  • Upholstery is 100% custom, so the cost is different for each piece.

    Different levels of restoration work require different materials and time commitments. Generally, the pricing is based on labour, plus the selection materials (eg. new foam, fabric, finishes like decorative nails), and any structural requirement additional costs (eg. new webbing, springs, or jute).

  • Reupholstering is often done for sentimental reasons, such as preserving a family heirloom or a favourite piece of furniture. It also offers the opportunity to update and restore high-quality older furniture that may be better constructed than many new pieces on the market. Reupholstering can be a cost-effective way to maintain or improve the aesthetic and functionality of your furniture.
