"They showed up on time. She told me during the estimate, "The couch is worn in many spots. We can get it clean and remove most of the stains, but only re-upholstering will make it look new." The couch was really dirty, rough looking and stained. It is now clean, virtually unstained, and I am happy with their results. She did not over promise, and I appreciate that."
"The whole experience was great from beginning to end. It was easy to get an appointment. They showed up exactly when they said they would. The repair man fixed a ripped seam on my leather couch and you can't even tell where the rip ever was. Incidentally, I asked him for advice about getting some of the cushions re-stuffed, and he gave me very simple instructions on how to do it myself. He said, I can do it for you, of course - but it will be expensive. And it's simple for you to do it. During the same visit, he also addressed various damage areas on a dresser that's been in our family for a long time. It looks beautiful. I was pleased enough with the service that I have asked for a quote on an additional upholstery job that I have. It's much more extensive - something that will have to be done in the shop vs. an in-home visit. I'll write another review after I go through that experience. But based on my service today I would highly recommend this business.
Update: I went ahead with the additional upholstery job and was - again - highly satisfied. This involved upholstering a victorian chair from 1880. The experience was so easy - they came and picked up the chair. They offered fabric selections, but I was looking for something more specific. I ordered my own, had it delivered to their workshop and they delivered the chair when it was done. The finished product looks absolutely amazing.
I highly recommend this business - they were professional, offered great service, and have talented craftsmen on their staff."
"Mr. Townsend is an absolute professional to work with. He arrived at my residence on time and listened very carefully as to what I needed to have him do. After discussing the desired work, Mr. Townsend set to work cleaning the white bedroom carpeting first, followed by the two upholstered chairs. He's a "one man show" and does his very professionally and meticulously. I couldn't be happier with the results and there was no clean up afterwards! Mr. Townsend is easy to work with, punctual, a fair in pricing. I would definitely call upon him in the future and recommend him to relatives and friends."

Upholstering allows personalization, extends furniture life, conserves resources, refreshes decor, and often costs less than buying new pieces.
It is often worthwhile to refinish or restore furniture, especially for high-quality, older, antique, or sentimental pieces. Older furniture tends to have better durability than modern, mass-produced items, and refinishing can cost about one-third of the price of replacement. To determine if it's cost-effective, compare quotes from local refinishing services with the price of a new, similar piece. Refinishing can refresh a piece's look and extend its lifespan. However, it may not be worth it for newer furniture made of medium-density fiberboard (MDF) or plywood, or for items with major structural damage. A professional can help you assess the piece and decide on the best course of action.
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.
The time required to reupholster furniture depends on the item's size, complexity, and condition. The hands-on work can range from 2-3 hours for a simple dining chair to 10 to 20 hours for a large sofa. The total project timeline with a professional, including fabric sourcing and scheduling, typically ranges from one to three weeks.
Several factors can affect the timeline. Antique furniture often takes longer due to the delicate care required. If additional repairs are needed, such as sanding or refinishing wood components, the process will also take more time. A DIY reupholstery project will usually take significantly longer than a professional job.
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.
