Maine Furniture Upholstery & Reupholstery
The upholstery process can involve a complete strip down and re-build if necessary, using modern and traditional materials, or a facelift recovering the original fabric with new.
If a piece of furniture has a sound frame and is appreciated for its comfort and style, there is no need to replace it, instead have the item reupholstered. Reupholstering is NOT always the cheapest option, however often times it can be when working with high quality pieces with solid wood structures.
It is more environmentally friendly than buying new! Your furniture will not go to waste and end up in landfill. We offer a collection and delivery service so you will not have to lift a finger. Our network of leading fabric suppliers allows us to offer an extensive range of high quality and durable fabrics all tailor-made to your requirements.
