Q: What are the benefits of upholstering furniture instead of replacing it?

• <div><p>Upholstering allows personalization, extends furniture life, conserves resources, refreshes decor, and often costs less than buying new pieces.</p></div>

Q: What else should I consider when I ship my bedroom furniture?

• <div><p>You should consider the time needed to clean and prepare your bedroom set for transit. A few days before moving, vacuum, dust, and clean your furniture with a mild cleaning solution. Depending on the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-services-you-didnt-know-movers-offer.htm">movers and the services</a> you pick, you might need to pre-pack the mattress and box spring in boxes designed for beds and disassemble some furniture by removing doors and hardware. Finally, don&rsquo;t forget to take plenty of pictures documenting the pre-move condition in case you need to file a claim.</p></div>

Q: What is the best material to wrap furniture?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: How do you know which upholstery company to hire?

• <div><p>Paying to reupholster a piece of furniture means you want to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/should-i-hire-upholstery-pro-my-furniture.htm">hire the right upholstery service</a>, especially for a piece that&rsquo;s expensive or carries a lot of sentimental value. In your search for the right upholstery company, be sure to:</p><ul><li><p>Ask around to see if friends or family know of any upholsterers</p></li><li><p>Find reviews of the company or individual</p></li><li><p>Look at the photo gallery of their work to see if they work on furniture like yours and if you like their work</p></li><li><p>Check qualifications and references</p></li><li><p>Ask the upholstery service if they work on furniture like yours, what their schedule looks like, how they handle payments, and how long the job will take</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How long does it take to reupholster furniture?

• <div><p>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.</p><p>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.</p></div>

From start to finish it was a wonderful experience. Jeremy and Carol were very professional and respectful of my house. They put plastic up to keep the rest of the house clean and filtered the paint fumes out the window. I love the results of my kitchen update! It looks so clean and bright.

Paying to reupholster a piece of furniture means you want to hire the right upholstery service, especially for a piece that’s expensive or carries a lot of sentimental value. In your search for the right upholstery company, be sure to:

Look at the photo gallery of their work to see if they work on furniture like yours and if you like their work
Check qualifications and references
Ask the upholstery service if they work on furniture like yours, what their schedule looks like, how they handle payments, and how long the job will take
