Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery at We the People covers the full range of household seating and upholstered pieces, from sofas and loveseats to recliners, accent chairs, and bedroom benches. The work involves removing old fabric and padding, evaluating the frame and support systems, and rebuilding the piece from the inside out before applying new material. Fabric selection is a key part of the process, and customers choose from options ranging from budget-friendly polyester blends to higher-end upholstery-grade wovens and faux leathers. Custom seat and back cushion replacements are also available for pieces where only the padding has worn down.

Service Area

We the People Furniture Upholstery serves Bessemer, AL and the surrounding communities in Jefferson and Shelby counties. Customers from nearby towns like Midfield, Brighton, and McCalla are well within the shop's service reach.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a recliner be reupholstered?
Yes, recliners can be reupholstered, though they're more labor-intensive than standard chairs because of the mechanical components. The fabric has to be cut and fitted carefully around the reclining mechanism, which adds to the time and cost.
What's the difference between reupholstery and slipcovers?
Reupholstery replaces the actual fabric and padding sewn and tacked directly to the frame, giving a tailored, permanent result. Slipcovers are removable covers that fit over the existing fabric and are typically less expensive but don't hold as neatly.
Do you offer pickup and delivery for large furniture pieces?
Some upholstery shops do offer pickup and delivery for an added fee, especially for large or heavy pieces like sectionals. It's worth asking when you call, since options vary by shop.
How do I know if my furniture frame is worth reupholstering?
If the frame is solid hardwood and doesn't wobble or creak, it's almost always worth saving. Particle board or lightweight frames may not hold up as well after reupholstery, so a shop can help you evaluate this when you bring the piece in.
Can you match the original fabric pattern on my furniture?
An exact match to discontinued fabric is rarely possible, but a skilled upholsterer can find very close alternatives or help you choose something complementary. Bringing in a fabric swatch or photo of the original helps a lot.
Is reupholstery a good option for commercial furniture like office chairs or lobby seating?
Absolutely. Commercial property managers often find reupholstery more cost-effective than replacing entire sets of lobby chairs or conference room seating. Contract-grade fabrics designed for heavy use are available specifically for commercial applications.
