Is it better to reupholster or replace furniture?

• <div><p>In most cases, it is more affordable to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/consider-reupholstery-instead-new-furniture.htm">reupholster furniture than it is to replace it</a>, but it depends on the quality and age of the furniture you’re considering getting reupholstered. Antique pieces are always worth reupholstering, as it’s the only way to preserve the piece and extend its life. Newer pieces of furniture are more often made using lower-quality materials like medium-density fiberboard or plywood that don’t have the same lifespan as things like hardwood. For newer pieces, your furniture reupholstery specialist should be able to help you determine the best course of action.</p></div>

What furniture won't fade from the sun?

• <div><p>Furniture made from materials resistant to sun fading includes metals like aluminum, stainless steel, and wrought iron, as well as certain synthetic materials like polyethylene (commonly used in outdoor wicker furniture) and resin-based products. Glass tables and accents are also sun resistant. These materials inherently withstand UV rays and are less prone to fading or discoloration. Furniture with UV-resistant coatings or finishes, such as powder-coated metal or UV-protected plastics, offers enhanced protection against sun-induced fading. </p></div>

Is it worth reupholstering an old couch instead of buying new?

• <div><p>Reupholstering is often worthwhile for high-quality, antique, or sentimental couches, especially if the frame is sturdy. It can cost less than buying a comparable new piece and allows for customization, but may not be cost-effective for low-end furniture. </p></div>

Can you reupholster over old material?

• <div><p>It is possible to reupholster directly over old material in some cases, and it can save you a bit of money. If you are going to go this route, make sure you use a darker color than you had previously. Otherwise, you might see the old fabric beneath the new material. You should also keep in mind that reupholstering over old material is only possible with certain materials. For example, reupholstering over leather usually isn’t possible. You can ask your professional to see if this is an option for your piece.</p></div>

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>.

With knowledge, experience, and hard work, Gary Gesualdo has spent twenty four years providing designers and trade clients with exceptional workroom services. Located on 306 Main Street in East Greenwich, RI, East Coast Designs’ store front offers products for all residential and commercial spaces. Privately owned and managed by Gary, East Coast Designs sets itself apart by selling the complete Hunter Douglas Line of window treatments, including the Alustra Collection, as well as the economy lines that you will assist your sales to the price conscious client. The Hunter Douglas Collection is not offered online or at large box stores (Home Depot, Lowes, etc.), and is only sold to certified, local dealers. We at East Coast Designs make a conscious effort to use drop cloths, and take our shoes off in client’s home. Rest assured, we will not put our tools on any furniture so that we do not damage it in any way. We do not solicit to the client, give out phone numbers, or have any advertisement on our vehicles. We are also all licensed and insured. Normal procedure for a project is for you to make initial contact with the client, which includes taking rough field dimensions. Then you must obtain all of the important field information (number of windows, fabric chosen, details concerning the fabric, verification of availability of fabric, and reserving proper yardages of that fabric). East Coast Designs will then prepare a quote (usually takes 1-2 days), and submit it to the proper channels. Upon approval of the quote, a deposit will need to be received to convert this to an order, and a site visit will be scheduled (within 3-5 days) to verify final dimensions, and any final concerns that the designer or client may have. Drapery fabrication takes approximately 5-7 weeks, and shades and blinds take about 3-4 weeks.
