As a professional upholsterer for nearly 20 years, I have restored furniture of every style and from every era, including early 19th century, traditional, mid-century modern, Danish modern, and more. I bring a craftsman's eye and a fine attention to detail to every piece of furniture I work on. I cut no corners--I use the utmost care to restore your cherished furniture so it will bring you enjoyment for years to come. People appreciate the quality of my work, my personal, attentive service, and my fair prices. I have many satisfied customers--many of whom return to me with new projects. I will gladly provide references. In 2019, I relocated to Philmont, New York from Provincetown, Massachusetts, where I ran a successful business for five years. Prior to that, I had a studio in northern Vermont. Before going out on my own I served as an apprentice for five years and an upholstery manager at Pompanoosuc Mills in Thetford, Vermont. I am delighted to now live in beautiful Columbia County. I look forward to meeting the upholstery needs of people here and throughout the mid-Hudson Valley.

Upholstering questions, answered by experts

The average time it takes to reupholster a piece of furniture is around eight hours, but it varies significantly based on the piece. A professional can usually reupholster smaller furniture units like dining chairs or small ottomans in two to three hours, while an entire sofa might take several days or up to a week. Antique furniture tends to take longer to reupholster because greater care needs to be taken to preserve the piece. Your timeline might be a bit longer if you need other repairs done, like sanding and refinishing wood components.

Although it’s not standard, many upholstery professionals offer warranties on their workmanship, typically ranging from six months to several years. However, most warranties don't cover normal wear and tear, damage from spills and other accidents, or problems with the original furniture frame. Before starting your project, be sure to ask about warranty terms, what is covered, and any exclusions.

DIY upholstery is feasible for simple pieces with the right tools and skills, though intricate jobs typically require professional expertise for the best results.

Part of the beauty of academia decor is that most textures and materials will feel right at home, provided they’re dark. Some common textures include natural wood, dark metals like iron, velvet, and leather. Incorporating these into your dark academia decor will make them look right at home. Glass is another option in some cases, so fill in gaps in your decor with small glass jars, or really lean on the gothic roots of dark academia with stained glass.

When deciding whether to reupholster, repair, or replace old furniture, consider its age, level of wear and tear, and overall value. It’s usually better to repair old furniture because older pieces tend to be made out of hardwood, like oak and maple, whereas newer furniture is more often made out of plywood, medium-density fiberboard (MDF), and other less durable materials. When determining whether it’s worth the price to repair a furniture item, calculate the price of buying a new, similar piece and compare that to quotes from local furniture repair services.
