"Incredible customer service throughout the entire experience.  I've never had anything upholstered before, and it was such a pleasant experience.  Variety of fabric selections at the store.  Chairs were reupholstered with new Sunbrella fabric and are so much more comfortable than before.  Will definitely recommend to friends and family, and we'll definitely use them again in the future!

"Larry and his team have a creative knack for upholstering and upgrading vintage and modern furniture. I trusted them with several Art Deco pieces, and they came back looking amazing! I have recommended this business to my friends, because their prices are reasonable and their work, outstanding."

"The final project came out great. The upholstery looked beautiful but the chairs came back all scratched. Like during transport they were not careful. That is not good customer service. They need to treat the merchandise with more care. It also took a long time but besides that it was fine. Thank you."

"Excellent service. They went above and beyond cleaning my carpets, easy chair and Roman shade. Helped with moving furniture and boxes out of way since we are elderly and could not do the heavy lifting. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this company."

"Nancy responded IMMEDIATELY upon seeing my post. A face-to face meeting followed shortly afterward, where she arrived with a grocery cart filled with fabric samples !! There was SO much to choose from! Once the fabric was selected, the loveseat was collected promptly and within little more than a week, returned to me—like new! Very nice attention to all the detail associated with upholstering."

Upholstering questions, answered by experts

It is possible to reupholster directly over old material in some cases, and it can save you a bit of money. If you are going to go this route, make sure you use a darker color than you had previously. Otherwise, you might see the old fabric beneath the new material. You should also keep in mind that reupholstering over old material is only possible with certain materials. For example, reupholstering over leather usually isn’t possible. You can ask your professional to see if this is an option for your piece.

To safeguard your furniture and upholstered items, it's best to use plastic wrap or specially-made plastic sofa covers. However, you should avoid wrapping wooden furniture in plastic if you plan on storing it, as plastic can trap moisture and warp the wood, plus it may damage certain finishes. In either case, old blankets or moving blankets make excellent alternatives. For protecting delicate glass table tops and mirrors, bubble wrap is always a reliable choice.

If your couch is damaged, you are not out of options. You might try fixing it on your own, bring in a furniture repair specialist, or opt to get rid of it responsibly. Depending on its condition, you could donate, sell, recycle, or drop it off at a local scrap facility.

Interior and exterior door openings are typically 80 inches high, with openings 29¼ inches wide for interior doors and 35 inches wide for exterior doors. If your couch is smaller than these measurements, it should fit through the door frame.

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
