Family owned & operated. No subs. Cost is determined by the job. Free in-home consultations. Formerly known as Jerger Draperies-Blind & Shade Co. Our SHOWROOM hours are listed below. We are a custom made complete window covering company.

"This is my second comment/review on my purchase from Jerger and my experiences with this company keeps getting better. The windows in my living room are super large in both height and width (We need a 10-foot ladder to change out or charge a battery), 6 windows in all, motorized that blocks out all sun where the room is pitch black when closed (We have a very large caged parrot that lives in the room and if he doesn’t get his sleep he makes our life’s miserable). The expert salesperson could not have been more professional, pleasant, and knowledgeable. The installation of the blinds went quickly, the window covering was better than what I expected. A year and a half later one of the wand batteries went bad. I took the bad battery out of one of the blinds and put it into another just to be sure it was the battery that was defective not the motor. I called Jerger and explained the situation and what I had done to test the battery. Without hesitation he told me that he was ordering a new battery for me and a spare, no ands, ifs or buts it was done. No hassle, no delay, he confirmed that he would replace it immediately. He ordered the batteries and had them sent to my home. If We could give this company 10 stars we would. We would recommend them to everyone for their excellent product, great customer service, great after delivery customer service and follow through."

Upholstering questions, answered by experts

Before starting an upholstering project in Chicago, schedule consultations with multiple contractors and ask about their experience with local building types. Visit fabric showrooms to select durable materials suited to the city’s climate, and measure hallways and elevators for easy transport. Plan for extra time during busy seasons, clarify building access requirements, and document your furniture’s condition. Always secure a written agreement outlining project details and warranty terms.

Helpful?

In Chicago, hidden costs during upholstering projects often arise from repairing frames weakened by the city’s fluctuating humidity and older building stock. You may need extra fabric for matching patterns or for larger-scale furniture restoration. Additional fees can result from navigating high-rise building access, elevator reservations, or limited street parking. Upgrades to padding or springs for durability and charges for eco-friendly disposal of old materials are also common.

Helpful?

Upholstered furniture in Chicago benefits from weekly vacuuming to manage urban dust and allergens, plus annual deep cleaning to address city pollution and pet hair. Leather pieces need monthly conditioning due to winter dryness, while fabric furniture should be kept away from radiators and direct sunlight. Using a humidifier in winter and a dehumidifier in summer helps prevent cracking or mildew, extending the life of your furniture restoration efforts.

Helpful?

Chicago features a variety of upholstering professionals, including traditional furniture restoration shops skilled in antique pieces, custom upholsterers who collaborate with interior designers, and mobile repair services for on-site fixes. Some contractors focus on commercial, automotive, or marine upholstery, while larger furniture stores may offer in-house fabric repair and warranty services. Choosing the right specialist depends on your project’s style, material, and location.

Helpful?

In Chicago, reupholstering vintage or custom furniture can enhance your home’s resale appeal, especially in neighborhoods with historic architecture where buyers appreciate authentic details. Well-maintained upholstered furniture creates a polished look for staging and open houses. However, using trendy or unconventional fabrics may not appeal to all buyers, so opt for classic designs and quality materials to maximize the impact on your property’s marketability.
