NYC Reupholstery rebuilds each piece in its own workshop, from the frame and springs to the fabric, and delivers it back to your door.

How reupholstery works in a New York apartment

The part most people worry about is getting the sofa out of the building. That is our job, not yours.

1

Text us photos

Send a photo of the piece to (914) 449-4334. Most quotes go out the same day, with fabric yardage listed separately.

2

Pick a fabric

Choose from velvets, linens, boucles, performance weaves, vinyl and leather, or use your own material from a showroom.

3

Pickup

We schedule a window, bring the certificate of insurance your building wants, and carry the piece out, walk-up or freight elevator.

4

Rebuilt, then delivered

Frame, springs, foam and fabric done in our workshop, then delivered back and placed in the room. Sofas take two to four weeks.

Why New Yorkers reupholster instead of replace

A sofa with a hardwood frame and hand tied springs, the kind that came with an Upper East Side apartment or was bought vintage in Greenpoint, is better built than anything sold at the same price today. Recovering it costs less than replacing it at the same quality, and the piece already fits through your door.

Our workshop strips furniture to the frame, repairs joints, reties springs, replaces foam and fits new fabric with matched patterns and hand finished corners. Antiques get hand tied springs and horsehair. Wood gets hand stripped and refinished, never belt sanded through the veneer.

We pick up and deliver across the five boroughs. We bring the certificate of insurance your co-op wants, book the freight elevator, and carry pieces down brownstone stairs and pre-war walk-ups every week.

What New York customers say

Couch and loveseat reupholstery

Marcos is as professional as it gets and truly a hard worker. I was given consistent updates about the progress of the job and photos along the way. I was so nervous to see the final product for no reason at all. My couch and loveseat turned out spectacular.

Shelly Highland · New York, NY
Office chair reupholstery

My office chairs were starting to look old and outdated and people in my office started to complain. I decided to take a chance on this company and let them choose a new fabric for me. I am so glad I let them take the reigns because it saved me money on new chairs and looks great.

Questions New Yorkers ask before reupholstering

How much does reupholstery cost in NYC?

It depends on the piece, the fabric and what we find under the old cover. A written quote with labor and fabric yardage listed separately usually goes out the same day from photos, before any pickup. Text a photo to (914) 449-4334 and you will know before you commit to anything.

Is reupholstering cheaper than buying new furniture?

For a piece with a hardwood frame, reupholstering costs less than a new piece of the same quality and it lasts longer, because we rebuild the springs and cushions rather than only recovering it. In a New York apartment it also avoids delivery, elevator reservations, building fees and disposal of the old piece.

Do you pick up and deliver furniture?

Yes. We pick up and deliver in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island. We provide a certificate of insurance for buildings that require one, book the freight elevator, and carry pieces down walk-ups and brownstone stairs.

How long does reupholstery take?

Two to four weeks for sofas and larger pieces, one to three weeks for chairs, and often within the week for cushion foam replacement and small upholstery repairs. Fabric lead time is the usual variable.

Can I use my own fabric?

Yes. Customer supplied fabric from the D and D Building, designer showrooms or online is welcome. Tell us the width and pattern repeat and we will give you the exact yardage. We also carry velvet, linen, boucle, performance fabric, vinyl and leather by the yard.
