Is your furniture starting to look outdated? Get the best reupholstery service in NYC!

Maybe you’ve had your living room set for decades, and it’s starting to show some wear, but you’re not willing to part with the vintage pieces.

Perhaps your dining chair covers have collected some unsightly stains over the years, and they could do with some refurbishing.

We understand how expensive it can be to replace a room full of furniture. The costs of new sets run fairly high, and no one looks forward to the backbreaking labor required to move all of their old furniture out of the house. There’s also plenty of reasons why you might want to hang on to pieces you’ve had for a long time.

Reupholstery might be the right solution for you! Our Reupholstery NYC company can keep your interior looking fresh and new without parting with any of your beloved antiques. Get in touch with us to learn more about our reupholstery services!

What is Reupholstery?

Reupholstery removes certain elements of a piece of furniture and replaces them with new materials. This process is mainly done with seats and couches and is primarily concerned with the covers, webbing, padding, and springs. 

It’s like a facelift for your furniture — we make the outside look good as new and the interior more functional, all while building off the original piece’s framework.

Who Does Reupholstery?

An upholsterer typically does this work of replacing the most important parts of your antique armchairs, couches, and loveseats. This profession primarily involves dealing with furniture covers, pads, springs, and webbing, either by installing them on original furniture or replacing them on vintage pieces.

Our furniture restoration team is equipped with the best training and plenty of practical work experience, so you always know that your precious furniture items are safe in their hands. We pride ourselves on the quality of our craftsmanship, and we’re sure you’ll be satisfied with the handiwork of our dedicated experts.  

Why Reupholstery and Not Buy a New Couch?

There are plenty of reasons why reupholstering your existing furniture is a smarter move than replacing it with brand-new pieces. For one thing, if you’ve already invested in high-quality furniture, especially vintage pieces or antiques, it would be a waste of money to just throw them away at the first sign of wear. Instead, you can keep your precious valuables, but give them a facelift to keep them looking fresh.

If your existing wood furniture has intricate details, such as studded work, button backs, or wooden areas, you’ll want to show off these features. They’re a mark of dedicated craftsmanship which adds value to the piece, and that sort of detail is hard to come by with any modern factory furniture you might use to replace it. Reupholstering lets you keep these unique features while getting rid of the parts that don’t work.

Plus, from an environmental standpoint, reupholstery is a lot like recycling! You can repurpose your existing furniture and extend its use rather than throwing it out and letting it take up space in a landfill, only to replace it with modern items made from less sustainable materials.

Our Reupholstery NYC Process

Remove the Existing Upholstery:

The first order of business is to get the old, unwanted parts off of the piece of furniture and into the garbage. Our technicians will carefully strip away the fabric cover, webbing, padding, and springs, leaving behind the piece’s intact and stable wooden frame. This will be their canvas to build on top of.  

Make Sure the Frame is in Good Condition:

Next, it’s essential to inspect the wooden frame for problems to ensure the furniture’s integrity. If everything goes according to plan, the upholsterer will likely just need to tighten a few joints here and there.

Replace the Interior Cushion Parts:

At this point, the upholsterer will attach all the parts that will go inside of the fabric or leather seat cover. The springs, webbing, and padding must be properly installed to allow for maximum comfort and a pleasing shape.

Replace the Cover:

Finally, the upholsterer will attach the new cover of your choosing, be it leather, fabric, or some other material, and then your old furniture will be good as new!

Is it worth it to reupholster?

This is a question that many people face when their furniture starts to show signs of wear. Reupholstery can be a great way to breathe new life into an old piece, but it can also be expensive and time-consuming.

Before making the decision to reupholster, it’s important to consider the condition of the piece, the cost of materials and labor, and the value of the finished product.

In some cases, reupholstery may not be the best option. However, if the piece is structurally sound and you’re able to find a fabric that you love, reupholstering can be a great way to create a piece that is uniquely yours.

is it worth it to reupholster or buy a new furniture

When it comes to furniture, there are a lot of factors to consider. Style, comfort, and cost are all important, but one factor that is often overlooked is durability.

Upholstered furniture is especially susceptible to wear and tear, and it can be very expensive to replace. Reupholstery is a great way to extend the life of your furniture and keep it looking its best.

Not only does reupholstery give you the opportunity to select a new fabric that better suits your style, but it can also add extra padding and support to sagging cushions. If your upholstered furniture is starting to show its age, reupholstery may be the best option.

Can I reupholster a couch myself?

Many people choose to reupholster their couch at some point, whether it’s to change the color or style or to repair the damage. Reupholstering a couch is not an easy process. there are a few things you should keep in mind before you get started:

1. Are you handy with tools? have you ever done something like that before?
2. Do you know which fabric is best for your couch?
3. Do you have the time and patience to do it right?

If you answered “yes” to all above here are some basic steps to do it:
you’ll need to remove the old fabric from the couch. This can be done with a screwdriver or a utility knife. Next, measure the couch and cut the new fabric to size. Be sure to add an extra inch or two to account for any shrinkage. Once the fabric is cut, attach it to the couch with staples or upholstery tacks. Finally, replace the cushions and enjoy your new couch!

Can I reupholster a chair myself?

The same goes here with the previous question. nevertheless, it’s relatively easier to reupholster a chair than a sofa. 

Before you decide to reupholster a chair yourself, there are a few things you need to consider. First of all, it is important to make sure that the chair is in good structural condition.

If the frame is damaged or unstable, reupholstering will not fix the problem and may even make it worse. In addition, you need to have some experience with sewing and upholstery in order to do a professional-looking job.

Finally, you need to be prepared to invest some time and money into the project. If you are confident that you can handle all of these factors, then reupholstering a chair yourself can be a fun and rewarding experience.

Can you reupholster over existing fabric?

The short answer is yes, you can reupholster over existing fabric. However, there are a few things you should keep in mind before you get started.

First, the new fabric you choose should be at least 1/2 inch thick so that it doesn’t sag or wrinkle under the weight of the old fabric.

Second, you’ll need to use a strong adhesive to attach the new fabric to the old. Third, it’s important to test the adhesive on a small area of the old fabric first to make sure it won’t damage the finish.

If all goes well, you should be able to successfully reupholster your furniture and give it a new lease on life.

There are a few essential elements we keep in mind when reupholstering furniture:

– Tailoring: We want to ensure that your new upholstery will fit seamlessly into your space, so we take into account the size of the room, the existing style, and how often you’ll be using your furniture.

We approach reupholstery not as a task but as a journey. We want to work with you, learn about what you want and need, and get to know the function of the item we’re revamping.
For us, it’s not enough to just turn around and give you something that looks new—we want to take the time to learn about your specific needs so we can send you home with exactly what you need.

With their expertise in the field and love of their craft, they’ll take your old couch down to its frame (without damaging it, of course) and completely replace the old fabric with something new.
