Signs it is time

When a repair will not be enough

A single tear or one tired cushion calls for a repair. Damage like the examples here is where furniture reupholstery CT owners usually come out ahead over time. For one-off problems, look at panel replacement.

Keep or replace?

Reasons to keep the piece you have

The reasons Connecticut clients give, from Greenwich to New London, for holding on to a piece.

Better frames

An older hardwood frame usually beats what is sold new today.

Exact fit

It already suits the room and makes it up the stairs.

Sentiment

A grandparent's chair or a wedding gift remains in the family.

Less waste

A recovered sofa stays out of the dumpster.

Should I reupholster or just buy something new?

When the frame is solid hardwood and you still like its shape, the furniture reupholstery CT owners get from us tends to outlast a new piece from a store. Many older frames are built better than what is on showroom floors now.

Can the color or material be different?

Of course, that is what reupholstery is for. Leather to new leather, fabric to leather, leather to velvet, in whatever color you pick.

What gets replaced under the cover?

Anything that has worn out, whether foam, Dacron wrap, webbing or springs. Once the piece is open, we tell you what it needs before any work begins.

When would a repair do the job?

If the trouble is one panel or one issue, a repair or panel replacement is far cheaper. Reupholstery pays off when the whole cover is failing or you are after a new look.

Do you take on restaurant and office work?

We do: booths, banquettes, lobby sofas and office chairs, all in commercial-grade vinyl and fabric.
