"Quality is superb! Price reasonable! Last fall (2017) I had 2 large cushions with pleating reupholstered. The cushions went to a well made chair of the 50s era. The cushions look like they belong to the chair! I was so pleased with quality and workmanship that I returned this spring (2018) with 12 chair cushions that go to a 50s era Rod Iron Dining Room Set. Again! Very pleased with the outcome. Paul is what grew this country! He works from his home, he does quality work, gives CUSTOMER SERVICE.....all the things that a large company doesn't understand! I would recommend him to anyone that is interested in having the job done RIGHT the First Time! (Anyone over 50 understands that phrase!!!) Wish I had pictures to attach, but cushions are now out of state. Will provide pictures in a couple weeks!"

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.

The best way to test the quality of a leather couch is to put your hands on it. If the upholstery is soft and warm, that’s a good indication that the quality is higher. It should also smell like traditional leather. If it smells like chemicals, you’re probably dealing with low-grade leather.

The time to reupholster a couch often ranges from one to three weeks, depending on the upholsterer's workload, fabric availability, and the complexity of your couch. This breaks down between 10 and 20 hours if you hire a professional, or 20 to 40 hours if you DIY. Custom features or repairs may extend the timeline.

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.

On average, the cost to reupholster furniture is about $720 per piece. 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.
