About Robinson's Upholstery

Robinson's Upholstery operates in Franklin, one of the fastest-growing cities in Tennessee and a community where historic homes and new construction sit side by side. Williamson County residents tend to invest in quality furnishings, and when those pieces show wear, reupholstery is often the smarter call over replacement. Franklin's mix of established neighborhoods like Westhaven and older downtown streets means there's steady demand for both modern fabric updates and more traditional restoration work. This is a shop that fits the fabric of the local community, literally and figuratively.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to reupholster a sofa in Franklin, TN?
Sofa reupholstery typically ranges from $600 to $2,000 or more depending on the size, style, fabric choice, and any needed frame repairs. Getting an in-person estimate is the most accurate way to understand your specific cost. Material selection has the biggest impact on price after labor.
Can interior designers set up trade accounts with upholstery shops?
Many upholstery shops in the Franklin area work regularly with interior designers and may offer trade pricing or priority scheduling. It's worth asking directly when you first reach out. Building a working relationship with a reliable upholsterer is valuable for any design professional in the Williamson County market.
How do I choose the right fabric for a high-use living room sofa?
For high-traffic seating, look for fabrics with a high rub count, typically 30,000 double rubs or more for residential use. Performance fabrics like solution-dyed acrylics and certain microfibers are popular choices. Your upholsterer can show you samples and explain the tradeoffs between durability, feel, and appearance.
Can you reupholster furniture with an unusual or custom shape?
Yes, experienced upholsterers work with curved, tufted, and unusual shapes regularly. These pieces take more time and skill, so they cost more, but there's rarely a shape that can't be done. Bring photos or the piece itself so the upholsterer can give you an accurate assessment.
Is it possible to change the style of a piece during reupholstery?
Absolutely. Many customers use reupholstery as an opportunity to update the look of a piece entirely, changing the tufting pattern, adding contrast piping, or switching from a formal fabric to something more casual. The upholsterer can advise on what changes are structurally feasible.
How should I prepare my furniture before dropping it off?
Clean out any items stored in or on the piece, and remove cushions if they come off easily. You don't need to do any prep to the fabric or frame. Just make sure it's accessible and you have a way to transport it safely without damaging it further.
