Services

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery covers a broad range of work, from recovering a single accent chair to rebuilding the cushions and fabric on a three-piece sectional. The process typically involves removing the existing fabric, assessing the condition of padding and inner support structures, and applying new materials to a clean and properly prepared frame. Fabric selection is a major part of the conversation, since different materials perform very differently depending on how a piece is used. Families with pets or young kids, common in Lakewood households, often prioritize tightly woven or stain-treated fabrics.

Service Area

Ripped Upholstery serves customers in Lakewood, Colorado, and the surrounding west Denver metro area. The shop is accessible to residents from nearby Green Mountain, Bear Creek, and Belmar neighborhoods. Customers from Wheat Ridge, Arvada, and Littleton also find Lakewood a convenient location for quality upholstery work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of furniture can be reupholstered?
Almost any upholstered piece with a solid frame can be reupholstered, including sofas, sectionals, armchairs, dining chairs, ottomans, headboards, and benches. The key factor is frame condition. If the frame is intact and structurally sound, the rest of the piece can typically be rebuilt.
How do I know if my furniture frame is worth saving?
Hardwood frames, especially those made from oak, maple, or walnut, are almost always worth restoring because they're more durable than most modern furniture. A quick way to check is to press on the joints and look for significant wobble or cracking. A skilled upholsterer can usually assess this during an initial consultation.
What's the difference between reupholstery and slipcovers?
Reupholstery involves removing the old fabric and permanently applying new material directly to the furniture's frame and padding. Slipcovers are removable covers that fit over the existing upholstery. Reupholstery gives a cleaner, more tailored look, while slipcovers offer flexibility and easier cleaning.
Can upholstery shops fix broken springs or sagging cushions?
Yes, spring repair and cushion replacement are common parts of a full reupholstery job. If your sofa sags in the middle or a chair feels unstable, those issues are often addressed before new fabric is applied. Replacing foam cores or adding new sinuous springs can make a significant difference in comfort.
What fabric options are best for homes with pets in Lakewood?
For pet owners, tightly woven synthetic fabrics like microfiber, outdoor-grade polyester, or crypton fabric tend to resist scratching and are easier to clean. These materials hold up well in Colorado's dry conditions too. Your upholsterer can show you fabric samples rated for heavy use and help you find something that fits your style.
How should I prepare my furniture before dropping it off?
Clean the piece as best you can and remove any loose cushions or detachable parts. It helps to take a few photos before drop-off so you have a reference for the original look if needed. There's no need to strip the old fabric yourself. That's part of what the shop does.
