FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Re upholstery is very labor intensive. It may not be less expensive than buying new replacements but it is always less expensive than replacing it with like and same. In other words the 2000 dollar sofa you bought 20 years ago will cost 3000 now but only 1500-1800 to reupholster. It begins with the complete stripping of the cover off the existing piece. Some times but not always a new set of patterns are made from older ones. From here all frame repairs are made, the springs are retied or replaced, then new stuffing and build up is done. Then it is all laid out , cut and sewn then Professionally reupholstered.
