Q: Can you reupholster over old material?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;t possible. You can ask your professional to see if this is an option for your piece.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth repairing leather furniture, or should I replace it?

• <div><p>It is generally worth repairing leather furniture rather than replacing it, as it is typically more affordable and the material tends to retain its value. A typical repair averages around $250, which is significantly less than the thousands of dollars a replacement could cost. Even a full reupholstering, which can cost up to $4,000, may still be more economical than buying new. With proper care, repaired leather furniture can last for many years, making the investment worthwhile. However, if the underlying structure or frame of the furniture is damaged or malfunctioning, replacement might be a better option. The quality of the leather and the furniture piece are also important factors. For a definitive answer, it is best to consult a leather repair professional to assess your specific situation.</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: Can I reupholster my own furniture?

• <div><p>Doing your own upholstery work is possible, but it&rsquo;s typically a better idea to leave the work to professionals. Without experience and the proper tools, it&rsquo;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&rsquo;t get the fabric to look right. If you have reupholstery experience, feel free to give it a shot. However, if you&rsquo;re not confident in your skill level or you&rsquo;re working with antiques, it&rsquo;s worth the money to hire a pro.</p></div>

Q: What types of furniture repairs do professionals handle?
