Frequently Asked Questions
Reupholstering is a great option if your furniture has a strong frame but worn-out fabric, sagging cushions, or an outdated design. High-quality or antique pieces with sentimental value are worth restoring, especially if they have durable hardwood frames. However, if the structure is broken, warped, or made from low-quality materials, replacing the furniture may be a better choice.
The best fabric depends on durability, usage, and style preferences. Microfiber, polyester, and performance fabrics are ideal for high-traffic areas due to their stain resistance, while velvet, silk, and leather add a luxurious look but require extra care. For homes with pets, tightly woven fabrics like Crypton or canvas work well, while outdoor furniture benefits from weather-resistant materials such as Sunbrella.
Reupholstering costs vary based on the type of furniture, fabric selection, and labor involved. Dining chairs typically range from $50 to $250 per seat, while armchairs and recliners cost between $400 and $1,500. Sofas can cost anywhere from $600 to $4,000 depending on size and material, with headboards and ottomans falling between $200 and $800. Higher-end fabrics and thin designs can increase costs but may be worth the investment for quality pieces.
The time required for reupholstering depends on the complexity of the project and material availability. Simple jobs like dining chairs can be completed in a few days, while more complex restorations, such as custom sofas or antiques, can take several weeks. Delays may occur if specialty fabrics need to be ordered, so it’s best to consult with an upholsterer for an accurate timeline.
DIY reupholstering is possible for small projects like seat cushions, but larger or high-value furniture is best handled by professionals. Experts ensure proper fabric fitting to prevent wrinkles, reinforce structure by replacing padding and springs, and create a polished, durable finish.
