When you furniture is looking tired and out of date, you can
give it a new lease on life with re-upholstery.
Re-upholstery is the technique of repairing old furniture
like recovering a chair, replacing the springs and or foam inside a seat or
repairing the joints etc.
Re-upholstery means extensive reworking of all the springing
and padding, recover means the furniture is generally in good condition and
just needs the fabric changed.
To see your furniture restored to its former glory can be
very satisfying and can be cost effective when the furniture is of a quality
worth recovering.
Cheaper furniture is generally not worth recovering because
the frames and padding are rubbish so would have cost less to buy new then it
would to recover, good quality furniture however is very much worth the effort
because to replace such furniture would cost more than to recover it and
another advantage is that you have far more fabric choices available when you
recover as opposed to buying new.
It is very rare that a piece cannot be restored, whether
modern or antique.
Recovering your furniture is often the way to go as you’re
not going to have to compromise on the style of furniture because of limited
choices on offer when buying retail. It allows you to keep the furniture you love
and know works well in your house and make it as new again.
Reupholstering gives you the opportunity to personalise your
furniture using quality materials and perfected trade techniques that will give
you a piece that will last a lifetime.
At Cover It Upholstery Sydney when we recover any furniture
we also make sure that all the necessary repairs are done and padding added or
replaced where needed, this is all part of the service when you have your
furniture recovered by Cover It.
When the furniture is in a fairy poor state we would need to
re-upholster it first before covering it and this would be at an added cost but
is always determined at the time of quoting and there are never any surprises
at the end, what’s quoted is what’s paid.
There are big differences in what upholsterers consider part
of the job when recovering a customers furniture and many will not do anything
extra in terms of springing or padding etc and will just recover it as they
find it.
At Cover It Upholstery Sydney it goes without saying that we
make sure everything underneath the fabric is sound and will last the expected
time you should get from your recovered furniture.
So when getting quotes to have your furniture recovered,
offcourse you’re going to find cheaper quotes, and if you keep on looking will
find ones even cheaper than that, but you must ask yourself why that is, why
are they willing to do the same job for less? We all have the same overheads in
terms of factory space, utilities, staff, advertising etc etc, so therefore need
the same amount of money each month to survive. The only way you’re going to be
able to do jobs for cheap is if you do them twice as fast… Do you want your job
to be completed twice as fast??
