Services & Process

T J Hooker Inc focuses on two closely related disciplines: antique restoration and furniture reupholstery. Antique work often means sourcing period-appropriate fabrics, carefully removing original tacking without splitting aged wood frames, and matching historical details as closely as possible. Reupholstery on vintage pieces goes beyond simply swapping out fabric. It involves inspecting springs, webbing, and padding that may be decades old, replacing what's failing, and rebuilding the seat so it performs well again. Customers bring in Victorian parlor chairs, mid-century sofas, and everything in between.

Service Area

T J Hooker Inc serves Denver and the surrounding metro area, including neighborhoods throughout the city and nearby communities along the Front Range. Customers from areas like Cherry Creek, Capitol Hill, and the greater Denver corridor regularly seek out specialists who can handle delicate antique work. Call (303) 722-4333 to discuss your project.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you reupholster antique furniture without damaging the original frame?
Yes, experienced antique upholsterers are trained to remove old fabric and padding carefully, preserving the integrity of aged wood frames. They'll inspect joints and structural components before starting and make any necessary repairs so the frame is solid before new material goes on.
How do I know if an antique piece is worth reupholstering?
A good rule of thumb is to consider the quality of the original frame. Solid hardwood frames from reputable manufacturers or hand-built antiques are almost always worth restoring. A shop specializing in antiques can assess the piece and give you an honest opinion on whether the investment makes sense.
What types of fabric work best for antique furniture?
It depends on the era and style of the piece. Victorian furniture often pairs well with velvets, brocades, or damasks, while mid-century pieces tend to suit wools, tweeds, or leather. A specialist can help you find fabrics that are both period-appropriate and durable enough for regular use.
How long does a typical antique reupholstery project take in Denver?
Most projects take anywhere from two to six weeks depending on complexity, fabric sourcing, and current shop workload. Antique pieces sometimes take longer because frame repairs or specialty fabric orders can add time to the process.
Do you work with estate sale or auction finds, not just family heirlooms?
Absolutely. Many customers bring in pieces they've picked up at estate sales, antique markets, or auctions along the Front Range. As long as the frame is sound, almost any vintage piece can be brought back to life with the right materials and craftsmanship.
Will reupholstering my antique reduce its collector value?
For most functional antiques used in homes, quality reupholstery typically maintains or improves value because it makes the piece usable again. Museum-quality collector items are a different matter, and in those cases a specialist will discuss the tradeoffs with you before proceeding.
