mentioning the piece's age and any known history upfront so the shop can plan accordingly.
Do you offer fabric samples I can take home before deciding?
Most upholstery shops provide sample swatches so you can see how a fabric looks in your home's lighting and alongside your existing decor. This step is especially helpful when choosing between similar colors or textures.
How much does furniture reupholstery typically cost in Virginia Beach?
Pricing depends heavily on the size of the piece, the fabric chosen, and the condition of the frame, but a dining chair might run a few hundred dollars while a full sofa can range from several hundred to over a thousand. Getting an in-person estimate gives you the clearest picture.
Can you reupholster outdoor furniture intended for a deck or patio?
Yes, outdoor furniture reupholstery uses solution-dyed acrylic fabrics or marine-grade materials that resist fading, moisture, and mildew. In a coastal environment like Virginia Beach, using the right outdoor fabric makes a significant difference in how long the work lasts.
