Why do different upholsterers charge different prices?
Some upholsterers focus on quality, and thus spend a lot more time at each stage. He stocks and uses high quality supplies and foam. He checks over the frame, padding and structure. He takes care in every movement to do quality work. If he makes a mistake, he takes the time to take it loose and do it the right way. Some upholsterers focus on doing the job fast and keeping the cost down. He uses low cost materials and does everything with the mindset of finding the quickest way and lowest cost way to do something. If he makes a mistake, he may just leave it (unless it is really bad).
