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

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.

Regular vacuuming, spot cleaning, and protecting surfaces from sun exposure prevents wear and fading, preserving longevity.

It is usually worth repairing leather furniture, as it tends to retain its value, provided you care for the material. A typical repair for leather furniture will cost about $250, which is significantly more affordable than replacing the furniture entirely. Even if you spend toward the upper end of the typical cost range for a full reupholstering—around $4,000—you’ll still save money over replacing it. Of course, the quality of the leather and the piece of furniture matters. Consult a leather repair professional about whether it’s worth repairing your leather furniture.

It can be cheaper to reupholster a chair or other piece of furniture than to buy a new one, depending on how much it costs to replace. If the chair or couch originally cost less than $300, then reupholstery may not be the cheapest option. However, if the chair is expensive, vintage, or discontinued, reupholstery can be the more affordable option. This is especially true if the piece of furniture is out-of-production or holds sentimental value.

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.
