"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."

"The team, namely Liliana and Oscar, did an incredible job restoring our dining room after extensive water/mold damage in the walls and ceiling. Professional, communicative, and thorough- their work is really wonderful! The team who did the assessment was thorough and the quote we received was honest, detailed and comparatively competitive to other contractors. The entire team has appropriate certifications in mold removal. I wish we’d gone with them for the mold removal initially as well- we had an unsatisfactory experience with another mold removal company but we had ERS add on safety cleaning measures and they were. Great. Gave us the confidence to know our home was not only beautifully restored but safe for our newborn. Thanks so much! If you’re on the fence, go with these guys- you won’t regret."

Upholstering questions, answered by experts

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 worth reupholstering instead of buying new furniture. Here are a few of the benefits and disadvantages of reupholstering a piece of furniture.

Pros:

  • Preserving a family heirloom

  • Maintaining high-quality furniture in good condition

  • Reinventing an old piece of furniture

  • Keeping a piece of furniture from going to a landfill

Cons:

  • Spending (possibly) more than to buy a new piece of furniture

  • Finding out the frame is beyond repair

  • Waiting for the reupholstery work to be done

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.

Paper moving pads, also called furniture wrapping paper or paper moving blankets, are sheets of recycled paper used to protect various items during moving. Similar to traditional moving blankets, paper pads are also reusable, making them a sustainable and cost-effective option for protecting your belongings during the moving process. Although they’re recycled, they still provide excellent protection against dust, dirt, and scratches.

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.

Depending on the quality of the leather, this type of upholstery can last anywhere from 5 to 20 years. The more time you invest in the care and protection of the leather, the longer your leather furniture is likely to last.
