Frequently Asked Questions

Does Total Upholstery work on antique or vintage furniture?
Many upholstery shops in the Waterford area handle antique pieces, and the process involves careful disassembly to preserve original frames and joinery. It's worth discussing the piece's history and your goals upfront so the right materials and techniques are used.
Can they match the original fabric on my car seats?
Exact OEM fabric matches aren't always possible, but experienced auto upholstery shops can often source period-correct materials or find very close alternatives. Bringing in a sample or detailed photos of the original helps the shop find the best available option.
How long does a typical furniture reupholstery job take in Waterford?
A single chair or ottoman might be done in three to five business days, while a sofa or sectional often takes one to two weeks once the fabric arrives. Turnaround also depends on how busy the shop is at the time you bring your piece in.
Is it worth reupholstering old furniture instead of buying new?
For solid-frame pieces like hardwood sofas, quality dining chairs, or well-built recliners, reupholstery is almost always more cost-effective than replacing with comparable quality. The math changes for low-quality furniture where the frame itself isn't worth saving.
What types of vehicles do auto upholstery shops typically work on?
Most shops handle passenger cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans for both daily drivers and classic or custom builds. Some also work on motorcycles, ATVs, and convertible tops depending on their equipment and experience.
Do I need to remove my car seats before bringing the vehicle in?
In most cases you don't. The shop will remove and reinstall seats as part of the job, which is actually safer since improper seat reinstallation can affect airbag systems. Just confirm this with the shop when you book your appointment.
