Reupholstery

Reupholstery is the craft of removing an item’s worn or outdated covering, repairing and rebuilding the internal support system, and applying new fabric to restore both function and appearance.


It’s a sustainable alternative to replacement that preserves furniture character while updating comfort, aesthetics, and performance. From antique armchairs, to our reupholstery service addresses every layer: frame, springs, foam, batting, and cover.

Our Reupholstery Process

— Thorough, Documented, and Precise —

Initial Evaluation and Consultation:

We begin by carefully inspecting the piece. Questions we address include:

  • Is the frame solid and worth preserving?
  • Are springs intact or do they need replacement?
  • Is original upholstery of historic value that should be documented or preserved?

We discuss your goals and recommend full or partial reupholstery accordingly.

Detailed Estimate:

After evaluation, we provide an itemized estimate covering materials (fabric, foam, webbing, springs) and labor. We explain options to reduce costs, such as partial reupholstery or using remnant fabrics for hidden parts.

Disassembly and Documentation:

We take detailed photographs and notes to preserve original tailoring details and construction techniques — essential for antiques and complex projects.

Structural and Mechanical Repairs:

Frames are reinforced, re-glued, and re-sanded as needed. We repair or replace rails, dowels, and blocks. Spring systems are retied or replaced; webbing reinstalled for needed support.

Rebuild of Internal Layers:

High-quality foam, kiln-dried batting, and other fill materials are selected based on desired comfort and resilience. We layer materials for ergonomics and shape retention.

Cover Fabrication:

Pattern matching, seam allowances, and grain alignment are managed meticulously. We sew and apply covers carefully to achieve tight, even finishes.

Finishing Details:

Buttons, tufting, welt, piping, or nail-head trim are reinstalled or recreated. We refine edges and corners and perform final shaping.

Types of Reupholstery Projects We Handle

Full Reupholstery:

Complete cover removal and rebuild for major furniture pieces with structural repairs.

Partial Reupholstery:

Targeted repairs like seat panels, arms, or back coverings when the rest of the piece is in good shape.

Antique Restoration: Preservation-focused reupholstery using period-correct materials and techniques to maintain value.

Designer Collaborations:

Working with interior designers to implement specific fabrics, trims, and finishes on signature pieces.

We provide transparent, itemized quotes and can suggest options to meet budgets while maintaining quality.

Timelines and Scheduling

Typical timelines:

  • Small items: 1–2 weeks
  • Standard reupholstery: 2–4 weeks
  • Large or complex projects: 4–8 weeks

Projects and antiques may require longer due to scale and sourcing special materials. We communicate timelines clearly to minimize inconvenience.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  • Can you reupholster a sofa with multiple cushions or a sectional?

    Yes. We handle sectionals, sofas, and modular pieces. We ensure seam continuity and consistent tension across joins for a cohesive look.

  • What if my fabric is delicate or has a large repeat pattern?

    We assess the suitability of your fabric and advise on additional yardage needed to match repeats. For delicate fabrics, we select appropriate lining and backing materials to protect and stabilize.

  • Will my restored piece look different than before?

    We aim to honor the piece’s original lines and character. When you choose a different fabric or finish, the visual outcome may change, but structural and silhouette elements will be preserved unless you request modifications.

  • Do you provide fabric samples?

    Yes. We maintain swatches from trusted suppliers and can order samples for client review. We also inspect customer-supplied fabric for suitability.
