Services

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

The primary work here is furniture reupholstery, handled from start to finish at the shop level rather than farmed out to outside contractors. That means you're working directly with the person doing the job, which makes communication about fabric choices, padding firmness, and finishing details much easier. Sofas and sectionals make up a large portion of the workload, but accent chairs, recliners, and custom headboards are also common requests. Fabric sourcing is part of the service, with the shop able to order from wholesale suppliers to give clients access to materials they wouldn't find at a retail store.

Service Area

This Montgomery location serves customers throughout the metro area and surrounding communities. Clients from areas like Millbrook, Wetumpka, and Prattville regularly make the trip into Montgomery for upholstery work. The shop is well-positioned to serve both the residential neighborhoods and commercial corridors that make up the broader Montgomery region.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can antique or vintage furniture be safely reupholstered without damaging it?
Yes, and experienced upholstery shops know how to work with older construction methods that differ from modern furniture. Care is taken to preserve the original frame, joinery, and any decorative woodwork while updating the fabric and padding.
How do I pick a fabric color that I won't regret?
Ask the shop for swatches you can take home and view in your actual lighting, since colors look very different under store fluorescents versus natural light. Neutral tones and classic textures tend to stay timeless, but the shop can advise based on your room and existing decor.
Is leather reupholstery different from fabric reupholstery?
The process shares many similarities, but working with leather requires different cutting, stitching, and finishing techniques since mistakes are harder to hide. Not every upholstery shop works in leather regularly, so it's worth asking about their experience with it specifically.
What should I do to prepare my furniture before bringing it in?
Clear out any items stored inside or underneath the piece and remove any decorative pillows or accessories. You don't need to do any prep to the fabric itself since the shop will handle all of that as part of the job.
Can the shop match the original fabric style if I want to keep the same look?
In many cases, yes. Shops can source fabric that closely replicates an original pattern, texture, or color, especially for traditional styles. For very specific or proprietary fabrics, a close match is usually achievable even if an exact replica isn't available.
Does reupholstering furniture add to its resale value?
For quality pieces, fresh upholstery can meaningfully increase what a buyer will pay, particularly for solid wood frames or designer pieces. Professionally reupholstered furniture also photographs better and shows better, which matters if you're staging a home or selling online.
