At First Class MasterCraft, we specialize in master‑level reupholstery for sofas, chairs, dining seating, ottomans, antiques, and designer furniture across Fort Lee, NYC, and the surrounding counties.
Whether your piece is worn, outdated, sagging, or simply ready for a fresh design, our workshop delivers restoration that respects the original craftsmanship while elevating the final result.

Why Reupholster Instead of Replace?
Reupholstery is often the smarter choice when:
- The frame is solid wood
- The piece has sentimental value
- The design is timeless or high‑quality
- You want a custom look
- You want better materials than mass‑produced furniture
- You want to reduce waste and choose a sustainable option
Most modern furniture cannot match the quality of older frames — reupholstery preserves that craftsmanship.

Reupholstery FAQ
What is included in a full reupholstery service?
Every project includes removal of old fabric, padding, and worn materials.
We inspect and repair the frame, replace springs/webbing, and rebuild cushions as needed.
The piece is then upholstered with premium fabrics or leather using precision stitching and detailing.
How do I know if my furniture is worth reupholstering?
High‑quality, solid‑wood frames are almost always worth restoring.
Designer, heirloom, and well‑built older pieces typically outperform new furniture in durability.
If your piece is low‑quality or mass‑produced, we’ll be honest if replacement makes more sense.
How long does reupholstery take?
Most reupholstery projects take 2–6 weeks depending on complexity and fabric availability.
Antiques or pieces needing structural repair may require additional time.
We’ll give you a clear timeline once we evaluate your piece and confirm materials.
Can you rebuild cushions or change the comfort level?
Yes — we offer foam, down, feather, and hybrid cushion options.
You can choose soft, medium, firm, or a custom comfort profile.
New cushions dramatically improve comfort and extend the life of your furniture.
Can I change the style of my furniture during reupholstery?
Yes — we can update arm styles, back heights, skirt designs, and decorative details.
Tufting, channeling, piping, and nailheads can be added or removed.
Reupholstery is the perfect time to modernize or customize your piece.
Do you offer fabric guidance or help choosing materials?
We offer a curated library of designer and performance fabrics.
We help you choose materials based on durability, texture, color, and lifestyle needs.
We also work with COM (Customer’s Own Material) if it is upholstery‑grade.
Do you reupholster recliners or mechanical chairs?
Yes — recliners are evaluated case by case depending on the condition of the mechanism.
We can replace padding, rebuild cushions, and update the fabric or leather.
If the mechanism is failing, we’ll advise whether repair or replacement is the better option.
Do you offer pickup and delivery for reupholstery projects?
Yes — we provide white glove pickup and delivery across Fort Lee, NYC, Bergen, Rockland, Westchester, and Fairfield County.
All pieces are wrapped, protected, and handled with care during transport.
We place the finished piece exactly where you want it in your home.
