Find professional upholstery repair services near you

If your sofa's damage is too significant, simple repairs may not be enough. A great way to determine whether you should get your furniture reupholstered is carefully looking at the springs in the frame. Sofas of high quality have coiled springs bound with twine in a sort of snowflake or asterisk pattern throughout. If this is the case, you can easily have your sofa reupholstered. If, however, your sofa contains rubber panels instead of springs, then consider getting it replaced.

Quality upholstered furniture typically lasts anywhere between seven to fifteen years. Furniture placed in homes with children and pets can suffer more damage and thus have a shorter lifespan, but with proper maintenance and care, your furniture can last longer. Once you notice any tatters, hear popping noises, or feel a "sinking" feeling when you sit on your sofa, it's best to get it repaired quickly or replaced with a new one.

It all depends on the extent and severity of damage found in your couches and chairs. In general, an upholstery repair is a simple and straightforward process that can take a few hours. On the other hand, if you need to reupholster your sofa completely, additional time may be required. If you want to know the time frame of your upholstery service, just ask your Tasker, and they'll be happy to go over the job with you.

Properly maintaining your upholstered sofas and chairs can help you extend their longevity and retain their quality. First and foremost, avoid direct sunlight on your upholstered furniture to prevent deterioration. Also do regular vacuum cleaning now and then to prevent dust, grime, and dirt seeping into the fibres of your upholstery. You can also invest in specialized stain protectors for added protection and for slowing down any environmental damage.
