Services

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery is the core offering here, covering everything from dining chairs and sofas to headboards and ottomans. The process typically involves removing old fabric or leather, inspecting and replacing worn padding or springs, then applying new material with clean, tight seams. Because they operate within a broader furniture business, fabric selection tends to be more varied than you'd find at a standalone shop. Customers can often match new upholstery to existing pieces in a room, which interior designers working across the western Chicago suburbs find particularly useful.

Service Area

The shop serves Lombard and the surrounding DuPage County communities, including Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Villa Park, and Addison. Customers from Carol Stream and Bloomingdale also make the trip regularly. It's a central location that's easy to reach from most of the western suburbs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does furniture reupholstery typically take in Lombard?
Most standard pieces like sofas or chairs take one to three weeks depending on the shop's current workload and fabric availability. More complex jobs, like tufted sectionals or pieces needing frame repairs, can take longer, so it's worth asking for a specific timeline when you drop off.
Is it worth reupholstering an older sofa instead of buying new?
It often is, especially if the frame is solid hardwood and the piece has sentimental value or good bones. A quality reupholstery job on a well-built sofa can extend its life by 10 to 15 years, which frequently costs less than buying a comparable new piece.
Can I supply my own fabric for the job?
Many shops will work with customer-supplied fabric, but you'll want to confirm yardage requirements before you buy. Bring a swatch or measurements to your consultation so the shop can advise on how much you'll need.
Do they work on commercial furniture, or just residential pieces?
Shops connected to a full furniture business often handle both residential and commercial work. Restaurant booths, office chairs, and lobby seating are all common commercial jobs that reupholstery shops in the Lombard area take on.
What types of fabric hold up best for a sofa with kids and pets?
Performance fabrics like Sunbrella, crypton, or tightly woven microfibers tend to resist stains and wear better than standard upholstery textiles. Your upholsterer can point you toward options that balance durability with the look you're going for.
Can a reupholsterer fix broken springs or a sagging seat, or is that a separate repair?
Cushion and spring work is typically part of the reupholstery process. A good shop will inspect the underlying structure when they strip the piece and quote you on any foam replacement or spring tying that's needed before applying new fabric.
