there are lots of people that just do furniture upholstery. They're probably really expensive in the bay, though.

I'm a firm believer in buying new furniture that looks nice, but at a low cost.  Odds are 5-10 yrs later it will be out of style anyways.  From what I've seen upholstery can cost a lot (mostly labor).  Usually not worth it unless you have a really nice antique-style piece of furniture.

F3, if it's not an antique or something close to you- it's cheaper to donate, deduct from your taxes and buy new.

Martinez in kc mo. They do a good job, but don't go there alone. There is a chance your couch will look nice, but someone will shoot you before you get a chance to see it.
