Frequently Asked Questions

Can outdoor or lake house furniture be reupholstered in Canandaigua?
Yes, and it's a common request in the Finger Lakes area where seasonal properties are widespread. Upholsterers can source outdoor-rated or moisture-resistant fabrics that hold up to humidity, UV exposure, and the wear that comes with lake life.
How far in advance should I schedule a reupholstery job in Canandaigua?
Smaller shops can sometimes fit you in within a week or two, but it's smart to call a few weeks ahead, especially during spring and summer when demand picks up among seasonal residents. Getting on the schedule early avoids delays if you're working toward a deadline.
Is there a difference between reupholstering and refurbishing furniture?
Reupholstering specifically refers to replacing the fabric or leather covering on a piece, along with padding and internal support if needed. Refurbishing is a broader term that can include refinishing wood frames, fixing joints, or repainting, so the scope depends on what work is actually being done.
Can boat cushions be reupholstered at a furniture upholstery shop?
Some furniture upholsterers also handle marine upholstery, but it's worth asking specifically since marine work requires different materials and techniques than standard home furniture. If the shop doesn't do marine work, they can often point you to a local specialist.
What should I do if my furniture has water damage before bringing it in?
Let the shop know about any water damage when you call, since it may affect the frame or internal padding and add to the scope of the project. Dried-out or mold-affected foam typically needs to be replaced, which the upholsterer will factor into the estimate.
Can I get a fabric sample to take home before committing?
Most upholstery shops will let you take swatches home so you can see how the fabric looks in your actual lighting and next to your existing decor. It's a smart step before committing to a fabric, since colors can look quite different under store lighting versus natural light.
