Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in the reupholstery price?
Pricing typically covers labor, basic foam or padding replacement, and the fabric you select from the shop's inventory. If you bring your own fabric, that cost is separate, and some specialty materials or structural frame repairs may add to the total.
Can you reupholster a couch that has a pullout bed?
Yes, sleeper sofas can be reupholstered, though they're more complex than standard couches due to the pull-out mechanism. Expect the job to take a bit longer and cost a bit more given the extra labor involved.
How do I transport a large sofa to your shop?
Most customers rent a cargo van or borrow a truck for larger pieces. Some upholstery shops also offer pickup and delivery for an added fee, so it's worth asking when you call to schedule.
Will the new fabric wear as well as the original?
That depends mostly on the fabric you choose. High-traffic pieces benefit from tightly woven fabrics with a high rub count, like commercial-grade linen blends or performance velvets. The shop can point you toward options that hold up well based on how you use the furniture.
Can I bring in fabric I bought myself?
Yes, many upholstery shops accept customer-supplied fabric. Just make sure you have enough yardage, since running short mid-project can cause real headaches. The shop can tell you exactly how many yards you'll need before you purchase.
Is reupholstery a good option for a piece I bought at a thrift store?
It can be, especially if the frame is solid. Thrift store finds with good bones are often worth reupholstering because the labor cost is similar whether the base piece cost ten dollars or a thousand. A quick inspection of the frame before committing is always smart.
