Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery is the core service here, which means stripping old fabric down to the frame, repairing or replacing padding and springs, and applying new fabric or leather to your specifications. This process works on sofas, loveseats, armchairs, ottomans, and dining seating. Fabric selection is a big part of the job, with options ranging from durable performance fabrics suited to Maine's active households to elegant upholstery-grade textiles. The shop can also re-stuff cushions that have gone flat over years of use.

Service Area

Portland Furniture primarily serves customers in Portland, Maine and the surrounding Cumberland County communities. Clients from South Portland, Westbrook, Falmouth, and Cape Elizabeth regularly bring pieces to the shop. The central Portland location makes drop-off and pickup convenient for most of the Greater Portland metro area.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to reupholster a sofa in Portland, Maine?
Sofa reupholstery typically runs between $600 and $1,800 depending on the size of the piece, the fabric you choose, and whether the frame or springs need repairs. Higher-end fabrics and more complex tufting or channel work will push the cost toward the higher end. Getting an in-person assessment gives you the most accurate quote.
Is it worth reupholstering old furniture instead of buying new?
For well-built pieces with solid hardwood frames, reupholstery almost always makes more sense than buying comparable new furniture. Older furniture often has better construction than today's mass-market alternatives, and you're keeping a piece that may have sentimental value. If the frame is compromised or warped, that changes the calculation.
How long does furniture reupholstery take?
Most standard pieces like armchairs or loveseats take one to two weeks once work begins. Larger sectionals, heavily tufted pieces, or jobs requiring frame repair can take three to four weeks. It's always smart to ask about current lead times when you drop your piece off.
Can I bring my own fabric to the upholstery shop?
Most shops will work with customer-supplied fabric, though you'll want to confirm this ahead of time. You'll need to calculate yardage accurately, and the shop can tell you exactly how much your piece requires. Keep in mind that if the fabric you provide runs short, it can delay the project.
Do upholstery shops in Portland also repair furniture frames?
Many reupholstery shops handle basic frame repairs as part of the overall job, including re-gluing joints, fixing broken stretchers, or replacing damaged legs. More extensive structural repairs may be referred to a dedicated furniture repair specialist. Always mention any frame damage when you call for your initial quote.
What types of fabric hold up best in a Maine coastal home?
In Maine's climate, performance fabrics with moisture resistance and durability are a smart choice, especially for homes near the water. Sunbrella, indoor-outdoor blends, and tightly woven synthetic fabrics resist humidity and are easier to clean. For purely decorative pieces in controlled indoor environments, wool blends and quality cottons work beautifully.
