Furniture repair and reupholstery shops take in customer-owned pieces — sofas, chairs, antiques, dining sets — and perform fabric replacement, frame repair, refinishing, staining, or full restoration. Work is typically performed on-site in a shop environment using solvents, stains, adhesives, and power tools, though some operations may offer pickup and delivery or limited on-site service calls at customer homes or businesses.
