Though the cost to reupholster a couch varies, quality sofa upholstery could cost 50-60% less than replacement when all things are considered. Before calling upholsterers for quotes, measure your sofa and research fabrics. While pricier upfront, replacement sofas start cheaper but don't last as long.

The process involves removing and replacing the fabric, decorative trim, and stuffing. It is a great way to add personal style to a room while being less expensive than buying a new chair. The national average cost to reupholster a chair is between $300 and $1,000.

Vacuum: Start by vacuuming the upholstery to remove any loose dirt or debris. Spot Clean: Use a mixture of mild detergent and water to gently dab at the stains. Test on a small, hidden area first to ensure it doesn't damage the fabric. Rinse: After treating the stains, rinse the area with a clean, damp cloth.
