Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery means more than just swapping out fabric. A skilled shop like WingBack will strip a piece down to its frame, inspect and repair the internal structure, replace worn padding and springs, and then apply new fabric or leather with precision stitching. This process works for sofas, armchairs, dining chairs, ottomans, and headboards. Customers typically bring in heirloom pieces or high-quality furniture that's worth saving rather than replacing. The fabric selection process is a key part of the service, helping you match your existing decor or go in a fresh direction.

Service Area

WingBack serves customers in Irwin and across Westmoreland County, including nearby communities like North Huntingdon, Jeannette, and Greensburg. The shop is also accessible to residents coming from the eastern Pittsburgh suburbs along the Route 30 and Route 22 corridors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it worth reupholstering an old sofa instead of buying a new one?
It depends on the quality of the frame. If the sofa has a solid hardwood frame and good bones, reupholstering can cost less than a comparable new piece while giving you exactly the look you want. Cheap particle-board frames generally aren't worth the investment.
How long does furniture reupholstery typically take?
A standard chair might take a week or two, while a large sectional or detailed piece with tufting could take three to four weeks. Turnaround also depends on the shop's current schedule, so it's smart to ask for an estimated timeline when you drop off your piece.
Can I bring my own fabric to an upholstery shop?
Most shops will work with customer-supplied fabric, but you'll want to confirm this ahead of time. Keep in mind that if you provide the material, the shop won't be responsible for any issues that stem from fabric that's too thin, too thick, or otherwise unsuitable for the piece.
What types of furniture can be reupholstered?
Most upholstered furniture can be worked on, including sofas, loveseats, armchairs, dining chairs, ottomans, benches, and headboards. As long as the frame is structurally sound, there's a good chance it can be given new life with fresh fabric and padding.
How do I choose the right fabric for my furniture?
Think about how the piece is used. High-traffic items like family room sofas do best with tightly woven, stain-resistant fabrics. Decorative pieces in a formal room give you more flexibility to use delicate or textured materials. A good upholsterer will walk you through samples and help you find something that matches both your style and your lifestyle.
Do upholstery shops in the Irwin area offer pickup and delivery?
Some shops offer this service for larger items like sectionals or bulky armchairs, though it may come at an additional cost. It's worth asking when you call, especially if you don't have a vehicle that can handle transporting a large piece.
