Expert Residential Furniture Upholstery Services
Your home furniture tells a story — family gatherings, quiet reading moments, years of comfort. When upholstery becomes worn, stained, or outdated, professional restoration offers a smart alternative to replacement that preserves the quality construction and sentimental value of pieces you love. My Upholstery Guys brings expert residential upholstery and reupholstery services to Fort Worth and the surrounding DFW area, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern materials to breathe new life into sofas, chairs, ottomans, and treasured antiques.
Professional reupholstery typically costs 40–60% less than purchasing comparable new furniture while delivering superior quality and the opportunity to customize every detail to your exact preferences. Whether you're preserving a family heirloom, updating furniture to match new decor, or rescuing a solid piece with tired upholstery, our craftsmen deliver beautiful, lasting results.
Furniture Reupholstery Services for the DFW Metroplex
Sofa & Couch Reupholstery
Sofas are the centerpiece of most living spaces and the first piece to show wear. Our sofa and couch reupholstery service completely transforms worn pieces — addressing sagging cushions, torn or stained fabric, broken spring systems, and outdated styling. We carefully disassemble the sofa, repair or reinforce the frame, restore or replace the spring suspension system, install new foam and padding, and cover everything in your selected fabric. Whether you have a traditional three-cushion sofa, a modern sectional, a vintage settee, or a sleeper sofa requiring special attention to its mechanism, we deliver results that look and feel better than new.
Chair Reupholstery — Dining, Accent, Wingback & Queen Anne
From formal dining chairs to comfortable reading chairs and beloved recliners, our chair reupholstery service addresses all styles and mechanisms. We restore accent chairs, wingback chairs, Queen Anne chairs, club chairs, dining room and kitchen chairs, recliners with full mechanism inspection, and office chairs for home use. Chair reupholstery is often the most cost-effective restoration we do — even high-quality new chairs are expensive and rarely match the comfort and construction of a well-built older piece.
Sectional & Loveseat Reupholstery
Sectionals present unique challenges — multiple connected pieces, consistent fabric matching across a large surface area, and often complex corner configurations. We take the full sectional apart, assess every piece individually, and rebuild it with consistent material and foam throughout. The finished result is seamless across the entire configuration with no mismatched panels or color variation between sections.
Headboard, Ottoman & Bench Reupholstery
Headboards, ottomans, footstools, piano benches, window seat cushions, and entryway benches are smaller projects but high-visibility pieces in any room. These are excellent candidates for bold fabric choices or textured materials that complement your existing furniture without requiring a full room investment.
Antique Furniture Reupholstery & Restoration
Antique furniture requires specialized knowledge and careful handling to preserve historical integrity while restoring function. We work with Victorian-era pieces using traditional horsehair and spring construction, mid-century modern furniture requiring period-appropriate techniques, heirloom pieces passed down through generations, and valuable pieces requiring museum-quality restoration. We can source or replicate historical materials and employ traditional hand-tying techniques when authenticity matters, or sympathetically update antiques with modern comfort while preserving their character.
Leather Furniture Repair & Reupholstery
Leather furniture repair covers cracked panels, torn seams, worn armrests and seat surfaces, and full reupholstery in new top-grain or aniline leather. We work with corrected-grain leather for consistent appearance and enhanced durability, full-grain and aniline leathers that develop patina over time, and quality leather alternatives where the look matters more than the material. Leather work requires precise cutting and seaming that differs from fabric upholstery — we have the equipment and experience to do it correctly.
Custom Upholstery Work
We create custom cushions for modified layouts and renovated spaces, fabricate new upholstered pieces for full room projects, and design multi-functional pieces for rooms where space requires creative solutions. If you have a vision for a space that requires something that doesn't exist off the shelf, bring it to us and we'll build it.

Materials & Options for Residential Upholstery
Residential upholstery offers the widest range of material options of any upholstery category, allowing you to match your home's aesthetic precisely.
