Services

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery is the primary service, covering everything from living room sofas and recliners to boat cushions and outdoor seating common in the Lake Martin area. The work involves assessing the existing frame, removing old material, repairing or replacing foam and padding, and applying new fabric that suits the intended use of the piece. For lake cabin furniture, fabric selection is especially important since moisture-resistant and fade-resistant materials will dramatically extend the life of the work. The shop handles both small accent pieces and larger sectional or sectional-style jobs.

Service Area

Professional Upholstery serves Eclectic and the broader Elmore County area, including communities around Lake Martin such as Dadeville, Alexander City, and Wetumpka. Customers from the Montgomery metro area also make the trip for work on lake cabin furniture and specialty pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of fabric works best for lake cabin furniture in Alabama?
Performance fabrics like Sunbrella or solution-dyed acrylics are excellent choices for lake homes because they resist moisture, mold, and UV fading. These materials cost more upfront but save money over time since they don't need to be replaced as frequently as standard upholstery fabric.
Can you reupholster outdoor or patio furniture?
Yes, outdoor cushions and patio furniture can be reupholstered using weather-resistant fabrics designed for exterior use. It's usually much more cost-effective than buying new outdoor furniture, especially for quality frames that are otherwise in good shape.
How many yards of fabric do I need for a standard sofa?
Most standard three-cushion sofas require between 12 and 18 yards of fabric, depending on the style, cushion count, and whether the fabric has a pattern that needs to be matched. Your upholsterer can give you an exact yardage estimate after measuring the piece.
Does humidity in Alabama affect upholstered furniture?
It can, especially in lake homes or spaces without consistent climate control. Moisture can cause foam to break down faster and encourage mildew growth in certain fabrics. Choosing the right foam density and moisture-resistant fabric when reupholstering helps prevent these issues.
Can a recliner be reupholstered without losing its function?
Absolutely. Recliners are reupholstered regularly, and a skilled upholsterer knows how to work around the mechanical components. The reclining mechanism stays intact and functional throughout the process.
Is it possible to change the style or shape of a piece during reupholstery?
Minor style changes are possible, like adding or removing button tufting or changing cushion firmness by swapping foam density. Major structural reshaping is more complex and may not always be practical, so it's worth discussing your vision with the upholsterer before committing.
