Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery covers the full process of removing old fabric, assessing and replacing padding or spring systems, and applying new upholstery material to the piece. Refinishing services address the non-fabric parts of furniture, including sanding, staining, painting, or lacquering wood frames and legs that have become scratched, faded, or damaged over time. Having both services under one roof means a dining chair, for example, can get a new seat fabric and a restored wood frame in one trip. That saves time compared to coordinating two separate vendors for the same piece.

Service Area

Sew Good Upholstery is located in Buffalo and serves customers throughout Erie County. Surrounding neighborhoods and suburbs like South Buffalo, North Buffalo, Amherst, and Kenmore are all within a reasonable distance for drop-off and pickup.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does furniture refinishing actually involve?
Refinishing typically means stripping the old finish from wood surfaces, sanding them smooth, and applying a new stain, paint, or clear coat. The goal is to restore the appearance of scratched, faded, or worn wood frames and legs on furniture pieces.
Can the wood frame and the upholstery be done at the same time?
Yes, and that's one of the advantages of a shop that handles both services. The upholsterer and refinisher can coordinate the work so both aspects of the piece are completed together, rather than you having to make two separate trips to two different vendors.
How do I know if my furniture frame is worth refinishing?
Solid wood frames in good structural condition are almost always worth refinishing. Veneer that has peeled badly or particle board that has swelled or broken apart is harder to restore well. A shop assessment will give you an honest read on whether the piece is a good candidate.
What should I ask before hiring an upholstery shop in Buffalo?
Ask to see examples of their previous work, get a written quote before anything starts, and confirm the timeline in writing. Asking how long they've been operating and whether they have references is also reasonable, especially for larger or more valuable pieces.
Can upholstery and refinishing work be done on antique furniture?
Yes, antique pieces are common candidates for both services. Restoring an antique requires care with both the fabric selection and the finish choice so the result looks appropriate for the piece's age and style. Make sure the shop has experience with antique furniture before handing over valuable items.
How should I transport my furniture to the shop safely?
Wrap wood surfaces with moving blankets to prevent new scratches during transport, and support upholstered sections so they don't get compressed or torn in transit. For large or fragile pieces, asking the shop whether they offer pickup is worth a call before you wrestle it into a truck yourself.
