Professional Residential Upholstery Solutions
Preserving Treasured Furniture
Your home furniture tells a story—family gatherings, quiet reading moments, and 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 When upholstery becomes worn, stained, or outdated, professional restoration offers a smart alternative to replacement that preserves the quality construction and sentimental value of pieces you love.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 services to Fort Worth and the surrounding DFW area, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern materials to breathe new life into sofas, 26 chairs, ottomans, and treasured antiques. Our residential upholstery specialists understand that your furniture is more than just functional pieces—they’re investments in comfort and important elements of your home’s character and style.
Quality Craftsmanship for Lasting Results
We work with homeowners who value quality and appreciate the superior construction of older, well built furniture that simply can’t be matched by today’s mass-produced alternatives. 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 you’ll be proud to showcase in your home.
Furniture We Reupholster
Sofas & Sectionals
Sofas are often the centerpiece of living spaces and family gathering areas. Our sofa reupholstery ser vices completely transform worn pieces, addressing sagging cushions, torn or stained fabric, broken spring systems, and outdated styling. We carefully disassemble your 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 sec tional, a vintage settee, or a sleeper sofa requiring special attention to mechanics, our team has the expertise to deliver excellent results.
Chairs & Recliners
From formal dining chairs to comfortable reading chairs and beloved recliners, our chair reupholstery services address all styles and mechanisms. We restore accent chairs, wing chairs, club chairs, dining room chairs, recliner mechanisms and padding, and office/desk chairs for home use. Chair reuphol stery is often the most cost-effective furniture restoration since even high-quality new chairs can be expensive and may not match the comfort and construction of your existing piece.
Ottomans & Benches
These versatile pieces add function and style to any room. We reupholster storage ottomans, cocktail ottomans, footstools and footrests, piano benches, window seat cushions, and entryway benches. These smaller projects are excellent opportunities to introduce bold fabrics or textures that complement your existing furniture.
Antique Furniture
Antique furniture requires specialized knowledge and careful handling to preserve historical integrity while ensuring functional restoration. Our antique restoration services include Victorian-era pieces with traditional horsehair and spring construction, mid-century modern furniture requiring period-ap propriate techniques, heirloom pieces passed down through generations, and valuable furniture requir ing museum-quality restoration. We can source or replicate historical materials and employ traditional techniques when authenticity is important, or we can sympathetically update antiques with modern comfort while preserving their character.

Materials & Options for Residential Upholstery
Residential upholstery offers the widest range of material options, allowing you to perfectly match your home’s aesthetic and your personal style.
Fabric options include designer upholstery fabrics in hundreds of colors and patterns, durable performance fabrics with stain resistance, natural fibers like 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 touch and appearance.
Leather options for residential use include top-grain leather in various finishes from smooth to dis tressed, aniline and semi-aniline leathers that develop beautiful patina, corrected-grain leathers offering consistent appearance and enhanced durability, and bonded leather alternatives for budget conscious projects.
Foam and cushioning dramatically affects comfort and longevity, so we offer high-density foam in various firmness levels from soft to extra-firm, memory foam for adaptive comfort, down alternative for plush, luxurious feel, and spring-down combinations for traditional support with soft surface.
Trim and details add custom touches 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 your consultation, we guide you through these options, helping you make selections that align with your aesthetic preferences, functional needs, and budget. We can order fabric samples for you to view in your home’s lighting before making final decisions.
The Value of Furniture Reupholstery
Quality furniture is built to last generations, but upholstery fabrics eventually wear out. When you compare reupholstery costs to new furniture prices, the value becomes clear. A quality new sofa costs $1,500-$4,000+, while reupholstery typically runs $800-$2,000. New accent chairs cost $400-$1,200+, while reupholstery usually costs $250-$600. Beyond direct cost savings, reupholstery pre serves superior construction of older, well-built furniture, maintains comfort of pieces you know and love, retains sentimental value of family heirlooms, offers complete customization of fabric and details, and provides environmental benefits by reducing furniture waste.
Well-built vintage and antique furniture often features solid hardwood frames, hand-tied spring sys tems, and quality construction techniques that are rare in modern mass-produced furniture. Preserving these pieces through professional reupholstery gives you the best of both worlds—proven quality and construction with fresh, updated styling.
When to Repair vs. Replace Cushions
Cushion comfort is critical to furniture enjoyment. We evaluate cushion condition during assessment and recommend repair (adding foam layers or batting), partial replacement (new foam in existing ticking), or complete replacement (new foam and ticking) based on current condition and your comfort preferences. Often, cushions that seem hopelessly flat can be revitalized with new high-density foam cores, restoring or even improving original comfort at a fraction of the cost of new furniture.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does furniture reupholstery cost?
Residential upholstery costs vary based on furniture size, complexity, and fabric selected. As general guidance, 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 may cost $15-$25 per yard while designer fabrics can run $50-$150+ per yard. We provide detailed 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 our 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 provide realistic timelines during consultation and keep you informed of progress throughout your project.
Can I provide my own fabric?
Yes, some customers prefer to source their own fabric. If you choose this route, we’ll advise you on the amount needed (always purchase extra for pattern matching and potential errors) and appropriate fabric types for your furniture’s use. However, we typically recommend selecting from our supplier re lationships where we can ensure appropriate upholstery-weight fabrics and often provide better pricing through our trade accounts.
Is reupholstering worth it compared to buying new furniture?
If your furniture has solid construction with hardwood frames and quality joinery, reupholstery almost always delivers better value than new furniture in the same price range. Modern mass-produced furniture often uses particle board frames, stapled joints, and low-quality foam that won’t last. Your existing quality piece, professionally reupholstered, will likely outlast and outperform comparably priced new furniture. The exception is furniture with damaged frames or very inexpensive original construction that doesn’t warrant restoration investment.
Can you repair furniture frames and springs?
Absolutely. Frame and spring repair is an integral part of professional upholstery restoration. We repair broken or cracked frames, reinforce weakened joints, replace damaged support webbing, retie sagging spring systems, and replace broken springs. These structural repairs ensure your furniture is sound and supportive before we install new upholstery, giving you furniture that functions like new.
Do you offer pickup and delivery?
We can discuss pickup and delivery options for your project. Some customers prefer to transport fur niture themselves, while others appreciate the convenience of our pickup and delivery service. Costs vary based on furniture size and your location. We always ensure furniture is properly protected during transport to prevent any damage.
