About TJR Furniture

TJR Furniture operates in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, offering both furniture reupholstery and furniture repair to customers across the city and surrounding neighborhoods. Pittsburgh's housing stock includes a lot of older homes, which means there's a steady supply of furniture worth repairing or refreshing rather than replacing. A shop that handles both reupholstery and structural repair is particularly useful in that environment. Whether you've got a cracked frame, torn upholstery, or both, this type of shop can address the whole piece rather than just one part of it.

Services & Process

Reupholstery work covers the full process of stripping old fabric, replacing worn foam and padding, and applying new upholstery material to chairs, sofas, loveseats, and sectionals. Furniture repair tackles the structural side, including fixing broken frames, reinforcing loose joints, replacing damaged legs, and addressing spring systems that have failed over time. Doing both together is important because putting new fabric on a structurally compromised piece just delays the inevitable. Customers who bring in pieces with both problems can get everything resolved in a single visit rather than making multiple stops.

Service Area

TJR Furniture serves customers throughout Pittsburgh and the surrounding Allegheny County communities. The shop draws clients from neighborhoods across the city including the East End, South Hills, and North Side, as well as suburban areas like Monroeville, Swissvale, and Edgewood.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you repair and reupholster a piece at the same time?
Yes, and doing both together is usually the most efficient approach. The frame repairs happen first, so the new upholstery goes onto a structurally sound base rather than covering up problems that'll resurface later.
My sofa cushions have gone flat. Can that be fixed without full reupholstery?
In many cases, yes. If the fabric is still in good condition, a shop can open the cushion covers, replace the foam or add a layer of new padding, and resew the covers closed. It's a much less expensive fix than full reupholstery.
How do I get a price estimate for reupholstery work in Pittsburgh?
Most shops will ask you to bring in the piece or share clear photos so they can assess the size, complexity, and condition before quoting. Prices vary significantly based on the type of furniture, the fabric you choose, and whether any structural repairs are needed.
Is it possible to change the style of a piece during reupholstery, like adding tufting?
Skilled upholsterers can make style changes like adding button tufting, changing the cushion configuration, or modifying the arm style during the process. These changes add to the cost and complexity, but they're a great way to modernize an older piece.
What should I look for when choosing an upholstery shop in Pittsburgh?
Look for a shop that will let you see examples of finished work and that's willing to walk you through the process before you commit. A shop that handles both upholstery and structural repair is also worth prioritizing so you're not dealing with two different businesses for the same piece.
Can older sectional sofas be reupholstered?
Yes, sectionals can absolutely be reupholstered, though they take more time and fabric than a standard sofa because of their size. Some shops will allow you to do one section at a time if budget is a concern, as long as you're using the same fabric throughout.
