Services & Process

Reupholstery services cover the full process: stripping old fabric, evaluating and replacing foam or cushion fill, and applying new fabric chosen by the customer from available samples. Having furniture for sale in the same location means the shop can honestly tell you when reupholstery makes sense versus when buying a replacement piece is the smarter call. This kind of candor is something you don't always get from shops that only profit from one option or the other.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I decide whether to reupholster my furniture or buy something new from a shop like Smith's?
The condition and quality of your existing frame is the main factor. If you have a well-built sofa or chair with solid wood framing and good bones, reupholstery usually costs less than buying comparable quality new. If the frame is damaged or low quality to begin with, replacement often makes more sense.
How many fabric choices does an upholstery shop typically offer?
Most upholstery shops carry dozens to hundreds of fabric samples across different textures, patterns, and durability grades. You can also often request specific fabric types like velvet, linen, leather, or performance fabric depending on your needs and budget.
Can Smith's Roger A Upholstery reupholster office chairs or commercial furniture?
Many upholstery shops handle commercial work alongside residential projects, though it's worth calling (217) 528-4276 to confirm they take on commercial pieces. Office chairs and commercial seating often have different foam and fabric requirements than home furniture.
What's the typical lifespan of newly reupholstered furniture?
A well-reupholstered piece on a solid frame can last another 10 to 20 years or more with normal use. Choosing a durable fabric with a high double-rub count and quality foam replacement makes a significant difference in how long the new upholstery holds up.
Can I get a quote before committing to a reupholstery project?
Yes, reputable shops provide quotes before starting any work. Bring your piece in or contact Smith's Roger A Upholstery at (217) 528-4276 to discuss what the job involves and what it's likely to cost.
Does reupholstering furniture help with allergies or dust mite issues?
Replacing old foam and fabric can absolutely reduce allergen buildup, since older upholstery tends to trap dust, pet dander, and other particles over time. Choosing tightly woven or performance fabrics during reupholstery can also make future cleaning easier and more effective.
