"You never really know what you are going to get when you send some 'beloved' older furniture out the door. I got so much more than I could have imagined. Our former cherry dining room table now looks 'on trend' with its brown charcoal finish and the seats upholstered in grey linen just make it even more appealing. Great job all the way around, especially in our new open concept home. Really sets off the dining area! Secondly, our master suite was wearing out due to sun exposure on the edges and had generally dulled in appearance. It now looks brand new, but still has the patina of being well worn and loved. I couldn't be happier and it was so worth the wait. Thank you everyone at FinishPros for a fantastic end result and great overall experience. I will call you over and over again for myself and my clients. Patti Celestini Complement Your Space"

"Earl was quick to contact me after my search. He and Ava arrived on time, cleaned thoroughly and efficiently and took care of some specific spots and stains I pointed out. They cleaned all the rugs and upholstered furniture in our house. It feels great to have everything feeling so fresh!"

Upholstering questions, answered by experts

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.

You can make your dining room look more expensive using one or more of several methods. If you're remodeling, you can consider raising the ceiling height, installing an elegant chandelier, or redoing the floor. For smaller renovations, consider changing the paint color to a deep and rich tone, such as burgundy or emerald. You can also swap out the table and chairs to achieve a richer appearance. 

Yes, you can reupholster antique furniture, and it’s a great way to extend the life of your pieces and keep them looking fresh and new for years to come. In fact, since reupholstering furniture is significantly more affordable than replacing it, reviving antique furniture can be a cost-effective way to keep that family heirloom usable for much longer. It’s usually a good idea to leave antique reupholstering to a professional, as they will have the tools and expertise to ensure the piece isn’t damaged and looks professionally finished.

Ongoing maintenance of your leather furniture is the only way to prevent it from peeling and cracking. Real leather will peel and crack as it dries out. Leather conditioners are a great way to protect your leather furniture from drying out, and you’ll need to apply it about twice each year. It’s also a good idea to keep abrasive materials away from your leather to prevent cracking and peeling, including belt buckles, shoes, and multi-surface cleaners, especially those that contain alcohol.

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.

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.
