reupholstery cost Miami The Frame Decides The Answer
Reupholstery is worth it on a frame worth keeping and rarely worth it otherwise. These are the bands, and the question that comes before them.
Ask About The Frame
A joined hardwood frame is worth recovering, often more than once. A stapled softwood frame usually costs more to recover than to replace, and we say so before quoting.
Every band below assumes the frame is sound. If it is not, frame work is quoted separately rather than buried in the figure.
Seats, Whole Chairs, Stools
The most common reupholstery work, and the cheapest way in.
| Piece | Fabric / vinyl | Leather |
|---|---|---|
| Dining chair, drop-in seat | $75–$150 | $125–$225 |
| Dining chair, whole chair | $250–$450 | $400–$700 |
| Bar stool seat | $90–$175 | $150–$275 |
| Armchair | $700–$1,400 | $1,400–$2,800 |
Sofas And Sectionals
Whole-piece work, patterned from one batch so nothing reads odd.
| Piece | Fabric / vinyl | Leather |
|---|---|---|
| Three-seat sofa | $1,400–$2,800 | $3,000–$6,000 |
| Sectional | $2,200–$4,500 | $4,500–$9,000 |
Ottomans And Headboards
Simple shapes where the pattern match is most of the skill.
| Piece | Fabric / vinyl | Leather |
|---|---|---|
| Ottoman | $250–$500 | $450–$900 |
| Headboard | $400–$850 | $700–$1,400 |
Cheaper Than A New Cover
Two jobs that often remove the need for reupholstery altogether.
| Job | Fabric / vinyl | Leather |
|---|---|---|
| One leather panel | — | $250–$500 |
| New foam, per cushion | $150–$300 | $150–$300 |
Six Things Decide It
Yardage and hide area are only two of them.
Joint repair is quoted before any cover goes on.
Leather is cut from batches, not rolls.
A large repeat wastes yardage across a set.
Deep buttoning is hours, not minutes.
Old foam under a new cover shortens the job.
Sets are patterned together, which saves money.

What We Check First
Eight things that decide whether a frame is worth recovering.
Six Cheaper Answers
Reupholstery is not always the right job. These often cost a fraction of it.
A recolour costs a fraction of a recover.
Replace the panel, keep the cover.
New foam in your own covers.
Restitched in matching thread.
Oils and salt off, then resealed.
Joints repaired, cover untouched.

Common Questions
Florida’s statutes are the backstop for what a written estimate has to say before you accept it.
Can I supply my own fabric?
Yes. Tell us the width and the repeat and we will tell you the yardage before you buy it.
Is reupholstery cheaper than a new sofa?
On a frame worth keeping, usually. On a stapled frame, often not, and we will tell you which yours is.
Why is leather so much more?
It is cut from hides rather than a roll, and panels have to come from one batch to match.
Do you work on site?
Dining chairs and built-in seating, often. Full sofas go to the workshop and come back.
