Asked by people whose sofa never rests

Common Questions

Can you make the seats firmer?
Yes. Denser foam is cut to the old cushion shape, so the look stays the same.
Will a heavier topcoat feel different?
Slightly smoother to the hand. Most people don't notice, but spills wipe off.
Does it leave the house?
Rarely. Color, seams and cushions are done in the room, usually in one visit. Chairs too.
Is the visit free?
Yes, with a written quote per piece.
What about sectionals?
Yes. See sectionals.
Fabric sofas too?
Yes. See fabric and reupholstery.
