Fabric selection guidance is part of the service, helping customers choose materials that match both their taste and how the piece will be used.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you reupholster a sectional sofa?
Yes, sectionals can be reupholstered, though they require more fabric and labor than standard sofas given their size. Most shops ask you to bring in one section at a time or arrange a pickup to manage the logistics of large pieces.
What fabrics are best for homes with pets?
Tightly woven fabrics with a smooth surface are harder for pet hair to cling to and hold up better against claws. Look for performance fabrics labeled pet-friendly, and avoid loosely woven textures like bouclé or velvet if scratching is a concern.
Do you offer commercial upholstery services for businesses?
Many upholstery shops serve commercial clients including restaurants, hotels, offices, and healthcare facilities. These projects often involve coordinating fabric across multiple pieces for a consistent look, and experienced shops can handle large orders efficiently.
How do I know how much fabric is needed for a project?
Your upholsterer will calculate yardage based on the size of the piece and the pattern repeat of your chosen fabric. Fabrics with large or directional patterns require extra yardage to ensure the pattern lines up correctly, so ask about this before finalizing your selection.
Is it possible to change the style of a piece while reupholstering it?
Some style changes are possible during reupholstery, such as tufting a previously plain cushion or adding contrast welting. Major structural style changes are more complex, so discuss what you're envisioning with the upholsterer during the estimate stage.
What happens if my furniture has water or smoke damage?
Water damage can affect foam and internal materials as well as fabric, so the shop may need to replace more than just the outer covering. Smoke odors can penetrate deep into padding, and thorough replacement of internal materials is often the only lasting fix.
