Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my furniture is worth reupholstering?
A good rule of thumb is to compare the reupholstery cost to the price of a comparable new piece. If the frame is solid hardwood and the piece has sentimental or antique value, reupholstery almost always makes more sense financially and emotionally.
Can I bring my own fabric to Stith Upholstery Shop?
Many upholstery shops in Norfolk do accept customer-supplied fabric. It's best to call ahead and confirm, and make sure you have the correct yardage since the shop will likely give you a fabric requirement estimate based on your piece.
How long does furniture reupholstery typically take in Norfolk?
Most jobs take between one and three weeks from drop-off to pickup, depending on the complexity of the piece and current workload. Dining chairs tend to be quicker, while large sectionals or antique pieces with detailed work take longer.
Does reupholstering furniture also include fixing the frame?
It depends on the shop and what they find when they start stripping the piece. Most upholsterers will point out frame or spring issues and can repair them, though that work is typically quoted separately from the fabric and labor costs.
What types of fabric work best in Norfolk's humid climate?
Performance fabrics and solution-dyed acrylics hold up well in Hampton Roads' coastal humidity and are easier to clean. Tightly woven synthetic blends also resist moisture better than natural fibers alone, which is worth considering for pieces in sunrooms or high-traffic areas.
Is it cheaper to reupholster or buy new furniture?
For quality pieces, reupholstery is often cheaper than buying a comparable new item, especially when you factor in current furniture prices. The bigger advantage is that you keep a frame you already know is solid rather than gambling on the construction of a new piece.
