Your furniture tells your story. That vintage chair from your grandmother, the sectional that’s weathered countless family movie nights, the dining set where you’ve hosted years of celebrations—these pieces hold memories that new furniture simply can’t replace.
When you choose custom upholstery in The Hammocks, you’re not just updating fabric. You’re extending the life of quality craftsmanship while creating something uniquely yours. Your reupholstered pieces become conversation starters, perfectly matched to your Spanish Revival home’s aesthetic, built to handle South Florida’s demanding climate.
The result? Furniture that looks exactly how you imagined it, feels comfortable for your daily routine, and saves you thousands compared to buying new pieces that might not even match the quality of what you already own.
Miami Design Group brings 15 years of upholstery expertise to The Hammocks, with established businesses in NYC and Toronto behind us. We understand what makes this community special—the Spanish Revival architecture, the investment homeowners make in quality, and the climate challenges that destroy inferior work.
Based in nearby Hallandale Beach, we’ve helped thousands of clients transform their spaces while respecting both their vision and their budget. We know The Hammocks residents value quality craftsmanship, which is why we work exclusively with premium upholstery fabrics and proven techniques designed for South Florida conditions.
This isn’t a side business or weekend hobby. We’re a comprehensive design company that handles everything from initial consultation to final installation, with the experience to get it right the first time.
Our furniture upholstery process starts with an in-home consultation where we assess your furniture’s condition and discuss your vision. No guesswork—we examine the frame, existing cushioning, and structural integrity to determine exactly what’s needed.
Next comes fabric selection from our extensive catalog of upholstery fabrics specifically chosen for South Florida conditions. We help you choose options that coordinate with your existing decor while standing up to humidity, temperature changes, and daily use in The Hammocks.
The restoration happens in our workshop, where skilled craftsmen strip away old materials, repair or replace padding and cushioning, then apply your chosen fabric with precision. Every seam is reinforced, every pattern matched, every detail finished to professional standards.
Finally, we deliver and install your transformed pieces, walking you through care instructions to ensure your investment maintains its beauty for years to come.

For The Hammocks residents, this means working with an upholstery contractor who understands your neighborhood’s character. We know how to coordinate upholstery with the terracotta tiles and stucco exteriors that define your community’s Spanish Revival aesthetic. We understand that your median home value of $550,000 deserves craftsmanship that maintains and enhances that investment.
Whether you’re refreshing a single accent chair or reupholstering an entire living room set, we handle residential and commercial projects throughout The Hammocks. Our upholstery fabrics are specifically selected for South Florida’s climate—no fading from intense sun, no mold from humidity, no premature wear from temperature swings.
The difference shows immediately in both appearance and durability, giving you furniture that looks custom-made because it essentially is.
Most upholstery projects in The Hammocks take 2-6 weeks depending on the piece and fabric selection. Simple dining chairs typically complete within 2-3 weeks, while larger items like sectional sofas or pieces requiring structural repair may take 4-6 weeks.
Timeline factors include upholstery fabrics availability, project complexity, and seasonal demand. During peak tourist season, timelines may extend slightly due to increased demand from both residential and commercial clients. We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated throughout the process.
Weather rarely affects workshop time, but delivery scheduling may adjust around severe weather events. We coordinate delivery timing with your schedule to ensure convenient installation in your The Hammocks home.
South Florida upholstery requires materials specifically chosen for humidity, temperature swings, and intense UV exposure. Performance fabrics with moisture-wicking properties, UV-resistant treatments, and mold-resistant backing perform best in The Hammocks climate.
Microfiber, treated cotton blends, and synthetic materials generally outlast natural fibers like untreated cotton or linen. However, proper backing and protective treatments can make many upholstery fabrics viable. Leather requires special conditioning for humidity protection.
We maintain an extensive selection of climate-appropriate upholstery fabrics in various styles, colors, and price points. During consultation, we’ll recommend specific materials based on your piece’s location, usage, and your aesthetic preferences, ensuring your investment maintains its appearance despite South Florida’s demanding conditions.
For quality furniture, reupholstering typically costs 40-60% less than purchasing comparable new pieces while delivering superior results. A well-built sofa that originally cost $2,000 might cost $800-1,200 to reupholster versus $3,000+ for similar quality new furniture.
The savings increase with higher-end pieces. Antiques, heirloom furniture, or pieces with solid wood frames often cost significantly less to restore than replacing with equivalent quality. You also get complete customization—exact upholstery fabrics choices, custom details, and modifications to better fit your space.
Factor in that reupholstered pieces often use better construction methods than mass-produced furniture. You’re preserving quality craftsmanship while creating something perfectly suited to your style and needs, making reupholstery both economically smart and environmentally responsible.
Yes, we service both residential homes and commercial establishments throughout The Hammocks and surrounding areas. Residential projects include living room furniture, dining chairs, bedroom pieces, and outdoor cushions. Commercial work covers restaurant seating, office furniture, hotel lobby pieces, and waiting room chairs.
Commercial upholstery requires different considerations—higher durability requirements, fire-resistant upholstery fabrics, and faster turnaround times to minimize business disruption. We stock commercial-grade materials and can coordinate installation during off-hours or slow periods.
For The Hammocks businesses, we understand the importance of maintaining professional appearance while managing costs. We work with restaurants, medical offices, and retail establishments to refresh seating that sees heavy daily use, using materials specifically chosen for commercial durability and easy maintenance.
Yes, we provide complimentary pickup and delivery throughout The Hammocks for most upholstery projects. Our team carefully wraps and transports your furniture to prevent damage during transit, using proper equipment for larger pieces.
Pickup scheduling works around your availability, typically within 3-5 business days of project approval. We photograph pieces before transport and provide estimated completion dates. Delivery includes professional installation and positioning in your desired location.
For delicate antiques or extremely valuable pieces, we offer white-glove service with additional protective measures. Large commercial projects may require coordination with building management for elevator access or after-hours delivery. All transportation is included in project pricing with no hidden fees or surprise charges.
Most furniture with solid frames can be successfully reupholstered, including sofas, chairs, ottomans, dining room seating, bar stools, and headboards. The key factor is frame condition—solid wood, quality metal, or sturdy composite frames are ideal candidates for reupholstery.
Pieces worth reupholstering typically include antiques, heirloom furniture, expensive original purchases, or items with sentimental value. Even some newer furniture benefits from reupholstery if the frame quality exceeds current retail options in your price range.
We assess each piece individually, checking joint stability, spring systems, and overall structural integrity. If minor repairs are needed, we handle those as part of the reupholstery process. Occasionally, we’ll recommend against reupholstering if frame damage is too extensive, helping you make informed decisions about your furniture investments.
