"The whole process was great! Eddie, the owner of Di Carlo Upholstery in Weymouth, is a hard working, honest man who provides great attention to detail with excellent craftsmanship and creative problem solving ideas. It was our 1st time working with Eddie and it was an easy process and a pleasure. Eddie came to meet us, see our couch and bring up some samples after a long day at work. He gave of his time and ideas. There was no rush. Eddie told us 2 weeks to get the couch done and that was exactly when it was finished. He communicated with us throughout that time by text with questions and pictures and by phone calls. The whole process moved along in a timely fashion and was completed on time. Eddie delivered our 2 seat leather couch reupholstered with fabric cushions and a custom designed couch back cover and arm covers. All covers can be flipped over behind the couch thereby hiding the covers while company is there. At other times the covers can be brought back down to cover the back and arms which helps to protect the couch from 2 dogs and 2 cats. It was a creative solution mutually designed and carried out very well. We are very pleased with our "new" leather couch and highly recommended Eddie and DiCarlo Upholstery."

"So happy we selected Infusion Furniture for our custom corner TV electronics console. Quentin is a master craftsman and very professional. He arrived at our beautiful home for a site survey, offered a quote on the spot and we had time to review the SOW ( scope) and agreed on approval of drawings before he started. Love the finished product. Final advice... Use Infusion."

He worked efficiently in some tight quarters and kept everything clean at the end of each day. We are thrilled with the finished product."

Upholstering questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

It is often worthwhile to refinish or restore furniture, especially for high-quality, older, antique, or sentimental pieces. Older furniture tends to have better durability than modern, mass-produced items, and refinishing can cost about one-third of the price of replacement. To determine if it's cost-effective, compare quotes from local refinishing services with the price of a new, similar piece. Refinishing can refresh a piece's look and extend its lifespan. However, it may not be worth it for newer furniture made of medium-density fiberboard (MDF) or plywood, or for items with major structural damage. A professional can help you assess the piece and decide on the best course of action.

Interior and exterior door openings are typically 80 inches high, with openings 29¼ 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.

The average cost to reupholster a piece of furniture is around $720, with most projects falling in the $380 to $1,150 range. The final price can vary significantly based on several factors. These include the size and complexity of the furniture, the cost of the new fabric (which typically ranges from $50 to $70 per yard), and hourly labor rates (often $40 to $100 per hour). Additional factors that influence the price are the piece's current condition, its age, whether it needs other repairs, the number of pieces being reupholstered, and your geographic location.
