• <div><p>Pros cover many fixes, from upholstery renewals to joint reinforcement.</p></div>

Q: What should I look for in a professional upholsterer?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth reupholstering an old or antique chair?

• <div><p>Reupholstering an old or antique chair can be worthwhile if the frame is still sturdy and the piece has sentimental or monetary value. Reupholstery often costs less than buying a high-quality new chair, and you can customize the look. However, extensive repairs or rare fabrics may increase the total cost.</p></div>
