You walk into your living room and actually feel proud of how it looks. That worn sofa that’s been embarrassing you for months now commands attention for all the right reasons. The fabric feels luxurious under your hands, the colors pop against your walls, and guests compliment your “new” furniture.
This is what happens when furniture upholstery Santa Barbara Shores is done right. Your pieces don’t just get covered with new fabric—they get completely transformed. The sagging cushions regain their support. The faded colors become vibrant again. The worn arms feel solid and comfortable.
You’ve saved 60-80% compared to buying new furniture, but more importantly, you’ve kept pieces that actually matter to you. That chair your grandmother left you. The sectional where your family gathers for movie nights. These aren’t just furniture pieces—they’re part of your home’s story, and now they’ll be part of it for years to come.
Miami Design Group brings serious expertise to Santa Barbara Shores, FL. We’re not just another upholstery contractor—we’re a comprehensive design company that understands how furniture fits into your bigger vision for your space.
Our team has the experience to handle everything from delicate antique restoration to modern sectional reupholstery. We work with residential homeowners who want their living rooms to feel welcoming again, and commercial clients who need durable solutions for high-traffic environments.
What sets us apart in Santa Barbara Shores is our honest approach. We’ll tell you straight up if a piece is worth reupholstering or if you’d be better off starting fresh. We’re not here to waste your money on projects that won’t deliver the results you’re hoping for.
First, we come to you for a free consultation. We examine your furniture, assess the frame and internal structure, and discuss your vision. You’ll know upfront if your piece is a good candidate for reupholstery and what the realistic timeline and cost will be.
Next, we help you select the perfect fabric from our extensive collection. We consider your lifestyle, your home’s exposure to sunlight, and Santa Barbara Shores’ humid climate to recommend materials that will look great and last. Whether you want performance fabrics that resist stains or luxurious leather that ages beautifully, we guide you to the right choice.
Then our craftsmen get to work. We strip your furniture down to the frame, replace any worn padding or springs, and rebuild it with precision. Every seam is sewn with care, every corner is properly fitted, and every detail is checked before we consider the job complete. When we deliver your furniture back to your home, it’s ready to serve your family for years to come.

Your upholstery project includes professional-grade materials specifically chosen for Florida’s climate. We use high-quality foam that won’t break down in humidity, fabrics that resist fading from intense sun exposure, and thread that won’t weaken over time. These aren’t the shortcuts you’ll find with cheaper services.
In Santa Barbara Shores, we see a lot of furniture that’s been damaged by the coastal environment. Salt air, humidity, and UV rays take a toll on upholstery. That’s why we stock marine-grade fabrics, solution-dyed acrylics, and treated leathers that are engineered to handle these conditions. Your reupholstered furniture won’t just look good on delivery day—it’ll stay looking good.
We also include a thorough inspection of your furniture’s frame and internal components. If we find structural issues, we’ll repair them as part of the process. Broken springs get replaced, loose joints get reinforced, and worn webbing gets updated. You’re not just getting new fabric—you’re getting furniture that’s structurally sound and built to last.
Upholstery costs depend on the size of your furniture, the complexity of the work, and the fabric you choose. A typical dining chair might run $150-300, while a large sectional sofa could range from $1,200-2,500. These prices include labor, materials, and any necessary structural repairs.
The key thing to understand is that quality reupholstery costs about 40-60% of what you’d pay for comparable new furniture. When you factor in the superior construction of older furniture frames and the custom fabric selection, reupholstery often delivers better value than buying new.
We always provide detailed estimates upfront, so you’ll know exactly what you’re investing before we start work. There are no surprise charges or hidden fees—just transparent pricing for quality craftsmanship.
Florida’s humidity, salt air, and intense UV exposure require specific fabric considerations. Solution-dyed acrylics like Sunbrella perform exceptionally well because the color goes all the way through the fiber, preventing fading. Performance fabrics with moisture-wicking properties help prevent mold and mildew issues.
For leather upholstery, we recommend treated leathers that resist cracking and fading. Top-grain leather with protective finishes holds up better than cheaper alternatives. We also stock marine-grade vinyls that look like leather but offer superior durability in coastal environments.
Natural fibers like cotton and linen can work, but they need protective treatments and regular maintenance. We’ll walk you through the pros and cons of different materials based on your specific situation, room exposure, and lifestyle needs.
Most upholstery projects take 2-4 weeks from pickup to delivery. Simple jobs like dining chair seats might be completed in 1-2 weeks, while complex pieces like sectional sofas or antique restoration can take 4-6 weeks. The timeline depends on the scope of work and fabric availability.
We provide realistic timeframes upfront and keep you updated throughout the process. If we encounter unexpected structural issues that require additional work, we’ll discuss options with you before proceeding. Rush services are available for an additional fee if you need faster turnaround.
During busy seasons, lead times may extend slightly, but we always communicate expected delivery dates clearly. We’d rather give you an accurate timeline than promise something we can’t deliver.
This depends on the quality of your furniture’s frame and your attachment to the piece. Furniture built before the 1990s often has superior hardwood construction that’s worth preserving. If the frame is solid, the joints are tight, and the springs are in good condition, reupholstery is usually the smart choice.
We provide honest assessments during our free consultations. If your furniture has structural problems that would cost more to fix than the piece is worth, we’ll tell you. We’re not interested in taking your money for projects that won’t deliver good results.
Generally, if you have quality furniture that you love but that looks tired, reupholstery gives you custom results at a fraction of the cost of comparable new pieces. You keep the superior construction and get exactly the look you want.
Yes, we provide complimentary pickup and delivery throughout Santa Barbara Shores, FL, and surrounding areas. Our team carefully wraps and transports your furniture to prevent damage during transit. We’ll coordinate convenient times that work with your schedule.
When we deliver your completed furniture, we’ll unwrap it in your home, position it where you want it, and do a final quality check with you. If anything isn’t exactly right, we’ll address it immediately. We want you to be completely satisfied with both the work and the service experience.
For larger pieces or difficult access situations, we may need to assess logistics during the initial consultation, but we handle the vast majority of projects with standard pickup and delivery service included in your project cost.
We stand behind our craftsmanship with a comprehensive warranty that covers workmanship defects for one full year. This includes seam integrity, proper fitting, and structural repairs we’ve made. If something fails due to our workmanship, we’ll fix it at no charge.
Fabric warranties vary by manufacturer, but most quality upholstery fabrics come with fade and wear warranties ranging from 3-10 years. We’ll explain the specific warranty terms for your chosen fabric during the selection process.
What’s not covered are normal wear, damage from pets or accidents, and fading from extreme sun exposure (though proper fabric selection minimizes this risk). We provide care instructions to help you maintain your newly upholstered furniture and maximize its lifespan.
