V Upholstery Inc
Upholsterers in Lake in the Hills, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars11 December 2017
“V Upholstery Inc has completed many projects here on our college campus over the past 5 to 10 years. The projects run the gambit from small repairs to larger multiple piece complete reupholstery. What ever task I have asked Vince to do he has done an outstanding job. He shows up on time and completes projects when promised. I trust his judgement and is one of only a very few vendors who I have recommended to friends and coworkers and received only positive feedback.”

“Beautiful worksmanship. Julio recovered an antique mission rocker and a 40 year old sofa that now looks brand new. Everything was completed in a timely manner. Very reasonably priced. Far exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended.”

Upcycling has become more and more popular lately, as the fashion for retro and rustic furniture has returned, but doing it yourself can cause all sorts of mishaps, so professional furniture restoration specialists should be called in to handle the job properly, especially if the piece of furniture you’re dealing with is particularly tricky. Upholsterers in Lake in the Hills are your saving grace when it comes to refreshing your furniture or soft furnishings. It’s true that when redesigning or redecorating a home, it’s tempting to throw everything out and start again with all-new furniture and decor. But this requires a big budget and a ruthless attitude, which may not necessarily be needed with all redesigns, so instead, consider hiring Lake in the Hills furniture upholsterers to reupholster, repair, restore or redesign some key pieces for you.

You’d be surprised at the magic furniture upholsterers can do to an old piece of soft furnishing; rips can be mended, worn fabric refreshed and extra elements added, at a lower price than buying brand new. You can ask for reupholstery or furniture restoration of the item, to match it as closely as possible to its former glory or ask for something completely different to match your redesign. Trims, piping and fringing can be added for additional flourishes, new fabric patterns chosen, extra padding added, chair backs or headboards buttoned and new sofa or duvet covers stitched.

If you’re not quite sure what to do with your old furniture, try taking it to furniture furniture restoration specialists in Lake in the Hills to ask for their advice. Established upholstery services will be able to handle all sorts of fabric upholstery and reupholstery, including leather upholstery, and recommend the fabric that will work with your furniture and design theme.
