Services

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

The shop focuses on furniture reupholstery, covering everything from simple dining chair seats to full sofa rebuilds. A typical job involves removing the old fabric, inspecting the frame and springs, replacing any worn-out padding, and applying new material in the customer's chosen fabric. Vermont homes often have older, well-built furniture that's worth saving, and skilled reupholstery work can restore both the function and appearance of those pieces. Cushion replacement is also a common standalone service for pieces where the frame is still in good shape.

Service Area

Recovery Room serves Sheffield and the surrounding Orleans County area in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom. Customers from Barton, Glover, and Lyndonville are within reasonable driving distance. The shop is a practical local option for a region where upholstery shops aren't found on every corner.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Recovery Room handle antique furniture reupholstery?
Many local Vermont upholstery shops have experience with older and antique pieces, and it's worth calling ahead to describe what you have. Antique furniture often requires careful handling of the frame and attention to period-appropriate fabric choices.
How do I transport a large sofa to the shop?
For smaller pieces like chairs and ottomans, most customers handle transport themselves. For larger sofas or sectionals, it's worth asking the shop if they offer pickup service or can recommend a local hauler who works with furniture.
Can I get just the cushions replaced without full reupholstery?
Yes, cushion replacement is often available as a standalone service. If the fabric on your furniture is still in decent shape but the seat cushions have flattened out, replacing just the foam insert can make a big difference at a lower cost.
What fabric types work best for Vermont homes?
Durable, tightly woven fabrics tend to perform well in Vermont's variable climate. Microfiber, canvas-weight cottons, and wool blends are popular choices. If you have pets, the shop can point you toward fabrics that are easier to clean and more resistant to wear.
How much does chair reupholstery typically cost?
Pricing varies based on the size and complexity of the piece, fabric choice, and whether structural repairs are needed. A basic dining chair seat might cost relatively little, while a fully upholstered armchair will be a more involved job. Getting an in-person or photo-based quote gives you the most accurate number.
How do I choose the right fabric color and pattern?
It helps to bring a photo of the room where the furniture will live so the upholsterer can suggest options that will coordinate well. Many shops have fabric samples you can take home to compare against your existing decor before committing.
