Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery is the core offering here, which covers everything from dining chair seats and sofas to headboards and ottomans. The process typically involves stripping old fabric, inspecting and repairing the frame, replacing worn foam or padding, and applying new fabric chosen by the customer. Fabric selection is a big part of the job, with options ranging from durable performance textiles to classic upholstery-grade wovens. For pieces with sentimental or antique value, careful attention to the original construction helps preserve the piece's character while giving it a fresh look.

Service Area

TaylorMade serves customers in Barhamsville and throughout New Kent County, Virginia. Residents from nearby areas like Toano, Providence Forge, and West Point also make the trip for custom work. The shop's location between Richmond and Williamsburg makes it accessible to a wide stretch of central Virginia.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my furniture is worth reupholstering?
A good rule of thumb is to look at the frame. If the wood or metal frame is solid and the piece has good bones, reupholstery almost always makes financial and practical sense. Solid wood frames, especially on older or antique furniture, are far more durable than particleboard found in newer budget pieces.
Can I bring my own fabric to the shop?
Many upholstery shops will work with customer-supplied fabric, but you'll want to confirm this ahead of time. The shop may have minimum yardage requirements or recommendations based on the pattern repeat and fabric weight for your specific piece.
How long does furniture reupholstery take in the Barhamsville area?
Turnaround time varies by shop workload and the complexity of the piece. A single dining chair might take a week or less, while a large sectional sofa could take several weeks. It's best to ask for a timeline estimate when you drop your piece off.
What types of furniture can be reupholstered?
Most upholstered furniture can be recovered, including sofas, loveseats, chairs, ottomans, headboards, dining chairs, and benches. Pieces with unusual shapes or antique construction may require more time but are generally still good candidates for reupholstery.
Will the shop repair the frame as part of the reupholstery job?
Frame repairs are often available and sometimes necessary before the fabric work begins. Loose joints, broken legs, or cracked supports should be addressed at the same time so the finished piece is both beautiful and structurally sound. Ask specifically about this when getting your estimate.
Is reupholstery cheaper than buying new furniture?
It depends on the piece and the fabric you choose, but for solid, high-quality furniture it's frequently more cost-effective than buying a comparable new item. You also get to keep a piece you already love rather than gambling on whether new furniture will hold up as well.
