What else should I consider when I ship my bedroom furniture?

• <div><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-services-you-didnt-know-movers-offer.htm">movers and the services</a> 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.</p></div>

Q: What is the best material to wrap furniture?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth reupholstering an old or antique chair?

• <div><p>Reupholstering an old or antique chair can be worthwhile if the frame is still sturdy and the piece has sentimental or monetary value. Reupholstery often costs less than buying a high-quality new chair, and you can customize the look. However, extensive repairs or rare fabrics may increase the total cost.</p></div>

Q: Can you reupholster antique furniture?

• <div><p>Yes, you can reupholster antique furniture, and it&rsquo;s a great way to extend the life of your pieces and keep them looking fresh and new for years to come. In fact, since reupholstering furniture is significantly more affordable than replacing it, reviving antique furniture can be a cost-effective way to keep that family heirloom usable for much longer. It&rsquo;s usually a good idea to leave antique reupholstering to a professional, as they will have the tools and expertise to ensure the piece isn&rsquo;t damaged and looks professionally finished.</p></div>

Q: Can I supply my own fabric for chair reupholstery?

• <div><p>Many upholsterers allow you to provide your own fabric, which can help control costs and ensure you get the exact style you want. Some upholsterers offer a selection of fabrics to choose from, while others may require you to purchase it at a fabric store. Be sure to check with your upholsterer about fabric suitability, required yardage, and any additional fees for using customer-supplied materials.</p></div>

It was great working with Dave. I requested a custom cutting board for a Fatherâ s Day gift along with a primitive wooden star. Love the quality of the work! I would use Dave again in the future (possibly thinking about building a pantry and resurfacing some old furniture).

Painted interior and repair of drywall. The quality of the work was good. Could have been more fastidious in covering furniture on the first floor as painting ceiling on the second floor had dripped through stairway to first floor and had paint on a 250 year old piece. Could have vacuumed the...
