Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery here covers everything from stripping old fabric down to the frame and replacing worn padding to selecting new material that suits your space and lifestyle. Craftspeople assess the structural integrity of each piece before starting, so you know whether a frame needs reinforcing or if it's ready for new fabric. Fabric selection is part of the process, with options ranging from durable performance textiles suited to high-traffic living rooms to elegant wovens for accent chairs. Cushion replacement, including refilling or replacing foam cores, is also commonly handled during a full reupholstery job.

Service Area

ReLiv Creation and Restoration serves customers throughout Reno and the broader Washoe County area. Clients from Sparks, Sun Valley, and nearby communities regularly bring pieces in for restoration work. The shop's central Nevada location also makes it accessible to customers coming in from smaller surrounding towns.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my furniture is worth reupholstering instead of replacing?
If the frame is solid wood and structurally sound, reupholstery almost always makes more financial and environmental sense than buying new. A good rule of thumb is that if the piece has sentimental value or quality construction, restoration will give you far more value per dollar than a comparable retail replacement.
Can I bring my own fabric to the shop?
Most upholstery shops in Reno will work with customer-supplied fabric, though they may charge a cutting or handling fee. It's worth confirming yardage requirements before you purchase, since buying too little is a common mistake that can delay your project.
How long does a typical furniture reupholstery project take?
A standard sofa or armchair typically takes one to three weeks depending on the shop's current schedule and the complexity of the piece. Custom detailing, tufting, or hard-to-source fabric can extend that timeline, so it's best to ask upfront.
Do upholstery shops in Reno handle antique or vintage pieces?
Many local shops are comfortable working on antique furniture, though they'll want to inspect the frame and any decorative elements before quoting. Older pieces often require more careful disassembly and may need frame repairs before new fabric goes on.
What fabrics work best in Reno's dry, sunny climate?
Solution-dyed acrylics and high-performance synthetic blends resist UV fading better than natural fibers, making them a smart choice for rooms with lots of direct sunlight. Microfiber and tightly woven polyester blends also hold up well in low-humidity environments where static and cracking can be issues.
Is it possible to change the style of a piece during reupholstery?
Yes, reupholstery is a great opportunity to update a piece's look entirely, from changing button tufting to a smooth finish or adding contrast welting for a more contemporary feel. Discuss your vision with the shop early so they can advise on what's structurally feasible for your specific piece.
