Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of furniture does Ray's Upholstery work on?
The shop focuses on furniture reupholstery, which covers most common upholstered pieces including sofas, recliners, armchairs, dining chairs, and ottomans. If you have an unusual piece or something with significant structural damage, it's worth calling (336) 675-6548 to discuss it before making the trip. Most solid-framed furniture is a good candidate for reupholstery.
How do I know if my furniture is worth reupholstering?
The key question is whether the frame is still structurally sound. Solid hardwood frames, quality spring systems, and good construction are signs that a piece is worth the investment. Furniture that's sagging simply because of worn fabric and foam but has a solid frame underneath is almost always worth recovering.
Can I bring my own fabric to Ray's Upholstery?
Many upholstery shops accept customer-supplied fabric. If you have a specific material in mind, contact the shop ahead of time to confirm they'll work with it and to find out how many yards you'll need. Bringing too little fabric is a common mistake that can delay a project.
How long does a typical reupholstery job take in Haw River?
A single chair might be turned around in a week or so, while a larger sofa or a piece requiring structural work could take two to four weeks depending on the shop's current schedule. It's always smart to ask for an estimated completion time when you drop off your furniture so you can plan accordingly.
Is reupholstery in Alamance County less expensive than in larger cities like Greensboro?
Smaller community shops often have lower overhead than urban operations, which can translate into more competitive pricing. That said, the cost depends primarily on the scope of work and fabric choice rather than location alone. Getting quotes from a couple of local shops gives you a realistic picture of what the market looks like.
What's the best way to transport a large sofa to the shop?
For large pieces, removing the legs first can make loading and unloading easier. If you don't have a vehicle large enough, many upholstery shops can recommend local moving services or arrange pickup for an additional fee. Calling ahead to ask about transport options is the easiest first step.
