Is it better to reupholster or replace furniture?

• <div><p>In most cases, it is more affordable to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/consider-reupholstery-instead-new-furniture.htm">reupholster furniture than it is to replace it</a>, 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.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth reupholstering an old couch instead of buying new?

• <div><p>Reupholstering is often worthwhile for high-quality, antique, or sentimental couches, especially if the frame is sturdy. It can cost less than buying a comparable new piece and allows for customization, but may not be cost-effective for low-end furniture. </p></div>

Q: What size sofa fits through a standard door?

• <div><p>Interior and exterior door openings are typically 80 inches high, with openings 29&frac14; inches wide for interior doors and 35 inches wide for exterior doors. If your couch is smaller than these measurements, it should fit through the door frame.</p></div>

Q: What does it mean if a couch feels crusty after cleaning it?

• <div><p>If your usually super soft couch feels crusty and rough after cleaning, it could be that you haven&rsquo;t removed the cleaning product properly, you used too much, or you applied the wrong type. Always check the couch tags to select the right cleaning product, read application instructions carefully, and test on an inconspicuous corner. For fabrics such as microfiber, you can soften and fluff crusty fibers using a soft-bristled brush.</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>

Hands down the most professional company I have ever hired. Jonathan and his team went far and beyond making sure the jobs was done professionally and clean. Making sure all my furniture was covered and floors. He paining the inside of my house, outside, pressure washed my home and my driveway....

My move coordinator, Robert Arrowsmith, was amazing. Isaac's subcontracted to Shleppers Movers for the move from Long Island City. 3 movers showed up and were packed everything that hadn't been packed. They were courteous and effiicient. Movers from Isaac's delivered the furniture and were very...

Who says size counts? The people who did the work were amazing. They used their brains not brawn to move even the heaviest of items. Not one scratch on anything, appliances, walls, floors, nothing. To say these folks work hard is an understatement. They moved our goods from storage into our...

Al and his helper arrived on time every day. They were clean painters, and moved all the furniture to paint and then moved it back into place. They were so pleasant to have in my home and as much as I hated the ordeal, I honestly enjoyed them. The grand prize: Al did an outstanding paint...

Do not trust this company. Horrible. My brand new car was covered in pool plaster because they didn't move the machine to mix it and set it right next to my mustang in the drive way. Our furniture has spray deck all over it. And our patio has cement all over it

The young man showed up completely unprepared. He did a quick look around and asked what we were wanting done. Oddly enough, all he did was complain throughout the experience (he'll have to move furniture, etc.). He didn't even bring a pen or piece of paper with him and never quoted us a price....

The cleaning of my house was really just a superficial cleaning. They do not clean behind furniture (even the microwave) or dust in places higher than about 5 feet. They seem to merely wipe the shower floor and walls. The ladies go through the motions, cleaning the same places every time, with...
