We have put together a collection of the finest craftsmen in the area. Our goal is to offer you the very best quality and service possible at a price you can afford, without sacrificing quality. In-home repairs offered: Most people don't know the level of repair that is possible. Frequently, we have customers tell us "I'm pretty sure it's ruined and you can't fix it." Often, in less time than people think, we can repair the damage. Just because it looks bad, does not mean it is. In most instances, work is finished for less than one would expect: structural repairs, chair re-gluing, drawer repairs, hinge replacement, mechanism replacement on chairs and recliners, hand stitch repair to blown out seams in upholstered furniture, leather repair & recoloring dent and ding repair, color replacement, and antique refinishing. In-Shop Furniture Repair: We are the experts at giving you the very best quality repairs possible.

It is always a wonderful feeling to see a customer look at a piece of furniture, they thought was destroyed, repaired and in better condition than it was originally. Very few pieces are truly beyond repair, although it is occasionally more cost effective to replace a piece than it is to repair, more often than not it is less expensive to do the repair. Custom builds: We are always willing to work with our customers to give them the most cost effective repair. Custom Built cabinets, fireplaces, and furniture. When you just cannot find what you are looking for, or want that custom look that no one else has, we can help. We will work with you on every aspect of the project from initial design, wood selection, to finding the perfect finish and hardware. Too many of our customers have family heirlooms that are just rotting in a corner of the basement, because they are not in good enough condition for display. We repeatedly find that once these pieces have been repaired and refinished they become the center of attention, displayed proudly in the customer’s home. We can offer you a choice of options from touching up the color and giving the piece a fresh coat of finish, to refinishing in some of the most durable finishes on the market today.

"Very quick and professional."

Upholstering questions, answered by experts

When deciding whether to reupholster, repair, or replace old furniture, consider its age, level of wear and tear, and overall value. It’s usually better to repair old furniture because older pieces tend to be made out of hardwood, like oak and maple, whereas newer furniture is more often made out of plywood, medium-density fiberboard (MDF), and other less durable materials. When determining whether it’s worth the price to repair a furniture item, calculate the price of buying a new, similar piece and compare that to quotes from local furniture repair services.

The time to reupholster a chair varies by the type and the project’s complexity. Simple dining chairs may take a few hours, while larger or more intricate chairs like wingbacks can take several days. Most professional upholsterers complete the job within one to two weeks, including material sourcing and scheduling.

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.

In most cases, it is more affordable to reupholster furniture than it is to replace it, but it depends on the quality and age of the furniture you’re considering getting reupholstered. Antique pieces are always worth reupholstering, as it’s the only way to preserve the piece and extend its life. Newer pieces of furniture are more often made using lower-quality materials like medium-density fiberboard or plywood that don’t have the same lifespan as things like hardwood. For newer pieces, your furniture reupholstery specialist should be able to help you determine the best course of action.

Part of the beauty of academia decor is that most textures and materials will feel right at home, provided they’re dark. Some common textures include natural wood, dark metals like iron, velvet, and leather. Incorporating these into your dark academia decor will make them look right at home. Glass is another option in some cases, so fill in gaps in your decor with small glass jars, or really lean on the gothic roots of dark academia with stained glass.
