Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my furniture is worth reupholstering?
The general rule is to check the frame first. If the wood or metal frame is solid and the piece has good bones, reupholstery almost always makes financial and practical sense compared to buying new.
Can I supply my own fabric for the project?
Yes, most upholstery shops in Cleveland accept customer-supplied fabric. Just confirm the yardage requirements with the shop beforehand so you don't end up short mid-project.
How long does a typical reupholstery project take?
Simple chairs can sometimes be turned around in under a week, while larger sofas or tufted pieces often take two to four weeks. Turnaround depends on the shop's current workload and fabric availability.
What types of fabric work best for family rooms with kids and pets?
Performance fabrics like Crypton or Sunbrella blends are popular choices because they resist stains, moisture, and heavy wear. A good upholstery shop can show you options that balance durability with the look you want.
Do upholstery shops offer pickup and delivery in Cleveland?
Some shops do offer this service, though it often comes with an added fee. It's worth asking when you call, especially for large or heavy pieces that are difficult to transport.
Is reupholstering a sofa cheaper than buying a new one?
It depends on the sofa and the fabric chosen, but for quality or sentimental pieces, reupholstery often delivers better long-term value. A well-made frame that's been reupholstered can outlast most mid-range retail sofas.
