"One of the worst experiences with a company I’ve ever had. Next to no communication with management when it wasn’t about collecting money for the job. Of which they claimed I owed $600 more than what I made a 50% down payment on initially due to measurement errors they never provided me proof for, then conveniently “forgave” as I paid the second half once the job was “completed”. Only a few weeks later we have pieces coming off in our kitchen and bathroom (pictured below) and this is after multiple visits they scheduled as “repairs”. In actuality we were left with unfinished flooring downstairs and unfinished carpet upstairs not even allowing us to use our upstairs bathroom through Christmas while we had family visiting. To be clear, I think this is primarily a management issue and they don’t deserve business if they’re going to charge thousands and thousands of dollars to facilitate flooring being put in slow, sloppy, while simultaneously attempting to seemingly collect extra money only to let it go once they realize the job was done horribly. Instead of calling them back to have a 3rd “repair” for a job done less than a month ago, I’d rather let anyone know who reads this that your money is almost certainly going to be better spent somewhere else."

Upholstering questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 movers and the services 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’t forget to take plenty of pictures documenting the pre-move condition in case you need to file a claim.
