Is it Cheaper to Reupholster or Buy New?
For most individuals, price is the most important factor when deciding whether to reupholster or replace furniture. Reupholstery costs vary greatly from piece to piece and depend on factors like the size of the furniture and chosen fabric. Fabric remains the greatest predictor of what your final price may be. Upholstery fabric costs can vary tremendously. When shopping for fabrics, make certain you are aware of the quality and warranty before purchasing. We see all to often people who purchase fabric from an outlet or big box store at a cheap price, find out later the fabric did not last on their newly recovered furniture. Most of today's top brand furniture has adopted less expensive materials and manufacturing techniques. If you have a sofa manufactured more than 10 years ago chances are the materials and construction are far better than the same one of today. When building high-quality furniture, manufacturers use Oak and other hardwoods for the frame and attach the joints using dowels and glue or screws. Inexpensive furniture usually has staples holding together the joints. So the structural quality is well worth the consideration when making a decision to have reupholstering done.
Do You Repair Frames?
Of course we do. An advantage of reupholstering furniture is the chance to repair frame once the piece is torn down. We can examine the frame and repair or replace damaged sections at your request. Most repairs can be estimated without removing any upholstery. But there are times damage can't be determined until the upholstery is removed or partially removed. We also can reinforce the frame and joints, replace springs and webbing as required. Often the repairs made are better than when the piece was new.
Please Note; We do not repair electrical / mechanical units contained in some furniture such as La-Z-Boy and others. Please contact the manufacture of your product for repair information.
