Sectionals, Restored as a System

Whole-system reupholstery of modular sectionals — L-shape, U-shape, chaise, and conversation configurations — finished as one coordinated piece, not a collection of parts.

The Approach

An Overview of the Work

A sectional is the social anchor of a great room. When it fails, the room fails with it. Reupholstery on a sectional is a different discipline from reupholstery on a sofa — pattern alignment, welt continuity, and cushion geometry must read as one piece across six, eight, or twelve sitting positions. That coordination is the difference between a project that looks finished and one that looks assembled.

Sectionals receive the same disciplined sequence as our sofas, with one critical addition — system-wide pattern and welt alignment.

The Process

How We Work

  1. On-site measurement

    Every module is measured in place. Sectionals built before 2010 frequently have inconsistent module widths from the factory; we document those so fabric is cut accurately.

  2. System mapping

    We map fabric repeats across the entire run before cutting — pattern continuity is the most common failure point on factory-finished sectionals.

  3. Foundation work

    Each module is rebuilt to the same spec. If one module has a sagged spring, the whole system feels off.

  4. Cushion calibration

    Cushion cores are cut from the same foam lot to ensure consistent firmness across the run.

  5. Fabric alignment

    Welt continuity, channel alignment, and seam orientation are matched module-to-module.

  6. White-glove delivery

    We re-assemble the sectional in place and adjust connections for level sit.

The Right Material

For sectional projects in lake-house and family environments we typically recommend Crypton or Sunbrella performance fabrics in a natural-fiber-look weave. For formal living rooms, Holland & Sherry mohair or Schumacher linen perform beautifully and patinate well.

Investment

Pricing & Range

Typical Range
$3,500–$9,000+
Pricing scales with module count, configuration complexity, and fabric. Typical 3–4 piece sectionals fall in the lower portion of the range; large U-shape and modular pit configurations sit at the higher end.

All commissions begin with a complimentary in-home estimate and a written scope. No project moves forward without your written approval of the cost and timeline.

Common Questions

Questions & Answers

Can you reupholster a sectional in pieces while we keep the room functional?

Yes — for large sectionals we can stagger module work so part of the seating stays in your home. This adds 1–2 weeks to total project time.

What if module sizes are inconsistent?

Common on factory pieces. We document each module separately during measurement and cut fabric per-module rather than from a single layout.

Can you change the configuration (add a chaise, etc.)?

In many cases yes — particularly with modular systems. We will assess feasibility during the in-home visit.

Do you handle leather sectionals?

Yes. See our leather restoration service.
