Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery at this shop involves removing old fabric, inspecting and repairing the internal structure as needed, replacing foam or batting, and applying new upholstery material with clean, tight stitching. Customers choose from a curated selection of fabrics including performance textiles, natural weaves, velvets, and faux leathers. The shop handles everything from small accent chairs to large sectional sofas. Cushion replacement, where old foam is swapped for high-density alternatives, is a popular service for sofas that have lost their support.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right fabric for reupholstering a sofa?
Think about how the sofa gets used. Households with kids or pets do better with performance or tightly woven fabrics that resist staining and wear. If it's a formal piece used lightly, you have more freedom to choose delicate textures like velvet or linen.
Can you reupholster a sofa with curved or unusual shapes?
Yes, though complex shapes take more skill and time to upholster cleanly. Curved backs, tufted surfaces, and tight-radius corners all require pattern matching and careful cutting. A specialist shop handles these regularly and should be able to show you examples of similar work.
What's the price range for reupholstering a standard sofa in San Francisco?
A standard three-cushion sofa in San Francisco typically runs between $900 and $2,500 depending on the fabric chosen and the amount of labor involved. Higher-end fabrics, tufting, or structural repairs push the price up, while simpler jobs with basic materials come in lower.
How do I know if my furniture frame is worth reupholstering?
A shop professional can assess this quickly by checking for wobble, broken joints, or compromised support. Solid hardwood frames are almost always worth restoring. Particleboard or stapled-together frames may not justify the investment unless the piece has strong sentimental value.
Can you replace just the cushion inserts without reupholstering the whole piece?
Absolutely. Cushion replacement is one of the most common standalone services. New high-density foam or down-wrapped inserts can make a sagging sofa feel brand new without the cost of re-covering the entire frame.
Do upholstery shops in San Francisco offer pickup and delivery?
Some do, especially for larger pieces that are difficult to transport in a personal vehicle. It's worth asking directly since pricing and availability vary. Many Mission District and inner-city residents rely on this service for bulky sectionals or heavy armchairs.
