Reupholstery CT
Fresh upholstery on the frames you already own. Commercial reupholstery CT businesses can plan around, since the carcass fixed to your floor stays where it is and only the seats travel.

The frame is part of the building
A booth is a plywood carcass screwed into a wall and a floor, installed when the space itself was fitted out. That frame stays exactly where it is. What travels is the upholstery on it: seats, backs and any loose chairs come to our workshop in batches on dates you choose, so the space never sits empty all at once. The carcass is also why a booth wall gets priced by length along the seat rather than per piece — two booths of equal length are one job whether they hold four people or six.
Runs, rows and batches
Built-in seating is a run, so we measure it. Loose seating is a batch, so we count it. Almost every commercial space has some of each, and each one gets its own schedule.
The line missing from your quote
Most commercial reupholstery CT quotes only cover the fabric. The foam beneath it is what decides whether a seat feels new, and on older seating it has usually failed ahead of the cover — so we open up one seat before we price a run.
How the work runs
Stripped on the benchOld covers come off in our workshop, right down to the foam.
Stretched and stapledPulled tight over the base and stapled underneath, where nobody looks.
A batch at a timeOnly the pieces that need it travel — and never the whole room at once.
Back on your dateReturned and set in place on the date agreed with you.
What sits underneath
Foam before fabricOn a booth six years old, the foam has usually given out ahead of the cover.
Springs and webbingInspected with the cover off, since that is the only chance to reach them.
CornersThe spot where a cheap recover gives itself away first, within weeks.
Arm padsSwapped as new blocks instead of being stuffed out.
Measured, specified, batched
Measure the run
Length of seat and back in linear feet, not a count of chairs. A booth run is priced on that.
Choose the cover
Contract-rated for the space, with flame-rated foam where public assembly codes call for it.
Batch it to your dates
Seats, backs and loose pieces come to the workshop in groups on dates you set.
Match every batch
Each returning batch is checked against the first, so the whole run reads as one.
Original frame, everything else new
The frame, the base and the footprint are the same ones the space was designed around. Covers, foam and welting are all new, chosen for a public space instead of a home.
Recovering comes last, not first
A single split seam calls for a repair. A run that has faded yet still bends without cracking calls for restoration, at a fraction of the cost. New covers belong on material that cracks when flexed, or on a space you are redesigning on purpose. We will tell you which one you have, even when the answer is the cheaper job.
Commercial Reupholstery CT FAQ
Questions owners and managers raise before booking a run.
Do the booths have to be removed?
The frames, no, and most could not be. With commercial reupholstery CT booths, the plywood carcass stays built into the room while the upholstered seats and backs come to our workshop in batches.
How is a booth run priced?
By the linear foot of seat and back, so we work from a measurement, not a guess. A wall of nine booths is a single length, not nine separate estimates.
Do we need new foam as well?
Frequently, and it is the line most quotes skip. On older seats the foam collapses before the cover gives out, so fresh covers over tired foam feel wrong from the first day.
Can you match the covers we have now?
Yes, if the material is still in production. If it has been discontinued we tell you up front and send real samples of the closest contract-rated options, not photos in an email.
Do we have to close while it is done?
No. Seats, backs and loose pieces go out in batches on the dates you pick, so you never lose the whole room.
Show us the run, not a chair count
Send photos along the length of the seating and a rough measurement. That is enough for us to scope the run.
