"Our 4 dining chairs look beautiful, the workmanship is impeccable, & it was done in the time promised, way faster than I thought possible. I also like supporting small businesses that are local, especially when the price quoted is reasonable. This fits the bill on all counts; I couldn't be more pleased. Thank you, Loreto, for a job well done."

"The work that Art Wood Designs performed was beyond my expectations. They could not have been more enjoyable to work with and could not have done a better job. They define the phrase going the extra mile. I look forward to hiring them again."

"Jackie did an amazing job cleaning my sectional! The pricing was very fair, he was easy to work with, brought all of the necessary supplies, and cleaned everything up afterward. I honestly didn’t realize how badly my couch needed a deep cleaning until I saw the finished result. Between having two cats and years of buildup, my cream sectional looks so much better now. I would absolutely hire Jackie again and highly recommend the service!"

"Richard was very accommodating working me in to meet my move-in deadline. The technician called me with the 1.5 hour advance notice I requested within the window of time they provide. The technicians were very friendly and took the time to answer my questions regarding the cleaning method they offered. My carpets were not visibly soiled so I was surprised when the technician showed me how dirty the water was. The carpeted areas smell wonderful after the cleaning."

Upholstering questions, answered by experts

When deciding whether to repair, reupholster, or replace old furniture, consider its age, quality, level of wear, and overall value, including sentimental attachment. In many cases, it is more affordable to reupholster or repair furniture than to replace it, especially for antique, vintage, or discontinued pieces.

Older furniture is often made from durable hardwoods like oak and maple, giving it a longer lifespan than newer furniture, which frequently uses lower-quality materials such as plywood or medium-density fiberboard (MDF). Because of this, repairing or reupholstering a well-made older piece is often a worthwhile investment.

To determine the best course of action from a financial perspective, compare quotes from local furniture repair services with the price of a new, similar piece. Reupholstery may not be cost-effective for furniture that was originally inexpensive (e.g., under $300). For high-quality or sentimental items, however, it is an excellent way to preserve the piece and extend its life. If you're unsure, a furniture reupholstery specialist can help you evaluate the piece and make an informed decision.

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.

As with any project, weighing the pros and cons of upholstery can help determine if that is the right choice for you. The ultimate question is whether it’s worth reupholstering instead of buying new furniture. Here are a few of the benefits and disadvantages of reupholstering a piece of furniture.

Pros:

  • Preserving a family heirloom

  • Maintaining high-quality furniture in good condition

  • Reinventing an old piece of furniture

  • Keeping a piece of furniture from going to a landfill

Cons:

  • Spending (possibly) more than to buy a new piece of furniture

  • Finding out the frame is beyond repair

  • Waiting for the reupholstery work to be done

Furniture made from materials resistant to sun fading includes metals like aluminum, stainless steel, and wrought iron, as well as certain synthetic materials like polyethylene (commonly used in outdoor wicker furniture) and resin-based products. Glass tables and accents are also sun resistant. These materials inherently withstand UV rays and are less prone to fading or discoloration. Furniture with UV-resistant coatings or finishes, such as powder-coated metal or UV-protected plastics, offers enhanced protection against sun-induced fading.

Upholstering allows personalization, extends furniture life, conserves resources, refreshes decor, and often costs less than buying new pieces.
