The work involves removing old fabric, assessing and repairing the internal structure if needed, replacing worn foam or batting, and applying new material with clean, finished seams. Fabric selection is typically part of the process, with options available in-shop or sourced from fabric suppliers based on the customer's preferences. Customers who have a specific fabric in mind can often supply their own material as well.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I pick a fabric color that will work long-term in my living room?
Neutral mid-tones tend to hold up best visually over time and hide everyday dirt better than very light or very dark colors. It also helps to bring home a swatch before committing, since fabric looks different under natural light in your space than it does in a shop or on a screen.
Can you reupholster just the dining chair seats without touching the backs?
Yes, partial reupholstery is a common and cost-effective request, particularly for dining chairs where the seats take the most wear. It's a good way to refresh a set of chairs without the expense of a full overhaul.
What happens to the old fabric and foam when my furniture is reupholstered?
Most shops remove and dispose of the old materials as part of the job, so you don't have to worry about hauling anything away yourself. If you want to keep the original fabric for any reason, just let them know ahead of time.
Is it worth reupholstering a sofa I paid a modest amount for originally?
It depends on the frame quality. Inexpensive furniture often has a lighter, less durable frame that may not justify the cost of reupholstery since the labor and materials can exceed the piece's replacement cost. A shop can inspect the frame and give you an honest opinion on whether it's a good investment.
Are there fabric options that work well for homes near the Grand River or in humid Michigan summers?
Performance fabrics treated for moisture resistance are a smart choice in Michigan's humid climate, particularly for furniture near windows or in lake homes. Solution-dyed acrylics and certain synthetic blends resist mildew and fading better than untreated natural fibers.
Can an upholstery shop also fix broken springs in a sofa?
Yes, spring repair is often part of the reupholstery process, especially on older sofas where the coil springs have shifted or broken. It's much easier to address internal structural issues while the fabric is already off than to try to fix them later.
