furniture reupholstery Miami: a leather sofa being worked on in a Miami home

furniture reupholstery Miami Fabric, Frame And Everything Under

Reupholstery is three trades at once: the frame, the padding and the cover. Only the last one is visible when it is done.

What this is

What The Job Actually Is

Every furniture reupholstery Miami booking turns on one thing: fabric and frame work. Everything below follows from that.

Where It Works, Where It Stops

We would rather say no on the phone than take a piece we cannot put right. These are the honest edges of the job.

Asked before every estimate

Common Questions

Can I supply my own fabric?

Yes. Tell us the width and repeat and we will tell you the yardage.

Do you reupholster on site?

Dining chairs and built-in seating, often. Full sofas go to the workshop and come back.

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.

What do you need from me?

Two photographs. One wide enough to show the piece, one close on the damage.

Which areas do you cover?

All of Miami-Dade. Start at the county page.
