Frequently Asked Questions

Is it worth reupholstering a recliner, or should I just buy a new one?
It depends on the quality of the recliner's frame and mechanism. High-end recliners with solid frames are usually worth reupholstering since the mechanical parts often outlast the fabric by many years. Budget recliners with worn-out mechanisms may not justify the cost. A shop can take a look and give you an honest answer based on what they see.
What's the difference between reupholstering and slip-covering?
Reupholstering involves removing and replacing the actual fabric covering the furniture, which gives a fitted, permanent result. Slip covers are removable fabric covers that go over existing upholstery, which are easier to wash but often look less tailored. For pieces you plan to keep long-term, reupholstering almost always gives a better finished appearance.
Can you reupholster a sectional sofa as a complete set?
Yes, sectionals can be reupholstered in a single coordinated fabric to ensure the panels match seamlessly. It's actually easier to ensure a consistent look when the whole piece is done at the same time rather than trying to add sections later. Plan for a longer turnaround on sectionals since they involve significantly more material and labor.
How do I know if a furniture frame is solid enough to be worth reupholstering?
Frames made from hardwoods like oak, maple, or birch are generally excellent candidates for reupholstery. Frames built with stapled or glued particleboard usually aren't worth the investment since they tend to degrade further over time. The upholstery shop can assess the frame when you bring the piece in and give you a straightforward recommendation.
What happens to the old fabric after reupholstery?
The old fabric is typically removed and disposed of by the shop, which is part of the standard process. If you'd like to keep it for any reason, mention that when you drop off the piece. Some customers hold on to original fabric from antiques or heirloom pieces for reference or sentimental value.
Do I need an appointment to bring in a piece for an estimate?
Calling ahead is always a good idea, especially for large pieces that require time to look over properly. Some shops can do walk-in estimates when they're not slammed, but scheduling a time means you'll get their full attention without waiting. A quick phone call before you load up your truck can save you a wasted trip.
