"When I contacted Jason about repairing my chair he asked that I message him a description of the problem along with a picture of the chair. He responded right away with an estimate and we scheduled a date for repair. Jason and his associate arrived on time and had my chair fixed within an hour. It now works like new. Jason and his associate were courteous, friendly and very professional. Also, when I told him I had forgotten to print my coupon from Angie's List, he said no problem I will give you a discount. I would highly recommend Weathersby Guild for their service and quality of work."

"Charlie showed up right on time to clean and polish all my antique furniture. I had contracted for 2 hours of work. He quickly assessed all the pieces and went to work. He applied various techniques on different pieces; and in the end, it all looked fantastic! I would definitely hire them again, as I am unable to physically clean and polish on an annual basis as I did in my younger years. What a find of this company! They can do just about anything IN MY HOME, not having to move my pieces to their shop and then return weeks later as others require."

Customers say: Quick response

"My wife and I had Scott make us some mirrors for our new bathroom and he did an excellent job tying into the style of our 1929 house by reusing door molding from a doorway we removed as part of the remodel. That in itself was no simple job, as the woodwork needed to be scaled down a bit to make it look right in the space. The crafstmanship, timeliness, and overall care he put into making our new mirrors are a testament to his professionalism and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for help as he is among the top echelon of anyone I have worked with to date on things such as this."

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.

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.

If your usually super soft couch feels crusty and rough after cleaning, it could be that you haven’t removed the cleaning product properly, you used too much, or you applied the wrong type. Always check the couch tags to select the right cleaning product, read application instructions carefully, and test on an inconspicuous corner. For fabrics such as microfiber, you can soften and fluff crusty fibers using a soft-bristled brush.

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.

Regular vacuuming, spot cleaning, and protecting surfaces from sun exposure prevents wear and fading, preserving longevity.
