A single dining chair takes 3 to 5 working days from drop-off to pickup. An armchair averages 2 to 3 weeks. A full three-seat sofa usually needs 4 to 6 weeks, especially if the shop outsources cushion filling. Rush jobs cost 20 to 30 percent more and should be confirmed in writing.
Vacuum cushions weekly with a soft brush attachment. Rotate seat cushions every 2 weeks to even out wear. Blot spills immediately; do not rub. Professional cleaning every 12 to 18 months extends fabric life. Keep pieces away from windows with strong sun exposure and maintain room humidity between 40 and 55 percent to prevent wood frame movement.
Fabrics with stripes, plaids, or large motifs need careful alignment at every seam. Matching a pattern across the back, arms, and cushions uses extra yardage and more labor. A small chair can need 15 to 20 percent more fabric than a solid cover. Misaligned patterns are one of the most common visual defects in rushed work. Confirm the matching plan before approving the quote.
Verbal quotes lead to disputes when the bill arrives. A written quote should list fabric cost, labor, foam, trim, hardware, and any structural repair as separate line items. It should also state who pays for extra work found during disassembly. Ask for the quote by email or printed form with a signature line. This protects both sides if the scope grows mid-project.
Reupholstery replaces the fabric, foam, and padding on your furniture while keeping the original frame, springs, and wooden structure intact. It is different from a simple slipcover. A full job covers seat cushions, back cushions, arms, and any visible piping or trim. Most people choose this service to preserve a piece with sentimental value or solid hardwood construction.
Seat foam is sold by density, not firmness. A density rating of 1.8 pounds per cubic foot lasts around 8 years for daily use. Ratings below 1.5 will flatten within 2 to 3 years. High-resilience foam at 2.5 or higher feels firmer but supports more weight without bottoming out.
Three main factors control cost: fabric choice, frame condition, and cushion complexity. Down-wrapped cushions, tufted backs, and skirted bases add labor hours. Hidden frame repairs discovered mid-project can raise the bill, so ask for a written estimate with a not-to-exceed clause before work begins.
Before any fabric goes on, the frame has to hold weight for years to come. Pros check for loose corner blocks, cracked rails, and split dowels. If joints are wobbly, they need gluing and clamping or full replacement. Kiln-dried hardwood frames survive reupholstery better than particleboard. A weak frame will make even premium fabric sag early. Always ask for a frame condition report in writing.
A professional reupholstery job starts with full disassembly: legs removed, cushion covers opened, and the old fabric carefully taken off to use as a pattern. New pieces are cut, sewn, and fitted one layer at a time. Trims, nailheads, and welting are reapplied last. Rushed disassembly leads to broken trim and lost hardware. Ask if the quote includes photographing the original layout for reference.
Most shops offer pickup and delivery for a flat fee based on distance and piece size. Items are usually wrapped in moving blankets to protect the new fabric. Delivery drivers will not remove doors or hoist pieces upstairs beyond a landing. You should clear the path and the room before the crew arrives. Ask whether the fee includes placing the furniture back in its spot.
