Reupholstery in New York City
Wondering whether to reupholster it or just buy new? In a New York apartment the honest answer is usually to keep it: the frame is solid, the piece already fits the room and the stairwell, and new furniture is not built like it used to be. NYC Reupholstery strips sofas, chairs, antiques and commercial seating to the frame, reties the springs, replaces the foam and recovers them in the fabric you choose, then delivers them back to your door anywhere in the five boroughs. Most pieces are back within two to four weeks, and the workshop sends progress photos, so you are never left wondering who still has your couch. More than 25 years in the city, 5.0 stars from 27 reviews. Text a photo to (914) 449-4334 for a written quote, usually the same day.
- Sofa sagging or the fabric worn through? We rebuild the springs and foam and recover it in the fabric you choose. It never has to fit through your door again.
- Dining chairs that no longer match? Sets are recovered per chair, and drop-in seats are often done in one visit.
- Inherited or antique piece? Hand tied springs, horsehair and period fabric, so it keeps its value and its shape.
- The cat got to one arm? One panel repaired with matched fabric instead of recovering the whole piece.
- Restaurant booths or office chairs looking tired? Picked up in batches after close, so the room never goes dark.

Pick a fabric
Choose from velvets, linens, boucles, performance weaves, vinyl and leather, or use your own material from a showroom.
Pickup
We schedule a window, bring the certificate of insurance your building wants, and carry the piece out, walk-up or freight elevator.
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.

How pickup works in your buildingQuestions 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.
Do you guarantee your work, and what if the price changes once you open the piece up?
We guarantee the job will be done right, or we will make it right. If we find hidden damage once the old cover is off, you hear about it and approve the price before any extra work is done. Your written quote lists labor and fabric separately before pickup.
