CUSTOM UPHOLSTERY AND CUSTOM HEADBOARDS..CUSTOM OTTOMANS..DRAPERIES,AND BEDDING..TYPICALLY ANYTHING THAT INVOLVES HOME INTERIOR WITH FABRICS WE CAN HANDLE...

"I found Troy when I googled “Upholstery “. I called him and I immediately knew I had the right guy for the job. I sent him a pic of the sofa and chair and he texted back an estimate. He came that very afternoon and picked up the 2 pieces and then delivered them when finished for a very small fee, which made everything so much easier for me as it was a 200 mile round trip twice. Upon discussion, he determined which Sample Books to bring. He answered all my questions regarding the fabrics. He was professional and personable and the turn-around time was less than 3 weeks. I knew I had made the best and right decision by entrusting Troy with my sofa and chair. I highly recommend him. The finished product is beautiful and I’m very happy! Geri P"

Upholstering questions, answered by experts

As with any project, weighing the pros and cons of upholstery can help determine if that is the right choice for you. The ultimate question is whether it’s worth reupholstering instead of buying new furniture. Here are a few of the benefits and disadvantages of reupholstering a piece of furniture.

Pros:

  • Preserving a family heirloom

  • Maintaining high-quality furniture in good condition

  • Reinventing an old piece of furniture

  • Keeping a piece of furniture from going to a landfill

Cons:

  • Spending (possibly) more than to buy a new piece of furniture

  • Finding out the frame is beyond repair

  • Waiting for the reupholstery work to be done

When hiring an upholsterer, look for a pro with experience in your chair type, positive reviews, and a portfolio of completed projects. Ask about their process, timeline, warranty, and whether they are insured. Getting multiple quotes from reupholsterers in your area and checking their references can help ensure quality and fair pricing.

Costs depend on fabric choice, furniture size, cushioning, and labor. For significant projects, expect estimates between $350 and $1,200.

Doing your own upholstery work is possible, but it’s typically a better idea to leave the work to professionals. Without experience and the proper tools, it’s difficult to get a professionally finished appearance for your furniture, and many DIYers end up spending money on tools and materials only to hire a professional when they can’t get the fabric to look right. If you have reupholstery experience, feel free to give it a shot. However, if you’re not confident in your skill level or you’re working with antiques, it’s worth the money to hire a pro.

Not always—heavily worn or broken furniture often isn’t worth repairing or refinishing (if it’s even possible). While some damage can be repaired and some of the visual appeal restored, major flaws, such as structural issues, can’t be fixed as easily. If you still want a cost-saving furniture refinishing project rather than purchasing all new, consider shopping for similar secondhand pieces at thrift stores, garage sales, and estate sales.
