"This is the second time I have used Jon for reupholstery projects. Both times his work has been excellent, and I have been delighted with the results. He takes pride in his work and gets the job done promptly. This time the chairs were refinished in a matter of days and they look brand new. He was very helpful and flexible in scheduling times for pick-up and delivery of the furniture. I highly recommend him."

"Leo Palociosa is an amazing upholstery person -in fact he is an ARTIST! He truly listens to you and came with the right samples I picked my fabric from the first book. He thoughtfully sent photos of the work in process of my 4 piece sectional giving special attention and detail to strengthening my 30 yr old frames..Needless to say the workmanship is beyond outstanding. This was the most stress free experience .Upon delivery he and his staff were as proud as I was of the beautiful "better than new "sofas... I have already recommended him to friends snd would most surely use his services again in the future! Bonnie A in White Plains NY Project: Upholster Furniture"

"Found Mr. Palacios' business in the yellow pages, phoned and e-mailed pictures, upon which he gave me a provisional estimate (might have varied based on foam or frame condition.) When he saw the chairs, the estimate stuck. He offered to have the furniture back to me in two weeks and they were delivered almost to the day. Amazing!!! Very professional gentleman. All transactions documented with written estimate and receipts for down payment and final payment. Mr. Palacios is fluent in English and Spanish and was most responsive to some scheduling problems we had, by phone and e-mail. I HIGHLY recommend this gentleman and his business."

"I called to set up an appointment for an estimate on bedroom carpeting and shutters for bedroom windows. I was given an appointment quickly. Mike, the company's expert representatve, measured the bedroom for carpeting and measured the windows for the shutters. He showed me carpet samples and the various shutter designs available. He took ample time to explain the different options available and guided me through the selection process making sure that I selected the best options for my needs and decor preferences.
He did not pressure me to make a sale and was very patient in listening to my concerns and answered all my questions. He gave me an estimate and that was the price I paid. There were no additional costs. I made a down payment and was not charged the balance until the jobs were satisfactorilycompleted.
The carpeting was installed on the date I requested.  The installers arrived on time and quickly got to work removing the old carpeting and installing the new carpeting. They cleaned up after themselves and hauled away the old carpeting and debris.
The shutters were custom made for my windows and it took about a week for them to be ready for installation. Mike did the installation and because of the uneveness of the bedroom walls had to do some extra work to make sure the shutters were installed perfectly so the installation took more time than expected. Mike is a perfectionist and wants to make sure his customer is absolutely happy with the final result. I was very happy with the services of 1ST Class Carpet & WindowServices and I plan to use them again in the future."

Upholstering questions, answered by experts

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.

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

Yes, you can reupholster antique furniture, and it’s a great way to extend the life of your pieces and keep them looking fresh and new for years to come. In fact, since reupholstering furniture is significantly more affordable than replacing it, reviving antique furniture can be a cost-effective way to keep that family heirloom usable for much longer. It’s usually a good idea to leave antique reupholstering to a professional, as they will have the tools and expertise to ensure the piece isn’t damaged and looks professionally finished.

Upholstery reduces waste sent to landfills, limits resource consumption, and supports sustainable living practices, provided fabrics meet standards.

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.
