What are the pros and cons of reupholstery?

• <div><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/consider-reupholstery-instead-new-furniture.htm">worth reupholstering instead of buying new furniture</a>. Here are a few of the benefits and disadvantages of reupholstering a piece of furniture.</p><p>Pros:</p><ul><li><p>Preserving a family heirloom</p></li><li><p>Maintaining high-quality furniture in good condition</p></li><li><p>Reinventing an old piece of furniture</p></li><li><p>Keeping a piece of furniture from going to a landfill</p></li></ul><p>Cons:</p><ul><li><p>Spending (possibly) more than to buy a new piece of furniture</p></li><li><p>Finding out the frame is beyond repair</p></li><li><p>Waiting for the reupholstery work to be done</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

How do you know which upholstery company to hire?

• <div><p>Paying to reupholster a piece of furniture means you want to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/should-i-hire-upholstery-pro-my-furniture.htm">hire the right upholstery service</a>, especially for a piece that’s expensive or carries a lot of sentimental value. In your search for the right upholstery company, be sure to:</p><ul><li><p>Ask around to see if friends or family know of any upholsterers</p></li><li><p>Find reviews of the company or individual</p></li><li><p>Look at the photo gallery of their work to see if they work on furniture like yours and if you like their work</p></li><li><p>Check qualifications and references</p></li><li><p>Ask the upholstery service if they work on furniture like yours, what their schedule looks like, how they handle payments, and how long the job will take</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

How do you prevent leather furniture from peeling?

• <div><p>Ongoing maintenance of your leather furniture is the only way to prevent it from peeling and cracking. Real leather will peel and crack as it dries out. Leather conditioners are a great way to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tips-protect-your-leather-furniture-years-come.htm">protect your leather furniture</a> from drying out, and you’ll need to apply it about twice each year. It’s also a good idea to keep abrasive materials away from your leather to prevent cracking and peeling, including belt buckles, shoes, and multi-surface cleaners, especially those that contain alcohol.</p></div>

Mike did an awesome job painting my living room, ceiling and windows. He was neat and vacuumed up my living room once the project was completed. All my furniture was covered during this project. Mike was easy to work with and was very accommodating. I would highly recommend.

They moved furniture/etc. to dry part of basement, lifted carpeting and placed dehumidifiers and fans to dry out the basement for 3 days. Afterwards, they reinstalled the carpeting and thoroughly cleaned and sanitized the carpet. Furniture/etc was then repositioned and things look great!
