Furniture Reupholstery
Furniture Repair

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery here covers replacing worn or damaged fabric on chairs, sofas, headboards, and other upholstered pieces, with attention to both the fabric and what's underneath it. Furniture repair goes a step further, addressing broken frames, loose joints, damaged legs, scratched surfaces, and structural problems that affect how a piece functions or looks. Having both services under one roof means a wobbly chair with torn fabric doesn't require two separate trips to two separate specialists. Customers dealing with older or heavily used pieces often find this combination of services especially useful.

Service Area

The Furniture Professionals is based in Des Moines and serves the broader central Iowa area. Customers from surrounding suburbs like West Des Moines, Altoona, and Norwalk bring pieces in regularly. The shop's location in Des Moines puts it within a reasonable drive for most metro residents needing furniture work done right.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a furniture repair shop fix a broken sofa frame?
Yes, shops that offer furniture repair alongside reupholstery can typically address cracked or broken wooden frames, loose joints, and structural weaknesses. It's actually ideal to get this done before new fabric goes on so the repair doesn't affect the finished upholstery.
What's the difference between furniture repair and reupholstery?
Reupholstery focuses on replacing the fabric, foam, and padding on upholstered pieces, while furniture repair addresses structural or surface issues like broken frames, scratched wood, or damaged legs. Many jobs actually need a bit of both, especially with older furniture.
How do I know if my furniture is worth repairing or reupholstering?
A good rule of thumb is to consider the quality of the original construction and what you paid or would pay for something comparable today. Solid hardwood frames, hand-tied springs, and quality joinery are all signs a piece is worth investing in rather than replacing.
How should I prepare my furniture before dropping it off?
Remove cushions, clear out any storage compartments, and take off any personal items from drawers or shelves. It's also helpful to take a few photos of the piece beforehand so you have a reference point when you pick it up.
Can furniture professionals match the original fabric on my piece?
Exact fabric matches can be difficult if the original material is discontinued, but a skilled shop can often find very close alternatives in color, texture, and weight. Bringing a fabric swatch from a less visible area of the piece can help guide the selection.
Do you need an appointment to get a furniture quote in Des Moines?
It's always a good idea to call ahead, especially for large pieces that need to be brought in for inspection. Many shops in Des Moines can do quick estimates over the phone or from photos, but an in-person look gives you the most accurate quote.
