Customers can usually choose from a wide range of upholstery materials including performance fabrics, velvets, and textured weaves suited to the Pacific Northwest's damp climate. Frame repairs, spring retying, and cushion rebuilding are often handled as part of a full reupholstery job.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my furniture is worth reupholstering instead of replacing?
If the frame is solid wood and still sturdy, reupholstery is almost always worth it compared to buying new furniture of similar quality. A good rule of thumb: if the piece has good bones and sentimental or antique value, restoration makes more financial sense than replacement.
How long does a typical furniture reupholstery job take in Tacoma?
Most standard pieces like armchairs or dining chairs take one to two weeks, while larger items like sectional sofas can take three to four weeks depending on the shop's current workload. It's best to call ahead and ask about current turnaround times before dropping off your piece.
Can I bring my own fabric to the shop?
Many upholstery shops will work with customer-supplied fabric, but you'll want to confirm this upfront and make sure you have enough yardage. The shop can advise you on how many yards your specific piece requires before you purchase material.
Do upholstery shops in Tacoma offer pickup and delivery?
Some shops offer pickup and delivery for an additional fee, while others require you to bring the furniture in yourself. It's worth asking when you call, especially if you're dealing with a large or heavy piece.
What types of fabric work best for households with kids or pets?
Performance fabrics like solution-dyed acrylics, microfiber, and crypton are popular choices for high-traffic households because they resist stains, moisture, and wear. Your upholsterer can show you samples rated for heavy use so you're choosing something that'll actually hold up.
Is it possible to change the style of a piece while reupholstering it?
Yes, reupholstery is a great opportunity to update a piece's look, whether that means tighter cushions, added tufting, or different arm styling. Discuss your ideas with the shop during the consultation so they can tell you what's structurally possible with your specific piece.
