About Solano's Furniture Restoration

Solano's Furniture Restoration in Wilmington, Delaware handles both furniture reupholstery and furniture repair, making it a solid choice when your piece needs more than just new fabric. Wilmington's older housing stock means many residents own furniture with worn joints, broken frames, or damaged finishes alongside tired upholstery. Being able to address structural and aesthetic issues in one place saves time and reduces the risk of a piece being handed off between contractors. It's a practical combination for anyone dealing with a piece that needs real attention.

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery at Solano's involves replacing fabric or leather, refreshing cushions, and restoring the overall appearance of seating and upholstered pieces. The furniture repair side covers structural fixes like re-gluing joints, reinforcing frames, replacing broken legs, and fixing mechanisms on recliners or sofa beds. Combining these services means a piece can be fully evaluated before work begins, with any hidden damage addressed before new fabric goes on. This prevents the frustration of discovering frame problems after the upholstery is already done.

Service Area

Solano's Furniture Restoration serves Wilmington and the broader New Castle County area in Delaware. Customers from surrounding communities including Brandywine Hundred, Pike Creek, and nearby parts of Pennsylvania also bring pieces in for restoration work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you repair a broken sofa frame and reupholster it at the same time?
Yes, and that's actually the best way to handle it. Repairing the frame first ensures the new upholstery goes onto a solid foundation, so you're not dealing with the same structural problem again in a few years. Shops that do both services can give you an all-in quote covering everything.
What kinds of furniture repairs do you handle?
Common repairs include re-gluing loose joints, replacing broken legs or arms, fixing recliner mechanisms, repairing sofa bed frames, and reinforcing weakened spring systems. If the frame is wood, repairs typically involve clamping, re-gluing, and sometimes adding internal supports for long-term stability.
How much does furniture restoration typically cost in Wilmington?
Costs vary widely based on the size of the piece, the fabric chosen, and the extent of any structural repairs needed. A basic dining chair reupholster might run a few hundred dollars, while a large sectional with frame repairs can cost significantly more. Getting an in-person estimate is the most reliable way to know what to expect.
Do you work with antique furniture?
Antique pieces require extra care during both the repair and reupholstery stages to preserve their value and original character. A shop experienced in furniture restoration will know how to handle delicate frames, period-appropriate construction methods, and fabric choices that suit the style of the original piece.
How do I prepare my furniture for drop-off?
Remove any personal items, cushions if they're loose, and take note of any specific damage or concerns you want the shop to address. It helps to bring photos of any inspiration or fabric samples you're considering so the consultation can be as productive as possible.
Can you match the original fabric or style of an older piece?
Experienced restoration shops often have access to a wide range of fabric suppliers and can source materials that closely match a piece's original look. For antiques, they may recommend period-appropriate fabrics that preserve the furniture's character while meeting modern durability standards.
