Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery at a shop like Roy's covers the full range of residential pieces, from single accent chairs to large sectional sofas. The process involves pulling apart existing upholstery, assessing and replacing internal materials like foam and webbing, and applying new fabric with clean, durable stitching. Customers typically choose from a fabric selection the shop carries, though many bring in their own material for specific projects. Whether you're updating a hand-me-down armchair or refreshing a whole living room set, the approach stays consistent from piece to piece.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get an accurate quote for reupholstering a chair or sofa?
The most reliable way is to bring the piece in so the upholsterer can see the frame condition, measure the surface area, and understand what the project actually involves. Photos can give a rough ballpark, but in-person assessments catch things that pictures miss.
What should I look for when choosing an upholstery shop in Mount Pleasant?
Look for someone who will walk you through the frame assessment honestly and tell you if a piece isn't worth saving. A shop that shows you examples of completed work and explains the materials they use is a better sign than one that gives you a price without asking any questions.
Can antique furniture be reupholstered without damaging its value?
Yes, when done carefully by someone experienced with older construction methods. The key is preserving the original frame and using appropriate materials that match the era, rather than cutting corners with modern foam or staple guns where hand-tied springs belong.
How many yards of fabric does a typical sofa require?
A standard three-seat sofa usually requires between 12 and 18 yards of fabric depending on the size and design details. Pieces with loose cushions, tufting, or pattern matching on the fabric require more material than simpler designs.
Is it cheaper to reupholster furniture or buy new in today's market?
For well-built older furniture, reupholstering often costs less than buying a comparable new piece of similar quality. The savings depend heavily on the fabric choice and the condition of the frame, but restoration usually makes financial sense for solid hardwood pieces.
Can dining chairs be reupholstered as a set for a consistent look?
Yes, doing a set of chairs together is actually the most practical approach since it ensures the same fabric lot and consistent craftsmanship across all pieces. Doing chairs one at a time over months can result in slight color or texture variations even with the same fabric name.