Fabric options include designer upholstery fabrics in hundreds of colors and patterns, durable performance fabrics with stain resistance, natural fibers including cotton, linen, and wool, synthetic options like polyester and microfiber for easy care, textured weaves including chenille and jacquard, and velvet and velour for luxurious surface appearance.
Foam and cushioning determines the long-term comfort of the finished piece. We offer high-density foam in firmness levels from soft to extra-firm, memory foam for adaptive comfort, down alternative for a plush luxurious feel, and spring-down combinations for traditional support with a soft surface. Getting the foam right is as important as the fabric — it's what makes a restoration feel like an upgrade rather than just a replacement.
Leather options include top-grain leather in finishes from smooth to distressed, aniline and semi-aniline leathers that develop beautiful patina with age, corrected-grain leathers offering consistent appearance and enhanced durability, and quality bonded leather alternatives for budget-conscious projects.
Trim and detail options add character including decorative nail heads in various finishes, welting and cording in contrast or coordinating fabrics, button tufting for classic or modern looks, pleated or gathered skirts, and bullion or tassel fringe for traditional styling.
During consultation we guide you through all options, help you make selections that align with your aesthetic preferences and functional needs, and can order fabric samples for you to view in your home's lighting before final decisions.
How Much Does Reupholstery Cost?
Reupholstery cost is one of the most common questions we get — and the honest answer is that it depends heavily on the piece, the fabric, and the scope of structural work required. Here are the general ranges we work within.
Sofa & Couch Reupholstery Cost
Sofa reupholstery typically runs $800–$2,000 depending on size, style, and fabric. A standard three-cushion sofa in a mid-range performance fabric lands in the $900–$1,400 range. A large sectional or a sofa requiring significant frame or spring work will run higher. Designer fabric adds to any quote. The sofa reupholstery cost is almost always significantly less than a quality replacement piece, and the result is built on a frame that was likely made better than anything available at retail today.
Chair Reupholstery Cost
Chair reupholstery cost varies by chair type. Dining chair seat-only recovery runs $75–$150 per chair. Accent chairs and wingbacks in full reupholstery run $250–$600. Large club chairs or recliners with mechanism work run $400–$900. The cost to reupholster chairs is almost always justified when the frame is solid — quality chair frames outlast several rounds of fabric.
Sectional Reupholstery Cost
Sectional reupholstery runs $1,500–$4,000+ depending on the number of pieces and configuration. The per-section cost is similar to sofa pricing but the total reflects the scale of the project. Fabric selection has more impact on a sectional than any other piece because the surface area is large — a midrange fabric versus a designer fabric can be a $500+ difference on a full sectional.
What Affects the Price of Reupholstering Furniture
Four factors move the price up or down: the size and complexity of the piece, the fabric you select (budget fabrics run $15–$25 per yard, designer fabrics $50–$150+), whether frame or spring repair is needed, and whether decorative details like button tufting or nail heads are included. We provide a detailed written estimate after examining your furniture so you know the full scope before any work begins.
Is It Worth Reupholstering or Should You Buy New?
If your furniture has solid construction — hardwood frames, quality joinery, hand-tied springs — reupholstery almost always delivers better value than buying new at the same price point. Modern mass-produced furniture is built to a cost target: particle board frames, stapled joints, and low-density foam that compresses within a few years. Your existing quality piece, properly restored, will outlast and outperform comparably priced new furniture.
Is it cheaper to reupholster or buy new? For quality furniture the math almost always favors reupholstery. For very inexpensive original construction that doesn't have a solid frame, replacement is the right call — and we'll tell you that honestly at the assessment rather than take the job. The exception that works the other direction is when the piece has significant sentimental value or is an antique with intrinsic worth beyond its function — in those cases restoration is the right choice regardless of the cost comparison.

Frequently Asked Questions About Furniture Reupholstery
How much does furniture reupholstery cost?
Residential upholstery costs vary based on furniture size, complexity, and fabric selected. Dining chair seats cost $75–$150 each, accent chairs run $250–$600, ottomans cost $150–$400, and sofas range from $800–$2,000. Antique restoration requiring specialized work may cost more. Fabric selection significantly impacts total cost — budget fabrics run $15–$25 per yard while designer fabrics can run $50–$150+ per yard. We provide detailed written estimates after examining your furniture and discussing your material preferences.
