Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery involves far more than swapping out fabric. At its core, the process includes stripping off old material, evaluating and replacing worn foam and batting, repairing or tightening the frame, and then applying new fabric or leather with precision stitching and finishing. Brasher's works on sofas, sectionals, chairs, ottomans, headboards, and dining seating. Customers can typically choose from a broad selection of upholstery fabrics, from durable everyday textiles to higher-end options suited for formal rooms. Custom cushion work is also part of what a dedicated shop like this handles.

Service Area

Brasher's is located in Birmingham and primarily serves customers throughout Jefferson County and the surrounding metro area. Communities like Homewood, Vestavia Hills, Mountain Brook, and Hoover are all within easy reach, making it a convenient option for anyone across the greater Birmingham area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it worth reupholstering an old sofa, or should I just buy a new one?
It depends on the quality of the frame. Older sofas, especially those built before the 1980s, often have hardwood frames that are far sturdier than what you'd find in most new furniture at a similar price point. If the frame is solid, reupholstering is usually the better long-term investment.
Can I bring my own fabric to the shop?
Many upholstery shops will work with customer-supplied fabric, though it's worth discussing in advance. You'll want to make sure you have enough yardage and that the material is suitable for the type of piece you're having done.
How much does furniture reupholstery typically cost in Birmingham?
Pricing varies based on the size of the piece, the condition of the frame, and your fabric choice. A basic armchair might run a few hundred dollars, while a large sectional can cost significantly more. Getting an in-person quote is the most reliable way to know what to expect.
Do you work with interior designers on client projects?
Yes, interior designers are a common customer for upholstery shops. They often bring in client pieces or coordinate fabric sourcing for larger room projects. If you're a designer, it's worth calling to discuss how the shop handles trade work.
How long will the reupholstery work last?
Quality reupholstery done with good materials on a sound frame should last 10 to 20 years with normal use. The fabric choice plays a big role, as heavier woven textiles and quality leathers hold up better than lighter decorative fabrics on heavily used pieces.
Can you match the original style or pattern of my furniture?
Skilled upholsterers can replicate the original design intent of a piece, including matching pattern repeats and button tufting layouts. Bring photos of the original if possible, and discuss your goals during the initial consultation.
