CHAIRISH PROCESS
Interested in getting an estimate? Here's how the process works:
Send photos
Send a few photos of your project Click Here to send. Once I've received the photos I will most likely have a few questions such as comfort, age, and condition of the piece. I will then email you an estimate based on the photos. You may also make an appointment to bring your piece to my studio in person if you prefer.
Receive estimate
Since you never truly know what will be needed until you have stripped the piece of its old materials I will estimate pricing based on a basic recover and a full re-upholstery. The difference between them is a recover is only replacing the old fabric and leaving the foundation (ie: springs and cushioning/foam). A full re-upholstery would include replacing the springs, cushioning/foam, and possibly some repairs. This is something we will discuss based on the condition and unique needs of your piece and you can choose what you would like done.
Select fabric
Once you have accepted the quote the next step is selecting the fabric. I have many special order fabric books you can select from in my workroom. I can also point you to a few of my supplier’s websites if you would like to shop that way. You may provide your own fabric, however I will not be able to warranty my work if not ordered through me. I have no way of knowing the quality of fabric not supplied by my trusted sources. If you order through me I will take care of any issues that may come up like flaws, backorders, shortages, etc.
Design details
For some the process of picking fabric is quick and for others, it takes a bit of time. I am happy to help you find your perfect fabric and the details that will make it uniquely yours. Special trim, nailhead, adding buttons, or painting the frame can really update and add character. Sometimes simplicity is best. This is the fun part of custom upholstery.
Schedule details
Once your fabric is ordered we will schedule your project. This is the best way to ensure everything is here and ready at your scheduled time. I am typically scheduled 4-6 weeks out and work in order projects are received. Fabric payment is due in full at the time of order. A 50% deposit will be collected at the time of drop-off. Payment is to be paid in full upon delivery/pick up of your piece.
