What is involved in re upholstery of my chair or sofa?
Re-upholstery is a process that includes replacing the fabric covering on the furniture to extend its life and give a new look to it, as well. It involves the padding which is essential to cover the old furniture, glue to fix it and a fabric to cover it. Before you perform the furniture restoration, it is essential to have a good knowledge about it, else it would not give a finished look to the furniture. If you want a quality restoration, it is always better to hire a professional who could provide expert services for the purpose.
A. Determine how much needs to be done. Is the frame loose (do arms or legs move?) If the frame needs repair we must then remove all fabric and padding from at least the area to be repaired. We will then tighten joints add glue blocks as needed or repair and strengthen broken wood. B. Are the springs sagging or poking up? If this is the case we will remove the old webbing or ties as necessary and replace what is needed with your original springs. C. From this point we will build up the foundation of the seat and back either with the original padding, hair, etc. or add new as needed. D. Now we are ready for the new fabric. We will use your cushions but can add additional down or padding as required.
