Services & Process

Smasal Upholstering handles full furniture reupholstery, which includes removing old fabric, replacing foam and batting, repairing or rebuilding spring systems, and applying new fabric with professional finishing. The furniture repair side of the business covers structural fixes like frame tightening, joint repairs, and leg replacements. Clients can often have both the structural and cosmetic work done at once, which is especially useful for older pieces that may have developed both upholstery wear and frame issues over the years. Fabric selection is part of the process, with options ranging from durable woven textiles to leather and faux leather alternatives.

Service Area

Smasal Upholstering serves customers throughout Saint Paul and the surrounding east metro, including Maplewood, South St. Paul, and Roseville. West-side and Highland Park residents are also within easy reach given the shop's Saint Paul location. The shop draws customers from across Ramsey County who want quality reupholstery without the wait times common at larger metro shops.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Smasal Upholstering fix furniture frames as well as fabric?
Yes, the shop offers both furniture reupholstery and furniture repair, which means structural issues can be addressed during the same job. This is a big convenience if your piece has a wobbly leg or a broken joint alongside worn upholstery.
What types of furniture does Smasal typically work on?
The shop handles a wide range of upholstered furniture including sofas, sectionals, armchairs, loveseats, dining chairs, and ottomans. If you have a less common piece, a quick call to describe it will confirm whether it's something they take on.
How much does it cost to reupholster a chair in Saint Paul?
Pricing varies based on the chair's size, fabric choice, and any structural repairs needed, but a basic accent chair reupholstery in the Twin Cities typically runs from a few hundred dollars upward. Getting an in-person quote is the most reliable way to understand the actual cost for your specific piece.
Can I supply my own fabric for the reupholstery project?
Many shops, including those focused on reupholstery, will work with customer-supplied fabric. You'll want to confirm yardage requirements upfront, since estimating how much fabric a piece needs requires knowing the pattern repeat and furniture dimensions.
How do I prepare my furniture before dropping it off?
Remove any cushions, throws, or personal items from the piece before bringing it in. If there are any drawer inserts or decorative elements that could be damaged in transit, take those out too. Otherwise, the shop handles everything from there.
Does Smasal Upholstering work with interior designers?
Upholstery shops throughout Saint Paul regularly work with interior designers who specify fabrics and direct client projects. If you're a designer with a client piece, it's worth calling to discuss their workflow and any trade pricing they may offer.
