Services

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery covers the full range of upholstered pieces, from small accent chairs and ottomans to sectional sofas and custom banquette seating. The work starts with removing old fabric and evaluating the frame and spring system underneath. New foam and padding bring cushions back to their original comfort, and the chosen fabric is cut, fitted, and secured by hand. Fabric options span a huge range, from budget-friendly polyester blends to premium linens, velvets, and genuine leather, so there's a price point and aesthetic for most projects.

Service Area

Orb Upholstery is based in Minneapolis and serves customers across Hennepin County and the broader Twin Cities metro area. Neighboring communities like St. Louis Park, Edina, and Richfield are all within easy reach, and customers from Saint Paul often look to Minneapolis shops for specialized reupholstery work.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does chair reupholstery cost in Minneapolis?
A dining chair seat might cost $75 to $200 per chair depending on fabric and labor. A fully upholstered armchair can range from $400 to $1,200 or more based on complexity and material choices.
Can you reupholster mid-century modern furniture without changing its look?
Yes, skilled upholsterers can preserve the original silhouette and design details of mid-century pieces while updating the fabric. Choosing a period-appropriate material like a wool blend or leather can keep the look authentic.
Do I need to remove the furniture legs before bringing it in?
It's often a good idea to remove legs for transport to protect them from scratches. The shop can advise you on the best way to prepare your specific piece for drop-off.
Can upholstery shops in Minneapolis handle large sectionals?
Yes, large sectionals are common projects, though they're also among the more expensive ones. Many sectionals can be broken into individual pieces for transport and reassembled after reupholstering.
Is leather reupholstery more expensive than fabric?
Genuine leather typically costs more per yard than most upholstery fabrics and can be more labor-intensive to work with, so yes, leather projects usually run higher. High-quality faux leather is a more affordable alternative that's improved considerably in recent years.
How do I know if my furniture frame is worth reupholstering?
A solid hardwood frame that doesn't flex or wobble is almost always worth recovering. Particle board or staple-heavy construction is a different story. A quick in-person look from an experienced upholsterer will tell you what you're working with.
