"Awesome experience with Nova Carpet and Upholstery Care! We used this company for a move out that required flea treatment on our carpets. Very fair price, and the service was excellent. We will definitely be repeat customers."

"A week before Thanksgiving 2022, our nephew sat down hard on one of our kitchen stools and broke a large support dowel, leaving the stool useless. We were hosting Thanksgiving dinner that year and needed every seat possible, and didn't have time to buy a new set. We called several shops in the area and the only one who responded before the holiday was Miller Restoration. Ann was incredibly responsive and asked if I could bring the stool in the next day. I met Ann and her husband Kevin, who is the restoration specialist. They are a wonderful couple who take pride in the work they perform. Kevin was able to build a custom dowel and make it like new in time for the holidays. And the price was far less expensive than buying a new stool. Fast forward a year and our nephew managed to break one of the other stools in the same manner. Again, we were up against the holiday clock. Ann and Kevin picked up the stool from our house and returned it after completely rebuilding it. We can't recommend them highly enough."

Upholstering questions, answered by experts

Although it’s not standard, many upholstery professionals offer warranties on their workmanship, typically ranging from six months to several years. However, most warranties don't cover normal wear and tear, damage from spills and other accidents, or problems with the original furniture frame. Before starting your project, be sure to ask about warranty terms, what is covered, and any exclusions.

The process usually takes 1-2 weeks, and it is highly influenced by the materials, complexity of the project, and any customization desired.

It is often worthwhile to refinish or restore furniture, especially for high-quality, older, antique, or sentimental pieces. Older furniture tends to have better durability than modern, mass-produced items, and refinishing can cost about one-third of the price of replacement. To determine if it's cost-effective, compare quotes from local refinishing services with the price of a new, similar piece. Refinishing can refresh a piece's look and extend its lifespan. However, it may not be worth it for newer furniture made of medium-density fiberboard (MDF) or plywood, or for items with major structural damage. A professional can help you assess the piece and decide on the best course of action.

When deciding whether to repair, reupholster, or replace old furniture, consider its age, quality, level of wear, and overall value, including sentimental attachment. In many cases, it is more affordable to reupholster or repair furniture than to replace it, especially for antique, vintage, or discontinued pieces.

Older furniture is often made from durable hardwoods like oak and maple, giving it a longer lifespan than newer furniture, which frequently uses lower-quality materials such as plywood or medium-density fiberboard (MDF). Because of this, repairing or reupholstering a well-made older piece is often a worthwhile investment.

To determine the best course of action from a financial perspective, compare quotes from local furniture repair services with the price of a new, similar piece. Reupholstery may not be cost-effective for furniture that was originally inexpensive (e.g., under $300). For high-quality or sentimental items, however, it is an excellent way to preserve the piece and extend its life. If you're unsure, a furniture reupholstery specialist can help you evaluate the piece and make an informed decision.

Part of the beauty of academia decor is that most textures and materials will feel right at home, provided they’re dark. Some common textures include natural wood, dark metals like iron, velvet, and leather. Incorporating these into your dark academia decor will make them look right at home. Glass is another option in some cases, so fill in gaps in your decor with small glass jars, or really lean on the gothic roots of dark academia with stained glass.
