Dining chairs, sofas, sectionals, and accent chairs are common projects. The process restores both the look and the comfort of a piece without the cost of buying new.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it worth reupholstering an older sofa instead of buying a new one?
It depends on the frame quality. If the sofa has a solid hardwood frame, reupholstering is almost always worth it since you're getting a custom result for less than the cost of a comparable new piece. Sofas with particleboard or staple-heavy frames may not be worth the investment.
How long does a typical furniture reupholstery project take in West Hartford?
Most standard jobs, like a single chair or a two-cushion sofa, take one to three weeks from drop-off to pickup. Larger sectionals or pieces requiring significant frame repair can take longer, especially if specialty fabric needs to be ordered.
Can I supply my own fabric for a reupholstery project?
Yes, most upholstery shops will work with customer-supplied fabric. You'll want to confirm yardage requirements before purchasing since the amount needed varies by piece size and pattern matching requirements.
What types of furniture can be reupholstered?
Sofas, loveseats, armchairs, dining chairs, ottomans, benches, and headboards are all common candidates. Basically, if a piece has padding and fabric, it can almost certainly be reupholstered as long as the underlying frame is structurally sound.
How do I get an estimate for my furniture?
Calling the shop directly is the fastest way to get a ballpark figure. Many shops can give a rough estimate based on photos, with a firm quote after inspecting the piece in person.
Does reupholstering furniture also replace the cushion foam?
Typically yes, replacing the foam is part of a full reupholstery job. Old foam breaks down and loses support over time, so fresh foam makes a significant difference in both comfort and the finished appearance of the piece.
