Why is reupholstery so expensive?

Reupholstery costs are often higher than cheaply mass produced furniture due to the skilled labor and time-intensive process involved. Each piece requires careful removal of old fabric, repair of any underlying frame or padding issues, and precise cutting and sewing of new materials to fit perfectly. Quality materials, including durable fabrics and high-density foam, add to the expense. Additionally, custom requests and intricate designs increase both material and labor costs. This attention to detail and craftsmanship ensure the piece is restored to last for decades, justifying the investment. Fast furniture (mass produced for big box stores and online retailers) lasts on average 2-5 years before inevitable disposal.

How much does upholstery cost?

Reupholstery costs vary greatly from piece to piece, making a personalized quote necessary. Average labor costs for a small living room chair can vary from $375-$600+, and for a small sofa $1,200-$2,000+. Then you must take into account the cost of foam and fabric, which also vary greatly based on what you choose. Leah Ureche Upholstery is dedicated to ensuring your furniture stands the test of time, making reupholstery a cost effective and sustainable alternative to fast furniture.
