Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery here means giving worn-out chairs, sofas, ottomans, and other upholstered pieces a second life with fresh fabric and new cushion fill. The process typically includes removing the old covering, evaluating the frame and springs, replacing foam or batting as needed, and applying new fabric with precise cuts and tight seams. For salvaged or vintage pieces with unusual shapes, custom fitting is often required. Clients can bring in their own fabric or select from what the shop sources.

Service Area

Pam's Sweet Salvages is based in Saint Paul and draws customers from across the east metro, including Maplewood, Roseville, and South St. Paul. It's also convenient for residents of the Cathedral Hill and Hamline-Midway neighborhoods who are restoring older homes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you reupholster furniture I found at an estate sale or salvage yard?
Absolutely, that's exactly the kind of work a salvage-minded shop is built for. Older pieces often have solid frames that just need new fabric and cushioning to look great again.
What happens if the frame is damaged when you take the old fabric off?
If a crack, loose joint, or broken support is found during the process, a good shop will contact you before proceeding. Minor frame repairs are often handled in-house, while more significant structural work might be referred to a furniture repair specialist.
Can I supply my own fabric for the job?
Most upholstery shops in Saint Paul will work with customer-supplied fabric, though you'll want to confirm the shop's requirements for yardage and material type. They can usually tell you exactly how much you'll need once they've assessed the piece.
Is it worth reupholstering a chair I paid very little for at a salvage shop?
It depends on the frame quality and what the reupholstery will cost versus what a comparable new chair would run. If the frame is solid, a modest chair can become a genuinely beautiful piece for less than you'd expect.
How do I transport a large sofa to the shop?
Some shops offer pickup and delivery, so it's worth asking when you call. If you're transporting it yourself, a cargo van or truck with moving blankets will do the job for most standard-sized pieces.
Can vintage or antique fabrics be matched or sourced for older furniture?
Specialty fabric sourcing is something many upholstery shops can help with, particularly for customers restoring period pieces. Be prepared that authentic or reproduction vintage fabrics may have longer lead times and higher costs.
