Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Robert's handles furniture reupholstery, which covers the full process of stripping a piece to its frame and rebuilding it with new interior materials and a fresh fabric cover. This includes sofas, chairs, ottomans, and any upholstered furniture with a solid frame worth saving. The shop works through the structural components first, checking springs, webbing, and padding condition before doing any fabric work. Customers can bring their own fabric or discuss options with the shop, and the finished result is a piece that's been rebuilt correctly rather than just covered over.

Service Area

Robert's Uphlstrng is based in Buffalo and serves customers across the city and surrounding Erie County communities. Whether you're in South Buffalo, the East Side, or coming in from the suburbs, the shop is centrally located in western New York's largest city.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I prepare my furniture before bringing it to an upholstery shop?
You don't need to do much besides removing any items stored inside or under the piece and clearing it of cushions and pillows. The shop handles everything from there, including removing the old fabric and assessing what's underneath.
Can a worn leather sofa be repaired, or does it need full reupholstery?
Minor leather damage like small tears, scuffs, or color fading can often be repaired without full reupholstery. More extensive cracking or breakdown of the leather surface usually warrants a complete recover, either in new leather or a quality alternative.
Is furniture reupholstery worth it financially compared to buying new?
For solid-frame pieces, reupholstery almost always costs less than buying a comparable quality new item. A well-made sofa that would cost $2,000 or more new might be fully restored for $600 to $900, and it'll likely outlast a budget replacement.
What should I look for when choosing an upholstery shop in Buffalo?
Ask whether they do the work in-house or subcontract it, and try to see examples of completed projects if possible. A shop willing to walk you through the process and give clear pricing upfront is usually a good sign.
Can outdoor furniture cushions be reupholstered with weather-resistant fabric?
Yes, outdoor upholstery is a specific category with fabrics like Sunbrella that resist moisture, mildew, and UV fading. An upholstery shop can replace worn outdoor cushion covers and foam with materials designed to handle western New York's weather.
How do I know how much foam thickness I should choose for replacement cushions?
The right foam density and thickness depends on how the piece is used and your personal preference for firmness. A good upholstery shop will help you choose based on use, asking whether it's a daily sofa, an accent chair, or something in between.
