How Do I Find a Trustworthy Furniture Restoration Service?

Posted by

It’s important to take your furniture to the right upholstery shop to make sure the job is done right.  Before taking your dining room furniture, antique desk, drapes and valances, or other valuable item to be repaired or reupholstered, it’s a good idea to call the upholstery service and find out as much as you can about the tools, equipment, and methods they use, as well as the expertise of the craftsmen.  Find a restoration and upholstering company you can trust, and the hardest part of the job is done!

Here are some indicators of a high-quality upholstery service:

  • The technicians should work on good quality equipment, including sewing machines, that can accommodate even thick brocades, leather, and heavy canvas.
  • The right tools and materials for the job should be used, such as good mallets and hammers.
  • The technicians should be proficient in working with all types of furniture material and all styles of furniture.
  • The technicians should have extensive training and experience in working with wood, antiques, upholstery, and all other such fields.
  • The workspace and environment should be clean.
  • The work should be done on site and not subcontracted.
  • The quality of the work should be guaranteed.
  • The client should be able to choose from a wide variety of fabrics and materials and should be able to receive guidance in selecting the right material, if desired.
  • Technicians should be bonded and insured.
  • Strong customer service should be given with every interaction.
