Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery is the core offering here, which covers everything from pulling off old fabric to rebuilding cushion foam and applying new material. A full reupholstery job typically includes stripping the existing cover, inspecting the frame for structural issues, replacing worn padding, and fitting the new fabric tightly and evenly. Customers usually bring in sofas, armchairs, dining chairs, ottomans, and headboards. Fabric selection is part of the process too, with options ranging from durable everyday weaves to more decorative textiles.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my furniture is worth reupholstering?
The main thing to check is the frame. If the wood frame is solid and the piece has good bones, reupholstery almost always makes more sense than buying new. A shop can give you a quick assessment in person to help you decide.
How much fabric will I need for a typical sofa?
Most standard sofas require between 12 and 18 yards of fabric, depending on the size and the pattern repeat. If you're choosing a fabric with a large repeat, you'll need extra yardage to line everything up correctly.
Can I supply my own fabric?
Many shops will work with customer-supplied fabric, though you'll want to confirm this ahead of time. Just make sure the fabric is upholstery-grade, since lighter decorative fabrics often don't hold up to the tension of the stapling and pulling process.
How long does a chair reupholstery usually take?
A single dining chair can take just a few days, while a fully upholstered armchair might take one to two weeks. Timelines vary based on the shop's current workload and how complex the piece is.
Is it cheaper to reupholster or buy new furniture?
For solid, well-built pieces, reupholstery is often the better value. New furniture at a comparable quality level can cost significantly more than restoring what you already own. You also get to keep a piece you already love.
Do upholstery shops in Mechanicsville pick up furniture?
Some shops offer pickup and delivery for larger pieces, though it's usually an added fee. It's worth asking when you call, especially if you have a heavy sectional or multiple items to bring in at once.
