Services

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Ortega's Upholstery focuses on furniture reupholstery, tackling sofas, sectionals, dining chairs, club chairs, and upholstered beds. Each project starts with removing the existing fabric and inspecting what's underneath, since worn-out cushion foam and broken springs are just as important to address as tired fabric. Fabric selection is a collaborative part of the process, with customers choosing from various options in terms of texture, pattern, durability, and price point. The shop rebuilds each piece carefully, ensuring the finished result is tight, even, and durable enough to hold up to daily use in a South Florida home.

Service Area

Ortega's Upholstery serves Miami and the surrounding Miami-Dade County area. Clients from neighborhoods like Little Havana, Coral Way, South Miami, and beyond come to the shop for their reupholstery needs. If you're in the greater Miami area and need a piece restored, they're worth a call.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right fabric for reupholstering a sofa?
Think about how the sofa gets used. Homes with kids or pets need tightly woven, stain-resistant fabrics like performance velvet, microfiber, or solution-dyed acrylic. If it's a formal living room piece that doesn't see heavy daily use, you have more options, including linen blends and delicate textures. Your upholsterer can help you narrow down choices based on durability, cost, and how the color will look in your space.
Can I reupholster just the cushions without doing the whole sofa?
Yes, cushion-only reupholstery is a common and cost-effective option if the body of the sofa is still in good shape. The shop recovers just the seat and back cushions while leaving the sofa frame as is. Keep in mind that finding a fabric that closely matches the existing sofa can be tricky, so many clients opt to do the whole piece for a cohesive look.
What happens to the old fabric and padding when furniture is reupholstered?
The shop strips the old fabric and foam during the process, and that material is typically disposed of by the upholsterer. If there's anything you want saved, like a sentimental fabric, mention it when you drop off the piece. Otherwise, you don't need to worry about it since the shop handles disposal as part of the job.
Can upholstery shops fix furniture that has structural damage, like broken legs or loose joints?
Many upholstery shops can handle basic frame repairs like tightening loose joints, reattaching legs, or reinforcing weak areas before the reupholstery work begins. More complex structural repairs may require a furniture repair specialist, but it's always worth asking since some shops handle both. Catching frame issues before reupholstering is important because you don't want to put new fabric on an unstable piece.
How often should upholstered furniture be replaced or restored?
Quality upholstered furniture with a solid frame can last 15 to 25 years or more with proper care, especially if you reupholster it once or twice over that lifespan. Budget furniture tends to wear out faster because the frames aren't as durable. If your piece wobbles, sags significantly, or the frame is damaged, reupholstering may not make financial sense, but a shop can help you make that call.
Is it possible to change the style or shape of furniture during reupholstery?
You can make some modifications during reupholstery, like changing cushion firmness, adding tufting, or altering the padding profile for a more modern look. Major structural changes to the shape of a piece require carpentry work beyond typical upholstery. Talk through any changes you want during your initial consultation so the shop can let you know what's feasible.
