reupholstery Palm Beach County Recovering An Older Piece
A lot of what we recover here is older than the people who own it. The brief is to keep the shape the maker intended, not to modernise it.
What Palm Beach Reupholstery Does
Every reupholstery Palm Beach County visit starts with the same question: what in this room reached the hide first.
We template off the old cover, not off a pattern book.
Old joints are re-glued before anything goes over them.
Maker labels and stamps stay where they are.
Four Places That Go First
Wear is never even on a leather piece. These four spots fail before the rest of it does, and a photograph of them tells us most of what a quote needs.
Every sit starts and ends on an arm.
The front roll loses colour before the cushion face.
A dark halo that cleans off, until it does not.
Stitched edges take the strain the panel does not.
Clean, Fill, Colour, Seal
Four steps, in that order, at your address.
Clean
Oils and salt off, so nothing seals underneath.
Fill
Only as deep as the damage goes.
Colour
Mixed against the piece, in its own light.
Seal
Sheen matched across the whole panel.
Before And After
Each pair shot from one angle, in daylight.
What A Photograph Shows
Six things we read before anyone drives out.
A pressed grain means the filler went in right.
A repair is judged at its edge, not its middle.
Gloss is what gives a patch away.
Thread that matches the original weight.
Tested against the piece before any goes on.
Thin and even, or it reads as a shape.
Pieces We Take Most
The furniture Palm Beach Reupholstery households send us for reupholstery Palm Beach County, and what each one needs first.
Florida’s statutes set what a written estimate must contain before you accept it.
One cushion carries the household and shows it.
People lie where they should sit, and the panel stretches.
Hinges wear the hide at the fold before anywhere else.
Six seats fade together and must be matched together.
Cushions left out take water the foam keeps.
Where hands and hair sit for eight hours a day.
Common Questions
Will recovering devalue an antique?
Done properly, no. Changing its shape would.
Can you match the original fabric?
Rarely exactly. We will show you what comes closest before you commit.
Is the visit free?
Yes, with a written price before anything is booked.
Do you work on site?
Almost always. The piece stays where it is and the kit comes to you.
How long does it take?
Most single-panel work is one visit. We say which it is from the photographs.
Is repair cheaper than new?
Usually by a wide margin. The bands are on the cost page.
