Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to reupholster a sofa in Montgomery, AL?
Sofa reupholstery in the Montgomery area typically runs between $600 and $1,500 depending on the size of the piece, the fabric chosen, and how much structural work the frame needs. Fabric cost alone can vary widely, from budget-friendly options around $15 per yard to premium or designer fabrics that cost significantly more.
Is it worth reupholstering an old sofa instead of buying a new one?
It often makes sense when the frame is solid hardwood and the piece has sentimental value or was originally high quality. A well-built older sofa reupholstered by a skilled craftsman will usually outlast and outperform a new piece at a similar price point.
How long does furniture reupholstery take?
Most standard pieces like armchairs or dining chairs take one to two weeks. Larger projects like full sofas or sectionals can take two to four weeks, especially if custom fabric needs to be ordered.
Do I need to bring my own fabric?
You can bring your own fabric if you have something specific in mind, but many upholsterers also carry or can source fabric for you. Just make sure any fabric you supply is upholstery-grade, since lighter decorator fabrics won't hold up to regular use.
Can a reupholsterer fix broken chair frames or springs?
Yes, frame repair and spring replacement are a normal part of the reupholstery process. A good craftsman will assess the structural condition before quoting so there are no surprises once the old fabric comes off.
How do I get a quote from a local upholstery shop in Montgomery?
The easiest approach is to call and describe the piece, then bring it in for an in-person estimate. Photos can help for a ballpark figure, but the upholsterer really needs to see the condition of the fabric, padding, and frame to give you an accurate price.
