Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of furniture does Victor's Upholstery work on?
The shop handles a wide range of seating and upholstered pieces, including sofas, armchairs, dining chairs, ottomans, and headboards. If it has fabric or foam that needs replacing, it's likely something they can work with.
How do I choose the right fabric for my furniture?
The best fabric depends on how the piece is used and where it's placed. High-traffic seating benefits from tightly woven, high-rub-count fabrics, while decorative pieces in lower-use rooms can handle more delicate options. The shop can walk you through what makes sense for your situation.
Can Victor's Upholstery replace just the cushion foam without redoing the whole piece?
In many cases, yes. If the fabric is still in good shape but the cushions have gone flat or lumpy, replacing the foam inserts alone can make a big difference. Ask when you call to find out if that's an option for your specific piece.
What's the difference between reupholstery and slipcovers?
Reupholstery means permanently replacing the fabric by taking the piece apart and rebuilding it with new material, resulting in a tailored fit. Slipcovers are removable fabric covers that go over existing upholstery, which is less permanent but also less refined in appearance.
How do I transport a large sofa to an upholstery shop?
Most customers use a rental truck or ask a friend with a van or truck. Some upholstery shops offer pickup services for an added fee, so it's worth asking before you figure out your own transport. Bring measurements of any tight doorways or stairwells so the shop can advise.
Will the shop match my existing fabric if I only need a section replaced?
Matching existing fabric is difficult because dye lots change and fabrics get discontinued. In most cases, a partial reupholstery will look noticeably different from the original unless the full piece is done. A good upholsterer will be honest with you about whether a partial job will look right.
