Price list & Terms

The labor chart gives a rough estimate for various types and styles of furniture. These Labor prices* and yardage amounts* are estimated, and the labor prices are based upon:

furniture that is in good condition (springs, frame, and all paddings are OK as-is)
using plain or allover pattern fabrics* that don't need to be matched.
the labor prices do not include the supplies used in the reupholstery process. There is an additional charge for supplies used in the reupholstery process, depending upon what is needed.)
the below labor prices do not include alterations, extra work, unusual furniture or antiques, which are priced on an individual basis.

We are a custom upholstery shop. We can cover your furniture in a number of different ways. The actual labor prices and yardages amounts could be different for your furniture depending upon what we do to your furniture. (See details at the bottom of this page.)

Prices are subject to change without notice.

Common sense is the best principle. The worse the condition, the more time is required and the greater the cost of restoration will be. Restoring back to the same style, no repairs to frames or springs, the lower the cost of restoration.
