Services & Process

Ancor handles furniture reupholstery from start to finish, including fabric removal, frame inspection, cushion rebuilding, and new material installation. Their furniture repair capabilities extend to fixing structural problems like broken frames, loose joints, and damaged support systems that affect how a piece functions and sits. This combination is particularly useful when a sofa or armchair has both worn fabric and underlying structural wear that needs attention. Customers can expect a full assessment of their piece rather than just a surface-level fix.

Service Area

Ancor Professional Upholstery is based in Chicago and serves customers throughout the city's neighborhoods. Their 773 area code places them among Chicago's established neighborhood businesses, making them accessible across the North, South, and West sides. Nearby communities in Cook County are also within reasonable reach for customers with larger projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you fix a sagging sofa and reupholster it at the same time?
Yes, and doing both at once is usually the smarter approach. Fixing the support system, whether that means replacing springs, webbing, or foam, while the furniture is already disassembled for reupholstery saves time and gives you a fully restored result.
How do I know if my furniture needs repair or just new fabric?
If your piece feels unstable, creaks, or sags when you sit on it, there's likely a structural issue beyond the fabric. A professional upholsterer can identify both surface and internal problems when they inspect the item.
What styles of furniture does a professional upholstery shop typically work on?
Professional shops can handle traditional, mid-century modern, and contemporary styles. The techniques and materials differ, but experienced craftspeople adapt to the design requirements of each piece.
How many yards of fabric do I need for a typical armchair?
A standard armchair typically requires four to seven yards of fabric depending on the size and whether the pattern needs to be matched. Your upholsterer will calculate the exact amount once they've assessed the piece.
Do upholstery shops work with commercial clients like offices or restaurants?
Many professional shops take on commercial projects involving office chairs, restaurant booth seating, and lobby furniture. Commercial work often involves contract-grade fabrics that meet durability and fire resistance standards.
What's the turnaround time for a full furniture reupholstery project in Chicago?
Most full reupholstery jobs take two to four weeks from the time the shop receives the piece, though this can vary based on current workload and project complexity. It's always worth asking for a timeline estimate when you schedule your project.
