We specialize in custom upholstery alongside window treatments, home automation, and complete interior design services. This one-stop approach means you work with professionals who understand how all the elements of your space connect, rather than coordinating multiple contractors who may not share the same vision.
Our focus on South Florida’s unique environment means every project considers humidity, salt air, and intense UV exposure that can damage inferior materials and workmanship.
Our process starts with understanding what you want to achieve with your furniture. Whether you’re restoring a family heirloom, updating pieces to match a new design direction, or creating something completely custom, the conversation focuses on your specific needs and vision.
Next comes fabric selection and project planning. You’ll see samples that work well in South Florida’s climate, discuss timeline expectations, and get transparent pricing with no hidden fees. We handle pickup and delivery, so you don’t have to worry about transportation logistics.

Cutler Bay’s proximity to Biscayne Bay and the Florida Keys means furniture needs to withstand marine environments, high humidity, and constant sun exposure. Professional-grade fabrics and proper installation techniques make the difference between upholstery that lasts years versus months.
Our service includes pickup and delivery throughout the area, detailed project timelines, and transparent communication throughout the process. You’ll know what to expect and when to expect it, with updates if anything changes along the way.
Upholstery costs typically range from $380 to $1,150 per piece, with an average around $720. The final price depends on the size and complexity of your furniture, the fabric you choose, and any structural repairs needed.
Fabric costs generally run $50-70 per yard, while labor ranges from $40-100 per hour depending on the complexity of the work. For expensive, vintage, or discontinued furniture, reupholstery often costs significantly less than finding comparable replacement pieces.
Getting a detailed estimate upfront helps you make informed decisions about which pieces are worth restoring versus replacing, and what fabric choices fit within your budget.
South Florida’s high humidity, intense UV exposure, and salt air require fabrics specifically designed for challenging environments. Marine-grade fabrics, solution-dyed acrylics like Sunbrella, and treated natural fibers perform well in these conditions.
Avoid untreated cotton or silk, which can fade quickly and develop mold issues in humid conditions. Synthetic blends with UV protection and moisture-resistant treatments offer good durability while maintaining comfort and appearance.
We discuss fabric options that match your style preferences while providing the performance characteristics needed for long-term satisfaction in this climate.
Most upholstery projects take one to twelve weeks depending on the complexity and size of the furniture. Simple dining chairs might be completed in one to two weeks, while larger pieces like sectional sofas or antique restorations typically require more time.
Factors that affect timeline include fabric availability, the extent of structural repairs needed, and seasonal demand fluctuations. Hurricane season and tourist season can sometimes impact schedules, so planning ahead helps ensure timely completion.
We provide realistic timelines upfront and communicate any changes that might affect your project’s completion date.
Antique and sentimental furniture often makes excellent candidates for professional restoration. These pieces typically feature solid wood construction and quality craftsmanship that’s worth preserving, even when the upholstery is beyond repair.
Our restoration process includes structural assessment and repair, replacement of worn springs or padding, and careful installation of period-appropriate or updated fabrics that maintain the piece’s character. This preserves both the monetary and emotional value of family heirlooms.
Professional restoration can actually increase the value of antique pieces while ensuring they remain functional and beautiful for years to come.
Yes, our professional upholstery services include pickup and delivery throughout Cutler Bay and surrounding areas. This eliminates the hassle of trying to transport large furniture pieces yourself.
Our pickup service includes careful handling and protection of your furniture during transport. Delivery includes placement in your desired location and removal of any protective coverings.
This service is particularly valuable for larger pieces, antique furniture that requires special handling, or when you simply don’t have the vehicle or manpower to handle transportation safely.
Reupholstery makes sense when you have quality furniture with good bones, pieces with sentimental value, or items that fit your space perfectly. New furniture often lacks the solid construction of older pieces and may not match your exact size or style requirements.
The environmental impact also differs significantly. Reupholstery keeps furniture out of landfills while avoiding the resources needed to manufacture new pieces. For families conscious about sustainability, restoration represents a responsible choice.
Cost comparison depends on the specific situation, but reupholstery often provides better value for high-quality original furniture, especially when you factor in the time and effort of shopping for suitable replacements.
