Services

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Stehr's handles the full range of furniture reupholstery, from single dining chairs to large sectional sofas that require careful fabric matching across multiple pieces. The process includes frame inspection, cushion foam replacement when needed, and final upholstering with customer-selected fabric. Spring and webbing repairs are often part of the job on older pieces, addressing the structural support that determines how a piece sits and holds up over time. For customers near JBLM, the shop is also well-placed to assist military families who want to restore quality furniture rather than replace it during frequent moves.

Service Area

Stehr's Upholstery serves Lacey and the surrounding Thurston County communities, including Olympia, Tumwater, and Yelm. The shop's location near Interstate 5 makes it easy to reach from communities along the South Sound corridor. Customers from the Nisqually area and parts of Pierce County also make the trip for quality reupholstery work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it worth reupholstering a sofa that's 20 years old?
It depends on the frame quality. A 20-year-old sofa with a solid hardwood frame and good bones is often worth more restored than most new furniture at a comparable price point. A quick inspection by an upholsterer will tell you whether the structure justifies the investment.
Can you replace just the cushions without reupholstering the whole sofa?
Yes, cushion replacement is a common standalone service where old foam is removed and replaced with new material at your preferred firmness level. If the outer fabric is still in good shape, this can significantly improve comfort without the full cost of reupholstery.
Do you offer pickup and delivery for large furniture pieces?
Many upholstery shops, including those in the Lacey area, can arrange pickup and delivery for large items that are difficult to transport on your own. It's best to ask about this when you call, as there may be a small fee depending on distance.
What fabric is best for homes with pets?
Performance fabrics like tightly woven synthetic blends, outdoor-grade materials, and certain microfibers hold up well against pet claws and are easier to clean. Your upholsterer can show you options that balance durability with the look you want.
How do I care for newly reupholstered furniture to make it last?
Regular light vacuuming, prompt spot cleaning of spills, and rotating cushions to distribute wear evenly are the basics. Your upholsterer should also provide care instructions specific to the fabric type used on your piece.
Can Stehr's handle reupholstery for military housing furniture near JBLM?
Yes, many families near Joint Base Lewis-McChord use local Lacey upholsterers to refresh furniture between moves. It's a practical choice for quality pieces that are worth keeping rather than replacing at each new posting.
