"I'm so grateful I came across Vinny, he is truly knowledgeable, capable, flexible, and lovely! Unlike other companies, when I called to get a quote, he asked me for photos of the antique upholstered chair and what type of cleaning I would want, and explained the processes, techniques, and solvents he was going to use. I knew I would be in good hands and I was! He was on time, worked quickly, and gave me updates on how everything was going. And of course, the results speak for themselves!! Highly recommend booking"

"This project consisted of custom work done to perfection. I could not be more thrilled with the attention to every detail provided during each phase of the project which included the installation of a magnificent bathroom, the complete kitchen upgrade including the construction of an amazing bench, classic China cabinet, beautiful backsplash and magnificent crown mounding. Also included was the construction and installation of exquisite recessed paneling, moulding and custom shutters in the stairway, living room and dining room. I found an honest, reliable and clean contractor who I would not hesitate to recommend to my family and freinds."

Upholstering questions, answered by experts

The time required to reupholster furniture depends on the item's size, complexity, and condition. The hands-on work can range from 2-3 hours for a simple dining chair to 10 to 20 hours for a large sofa. The total project timeline with a professional, including fabric sourcing and scheduling, typically ranges from one to three weeks.

Several factors can affect the timeline. Antique furniture often takes longer due to the delicate care required. If additional repairs are needed, such as sanding or refinishing wood components, the process will also take more time. A DIY reupholstery project will usually take significantly longer than a professional job.

Paper moving pads, also called furniture wrapping paper or paper moving blankets, are sheets of recycled paper used to protect various items during moving. Similar to traditional moving blankets, paper pads are also reusable, making them a sustainable and cost-effective option for protecting your belongings during the moving process. Although they’re recycled, they still provide excellent protection against dust, dirt, and scratches.

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

The average cost to reupholster a piece of furniture is around $720, with most projects falling in the $380 to $1,150 range. The final price can vary significantly based on several factors. These include the size and complexity of the furniture, the cost of the new fabric (which typically ranges from $50 to $70 per yard), and hourly labor rates (often $40 to $100 per hour). Additional factors that influence the price are the piece's current condition, its age, whether it needs other repairs, the number of pieces being reupholstered, and your geographic location.

Consider durability, color, texture, room use, and personal style when selecting fabric. Fabrics like linen, cotton, or microfiber offer versatility and strength.
