Services

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

T & D Upholstery's core offering is furniture reupholstery, covering pieces like sofas, recliners, dining chairs, benches, and headboards. The reupholstery process involves removing old fabric and padding, inspecting and repairing the underlying frame if needed, then rebuilding the cushioning and applying new fabric. Customers can typically choose from a range of fabric types including wovens, velvets, performance fabrics, and leather alternatives depending on the look and durability they're after. This kind of hands-on, shop-based work ensures that every seam and tuck is done correctly rather than relying on slip covers or surface-level fixes.

Service Area

T & D Upholstery serves Lapel and the surrounding Madison County area, including Anderson, Pendleton, and Alexandria. Their location in the northeastern corner of the Indianapolis metro makes them a convenient option for customers who want to avoid driving into the city. Customers from neighboring counties like Hamilton and Hancock also have reasonable driving distance to Lapel for upholstery work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of furniture can be reupholstered?
Most upholstered furniture can be reupholstered, including sofas, sectionals, armchairs, recliners, dining chairs, ottomans, benches, headboards, and window seats. The main factor is whether the underlying frame is in good enough condition to support new fabric and padding.
How do I choose the right fabric for my furniture?
The right fabric depends on how the piece is used, who uses it, and what look you're going for. High-traffic items in homes with kids or pets benefit from tightly woven, stain-resistant fabrics, while a decorative accent chair in a low-use room gives you more flexibility to choose something softer or more textured.
Can upholstery shops in small towns like Lapel handle large sectionals?
Yes, local upholstery shops regularly work on large sectionals and multi-piece furniture sets. You may need to bring the sections in separately to make transport manageable, and it's worth confirming workspace availability for oversized pieces when you call.
Will my furniture look exactly the same after reupholstery, or will it look different?
If you choose a similar fabric and your upholsterer follows the original pattern and construction, the piece will look very close to its original form. Many customers use the opportunity to update the look entirely with a new color or texture, which is one of the real benefits of reupholstery over buying new.
How do I know if my furniture frame is worth reupholstering?
Solid wood frames with traditional joinery are almost always worth reupholstering because they're structurally superior to most new furniture. Particleboard or stapled-together frames may not be worth the investment unless the piece has significant sentimental value.
Do local upholstery shops in Indiana work on outdoor furniture?
Many do, as long as the fabric selected is rated for outdoor or UV exposure. Outdoor reupholstery uses water-resistant, fade-resistant fabrics that are specifically designed to hold up to Indiana's seasonal weather and humidity.
