Upholstery Repair in New York City
Upholstery repair in New York City for the sofa or chair that has one problem and is otherwise fine: a split seam, a cat scratched arm, a seat that sags on one side, a cushion that went flat, leather cracking next to a radiator. NYC Reupholstery fixes the damage in your apartment or in our workshop instead of recovering the whole piece, and tells you honestly when a full reupholstery would be the better spend. Pet damage, moving damage and spring failures are weekly work for us across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island, and we have repaired upholstery in the city for more than 25 years. Text photos of the damage to (914) 449-4334 and you will usually have a price within a few hours.

When to call for upholstery repair
- A seam has split along a cushion, arm or back panel
- Fabric is torn or scratched on one arm or corner but fine everywhere else
- The seat sags on one side or you feel a spring when you sit
- A cushion zipper broke or the cushion insert has gone flat
- Leather is cracking or peeling near a radiator or window
- The piece was damaged during a move within the city
Upholstery Repair in New York City, done properly
Upholstery repair is the middle option between living with the damage and reupholstering the entire piece. A seam that opened along a cushion, a cat scratched arm panel, a seat that sags because a spring clip let go, a zipper that split on a back cushion: these are repairs, not rebuilds. We fix them in the workshop or, for smaller jobs, in your apartment.
In New York the most common calls are pet damage on sofa arms and corners, seats that collapsed after a spring or webbing failure, seams that gave out on sleeper sofas that get opened every weekend, and leather that dried and cracked next to a radiator in a pre-war building. We also repair moving damage: torn dust covers, crushed corners and cushions that got wet in a truck are common after a move within the city.
When the original fabric is discontinued we can often harvest matching fabric from the back or underside of the piece to patch a visible panel, so the repair disappears. When the damage is widespread across the whole piece, we will tell you honestly that a full reupholstery makes more sense and quote both.

Upholstery Repair questions from New York customers
Can a torn couch be repaired without reupholstering the whole thing?
Usually, yes. A torn or scratched panel can be replaced on its own, and if the original fabric is discontinued we harvest matching fabric from the back or underside of the sofa so the repair blends in.
Why does my sofa sag on one side?
Most often a spring clip or a strip of jute webbing under the seat has let go. Both are repairable without recovering the sofa. We retie the springs, replace the webbing and add new foam to the cushion so both sides sit level again.
Do you repair pet damage on furniture?
Cat scratched arms and chewed corners are some of our most common repairs in Manhattan and Brooklyn. We replace the damaged panel and can switch that panel to a tighter performance weave that claws do not catch as easily.
Can you repair furniture that was damaged during a move?
Yes. Crushed corners, torn dust covers, wet cushions and broken legs from a move are all repairable. Take photos before the movers leave if you plan to claim it, then send them to us for a quote.
Do you come to my apartment for small repairs?
For seams, zippers and single cushion work, yes, across the five boroughs. Structural repairs and anything that needs the piece stripped are picked up and done in the workshop.
