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: How much does upholstery cost?

• <div><p>On average, the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/it-worth-cost-reupholster-old-furniture.htm">cost to reupholster furniture</a> is about <b>$720 per piece</b>. However the price range to upholster a piece of furniture varies widely from about $380 to $1,150 or more, depending on the material type and availability, repairs needed, and the complexity of the project. Fabric costs typically range from $50 to $70 per yard while the cost of labor runs from $40 to $100 per hour.</p></div>

Q: Can I supply my own fabric for chair reupholstery?

• <div><p>Many upholsterers allow you to provide your own fabric, which can help control costs and ensure you get the exact style you want. Some upholsterers offer a selection of fabrics to choose from, while others may require you to purchase it at a fabric store. Be sure to check with your upholsterer about fabric suitability, required yardage, and any additional fees for using customer-supplied materials.</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>

Jerry and crew went out of their way to paint our living, dining, & kitchen area. They moved furniture, filled holes in the walls, & even refinished part of our ceiling. They did all prep work necessary (sanding wall surfaces and filling in seams so there was no surface that didn’t have paint on...

Awful company! What’s the point of making an appt if you’re expected to sit on standby and verify you are home. They say the lazy tech will call you before coming, but don’t tell you that you are required to answer. So I put all my furniture on the beds only to have them say sorry you called me...

The biggest con is that they blew out vents but just left all the dust from the registers around the house so there was dust, bugs, and dirt on our beds, furniture, and living spaces. Paid more than I expected as well for how small my HVAC was too.

An interior designer helped me pick out colors. They helped us move furniture. The painters were very nice, easy to work with, and did a good job. They didn't use drop cloths so there was some clean up. They cleaned as needed. I would hire them again.