How long does furniture reupholstery take?
Most residential upholstery projects take 2–6 weeks depending on furniture complexity and current schedule. Simple pieces like dining chairs or ottomans typically require 2–3 weeks. Sofas and more complex pieces usually take 3–4 weeks. Multi-piece projects or antique restoration may need 4–8 weeks. We give you a realistic timeline at consultation and keep you updated throughout.
Can you reupholster a leather couch?
Yes. We reupholster leather sofas and chairs in new top-grain or aniline leather, corrected-grain leather, or quality leather alternatives. We also do leather repair for cracked panels, torn seams, and worn armrests as a less expensive alternative to full reupholstery when the damage is limited to specific areas.
What fabric is best for reupholstering a sofa?
For high-use family sofas, performance fabrics with stain resistance and rub ratings of 50,000+ double rubs are the practical choice. For formal pieces with lighter use, designer fabrics, velvet, and natural fibers are all appropriate. We advise based on your household — pets, kids, and sun exposure all factor into the recommendation. The wrong fabric for your use pattern will wear out faster regardless of how well the work is done.
How much fabric do I need to reupholster a sofa?
A standard sofa typically requires 12–15 yards of fabric. A sectional needs 20–30+ yards depending on configuration. A single accent chair needs 4–7 yards. Pattern matching adds 15–25% to these estimates. We calculate the exact yardage needed for your specific piece and order it through our supplier accounts — you don't need to figure this out on your own.
Can I provide my own fabric?
Yes. If you source your own fabric we'll advise on the amount needed and appropriate fabric weight for your piece. We typically recommend selecting from our supplier relationships where we can ensure proper upholstery-weight fabric and often provide better pricing through our trade accounts — but customer-supplied fabric is always an option.
Is it worth reupholstering a couch or sofa?
Yes, in almost every case where the frame is solid. A quality sofa frame built from hardwood with proper joinery can last 50+ years. The fabric and foam are the consumable part. Replacing them at $800–$2,000 to get another 15–20 years from a frame that would cost $2,500–$5,000 to replace is straightforward value math. The only exception is a sofa built on a compromised or low-quality frame — and we'll tell you at the assessment if that's the case.
Is it cheaper to reupholster or buy new furniture?
For quality furniture, reupholstery is almost always cheaper and produces a better result. The piece you already own — if it's well-built — has a frame that outperforms what you'd get in new furniture at the same price. You're paying to restore a superior product. Where the calculation shifts is cheap original construction where the frame isn't worth investing in — but a solid frame almost always makes reupholstery the right financial decision.
How much does it cost to reupholster a chair?
Dining chair seat recovery runs $75–$150 per chair. Fully reupholstered accent chairs run $250–$600. Large wingbacks or club chairs run $400–$800. Recliners with mechanism inspection and repair run $400–$900. The exact cost depends on the chair's size, style, and whether any structural work is needed.
How long does reupholstery last?
Quality reupholstery using appropriate materials lasts 10–20+ years with normal use. The frame typically outlasts multiple rounds of fabric. How long the fabric lasts depends on the material you choose, how the piece is used, UV exposure, and whether you have pets or children. We guide you toward materials matched to your actual use pattern so the longevity is appropriate for the investment.
Do you pick up and deliver in the DFW area?
Yes. We offer pickup and delivery for residential projects. Cost varies based on furniture size and your location within the DFW area. All furniture is properly protected during transport. For smaller pieces like dining chairs and ottomans, many customers prefer to drop off and pick up themselves — we accommodate both.
Can you repair furniture frames and springs?
Absolutely. Frame and spring repair is part of every restoration we do. We repair broken or cracked frames, reinforce weakened joints, replace damaged support webbing, retie sagging spring systems, and replace broken springs. These structural repairs happen before any fabric goes on — there's no point in putting new upholstery on a compromised foundation.
