Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

The core service here is furniture reupholstery, which means stripping your existing piece down to the frame, replacing worn padding and springs as needed, and applying new fabric to give it a fresh start. This process works on sofas, chairs, ottomans, dining seats, and headboards. Customers typically bring in heirloom pieces, thrift store finds worth investing in, or beloved furniture that's structurally solid but visually tired. Fabric selection is part of the process, with options ranging from durable performance fabrics suited for busy households to classic upholstery-grade materials.

Service Area

South Kitsap Upholstery is based in Port Orchard and serves customers throughout South Kitsap County. That includes nearby communities like Gig Harbor, Bremerton, and Gorst. Customers from across the peninsula find it convenient given the shop's central location in the county.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my furniture is worth reupholstering?
The frame is the key factor. If the wood or metal frame is solid and the piece has good bones, reupholstery almost always makes financial sense compared to buying new. Pieces with sentimental value or quality construction, like older sofas with eight-way hand-tied springs, are especially good candidates.
Can I supply my own fabric?
Yes, most upholstery shops will work with customer-supplied fabric. You'll want to confirm the yardage needed before purchasing, since your shop can give you an accurate estimate based on the piece. Make sure the fabric is appropriate for upholstery use, as décor or drapery fabric often isn't durable enough for furniture.
How long does furniture reupholstery take?
A standard chair might take one to two weeks, while a large sectional sofa could take three to four weeks or longer. Turnaround depends on the shop's current workload and the complexity of the piece. It's always worth asking for a timeframe estimate when you drop off your furniture.
Is reupholstery more affordable than buying new furniture?
It depends on the piece, but for quality furniture, reupholstery is frequently the more cost-effective choice. A well-built sofa that costs several hundred dollars to reupholster might cost two to three times that to replace with something of equal quality. You're also keeping a piece you already know and trust.
Do upholstery shops work on outdoor furniture?
Many do, though it requires fabric rated for UV exposure and moisture resistance. Be sure to mention upfront that the piece is for outdoor use so the shop can recommend appropriate materials. Standard indoor upholstery fabrics won't hold up to the Pacific Northwest's wet conditions.
What happens to the old foam and padding?
Old foam and padding are typically removed and replaced as part of the reupholstery process. The shop handles disposal of the old materials. If you want to discuss foam density or firmness preferences for the replacement, bring that up during your initial consultation.
