That sectional where your family gathers every Sunday. The dining chairs your grandmother passed down. The reading chair that’s perfectly broken in.
You know they’re worth saving, but you’re tired of looking at worn fabric and sagging cushions. Quality upholstery services give these pieces 15-20 more years of life while costing 60-80% less than replacement.
You get custom fabric selection that actually fits your style, professional-grade padding that feels better than the original, and craftsmanship that handles Miami’s demanding climate. Your furniture returns home looking stunning and feeling brand new.
Miami Design Group has transformed thousands of furniture pieces across 15 years of operation. Our experience in NYC and Toronto, combined with deep South Florida knowledge, means we understand both quality craftsmanship and climate challenges.
Operating from Hallandale Beach gives us intimate familiarity with Kendall’s established neighborhoods and the quality furniture that deserves professional restoration. We’ve seen what Miami’s humidity does to poor upholstery work—and we use materials and techniques that prevent those failures.
As a comprehensive design company, we coordinate upholstery projects with window treatments, home automation, and other design elements. This matters when you want everything in your space to work together beautifully.
Your project starts with an in-home consultation where we evaluate your furniture’s structure and discuss your vision. You’ll see actual fabric samples and receive detailed pricing with every cost clearly explained.
Fabric selection happens next, focusing on materials that thrive in South Florida’s climate. Performance fabrics resist stains and fading while handling humidity better than standard options. You choose colors and patterns that complement your space perfectly.
Professional restoration takes place in our facility using commercial-grade equipment. Each piece gets structural reinforcement where needed, premium padding that maintains comfort over decades, and precise fabric installation designed for Miami’s expansion and contraction cycles.
Final delivery includes careful placement in your home and a complete walkthrough to ensure every detail meets your expectations.

Complete upholstery service means stripping old fabric, inspecting and reinforcing the frame, evaluating spring systems, and replacing padding with high-resilience foam that maintains shape and comfort for years.
Kendall homeowners benefit from fabric expertise that considers local conditions. High humidity demands mold and mildew resistance. Intense UV exposure requires fade-resistant treatments. Families with children or pets need stain protection that actually works.
You also get pattern matching for complex designs, custom piping and trim work, and structural repairs that extend furniture life. Professional disposal of old materials and careful home setup complete the service.
Kendall’s mature neighborhoods feature quality furniture from the 1980s and 1990s with solid hardwood frames that outlast most new pieces. Professional reupholstery transforms these well-built pieces into furniture that looks custom and lasts decades longer.
Upholstery costs in Kendall typically range from $562-$784 for standard pieces, but vary from $226-$1,266 based on size, fabric choice, and structural work needed. Dining chairs run $150-250 each, while large sectionals cost $800-1,500.
Fabric selection drives much of the cost difference. Basic cotton starts around $15-25 per yard, while performance fabrics that resist Miami’s humidity and UV exposure run $35-60 per yard. The performance fabrics save money long-term by lasting years longer without fading or deteriorating.
We provide detailed quotes after examining your furniture in person. This prevents surprises and ensures you understand exactly what work is included, from structural repairs to final delivery and setup.
Most upholstery projects take 2-4 weeks from pickup to delivery, depending on complexity and current workload. Simple dining chairs might finish in 10-14 days, while sectionals or antique pieces requiring structural work could take 4-6 weeks.
Timeline includes fabric ordering if you choose materials not in stock. Popular performance fabrics usually arrive within a week, but specialty or custom fabrics can add 2-3 weeks to the schedule.
We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated throughout the process. Miami’s humidity affects drying times for adhesives and finishes, so we plan accordingly rather than rushing work that needs proper curing time.
South Florida’s humidity and intense UV exposure demand specific fabric types for lasting results. Solution-dyed acrylics and performance polyesters resist fading and handle moisture far better than cotton or linen.
Crypton and similar performance fabrics offer stain resistance while staying breathable. These materials resist mold and mildew growth—crucial in Miami’s humid environment. They also clean easily, important for families with children or pets who actually use their furniture.
Leather works well if properly treated with UV protection and regular conditioning. Avoid bonded leather or cheap vinyl that crack quickly in heat and humidity. Full-grain leather with proper care lasts decades in South Florida, though it requires more maintenance than performance fabrics.
We maintain relationships with fabric suppliers and often locate discontinued patterns or create close matches. We keep extensive sample libraries and work with mills specializing in vintage design reproduction.
For exact matches, we can work with remaining fabric pieces you provide. Even small swatches help identify the original manufacturer and pattern number. Digital fabric printing also allows custom reproduction when original sources aren’t available.
If exact matching isn’t possible, our experienced designers suggest complementary fabrics that coordinate with existing pieces. Sometimes this creates a better overall look than matching something that’s faded or worn over time.
Quality furniture with solid wood frames almost always benefits from reupholstery over replacement. Pre-1980 furniture often features hardwood construction and joinery techniques that exceed most modern manufacturing.
The financial comparison typically favors reupholstery. Quality sofas cost $2,000-4,000 new, while professional reupholstery runs $800-1,500. You get custom fabric selection, often better padding than the original, plus you preserve solid construction that’s increasingly rare.
Sentimental value adds another dimension entirely. Family heirlooms and emotionally significant pieces can’t be replaced at any price. Professional restoration adds 15-20 years of life while maintaining the memories and character that make these pieces irreplaceable.
We offer pickup and delivery throughout Kendall, Pinecrest, Coral Gables, and surrounding areas. This eliminates the hassle of transporting heavy furniture and ensures proper protection during transit.
Our pickup service includes furniture evaluation, measurement, and photo documentation. Our professional crews use proper lifting techniques and protective materials to prevent damage. We include this service in our project pricing—no hidden fees.
Delivery includes careful placement in your home and removal of protective coverings. We handle minor adjustments and provide care instructions for your newly upholstered furniture. This complete approach ensures the best results and your total satisfaction with the finished project.
