Services & Process

The Barn Wood Shop covers both furniture reupholstery and furniture repair, which means they can handle a project start to finish if a piece needs both structural fixes and new fabric. Reupholstery typically involves stripping old fabric and padding, replacing worn foam or batting, and recovering the piece in the customer's chosen material. Furniture repair addresses things like broken frames, loose joints, damaged legs, and surface issues. Having both services under one roof saves customers the hassle of coordinating between multiple shops.

Service Area

The Barn Wood Shop serves Menlo Park and the surrounding Peninsula communities, including Palo Alto, Atherton, Redwood City, and East Palo Alto. Customers from further up or down the Peninsula also make the drive when they need reliable furniture repair and reupholstery work in the area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can The Barn Wood Shop reupholster a sofa and also fix a broken frame?
Yes, since the shop offers both furniture repair and reupholstery, they can address structural issues and recover the piece in one project. This is often more cost-effective than splitting the work between two different shops.
What fabric options are typically available for reupholstery work?
Most upholstery shops can work with fabrics you supply yourself or source materials through their own suppliers. Common options include upholstery-grade linen, velvet, leather, vinyl, and performance fabrics designed to resist staining and wear. Ask about samples during your consultation.
How much does it cost to reupholster a standard sofa in Menlo Park?
Pricing varies based on the size of the piece, the complexity of the job, and the cost of materials. A standard three-seat sofa can range from a few hundred to over a thousand dollars depending on those factors. Getting a quote in person or with detailed photos will give you the most accurate number.
Is it worth reupholstering an older sofa versus buying a new one?
If the frame is solid hardwood and the piece is well-built, reupholstery is usually worth it. Older furniture often has better construction than similarly priced new pieces. A quick frame inspection at the shop can help you decide.
How long does furniture reupholstery typically take at a Peninsula shop?
Most standard pieces take one to three weeks, though more complex jobs or busy seasons can push that out a bit. It's always a good idea to ask for a timeline estimate when you drop off your piece.
Do you work with interior designers or take trade referrals?
Many upholstery shops on the Peninsula regularly work with interior designers and accept trade clients. If you're a designer looking for a reliable local workroom, it's worth calling directly to discuss how they handle trade projects.
