People often ask what actually happens to their sofa once we pick it up. Here's a step-by-step walkthrough of a typical reupholstery project at the Extra Touch studio.
Day 1 — arrival and documentation
Your sofa arrives at our shop on Taylor Street. Before we touch anything, we photograph it from every angle.
Day 2 — strip-down
We carefully remove the old fabric layer by layer.
Days 3–4 — frame and spring restoration
Frame issues get addressed first. Loose joints are re-glued and clamped overnight.
Days 5–6 — foundation
New burlap goes over the springs. Fresh layers of cotton, foam, or polyfill build up the seat foundation.
Days 7-10 — cutting and upholstery
Fabric is cut, laid out, and hand-tailored to fit.
Day 11 — final inspection
Bruce or Peter personally walks every visible inch.
Day 12 — delivery
The completed sofa is wrapped for delivery and brought back to your home.
Every piece that leaves this shop has both Bruce's and my personal sign-off.
