Sofa Repair Service in Montreal
Sagging cushions, broken frames, torn fabric, squeaky springs — most sofa problems are fixable without full reupholstery. Honest assessment, written estimates, fast turnaround.
Most sofa problems are fixable — without a full reupholstery
A sagging cushion doesn't mean the sofa is dead. A broken spring doesn't mean replacement. A torn fabric panel doesn't mean reupholstering the entire piece. At Atlas Upholstering, we specialize in targeted sofa repair — fixing the specific problem at a fraction of the cost of full reupholstery, when full reupholstery isn't yet needed. Honesty matters: if the cheaper fix is the right answer, we'll tell you. Every repair is priced based on the scope, materials, and complexity — we provide a written quote with no obligation.
Most sofas we repair fall into a few common categories: cushion foam that's compressed and needs replacement; springs that have failed or popped through the webbing; frame joints that have loosened and squeak; tears in the fabric at high-stress points (seams, arm fronts); and mechanism failures on recliners and sleeper sofas. Each of these has a targeted solution that doesn't require redoing the entire piece.
Why repair instead of reupholster (or replace)
Targeted savings
A targeted repair — replacing one bad cushion's foam, retying a couple of failed springs, patching a torn seam — costs a fraction of full reupholstery. If only one part of the sofa is failing, you save by fixing only that part. If multiple systems are failing, full reupholstery may make more sense — we'll tell you which during the free assessment, with a written quote either way.
Preserves what's working
If your sofa still has fabric you like, frame condition that's solid, and only a localized issue (one cushion sagging, one spring popped), repair preserves everything that's still working. Full reupholstery means redoing what doesn't need redoing.
Faster turnaround
Most repair jobs take 1–2 weeks; full reupholstery takes 3–5 weeks. If you need your sofa back quickly — especially before a hosting event or family visit — repair is significantly faster.
How sofa repair works at Atlas
1. Honest in-person assessment
We come to your home anywhere in Greater Montreal. We diagnose the specific problem — cushion compression, spring failure, frame joint, fabric tear, mechanism issue — and tell you whether targeted repair or full reupholstery is the right call. You get a written estimate either way, with no obligation.
2. Targeted fix at our studio (or in some cases on-site)
Most repairs require bringing the sofa to our Cavendish studio for proper access. For minor fixes — a quick seam restitch, minor frame tightening — we can sometimes do it on-site. Either way, the targeted repair lets us focus only on what's failing.
3. Quick return
Most repairs complete in 1–2 weeks. We deliver back at no extra cost within Greater Montreal. You get back the sofa you love, fixed, without the cost or timeline of full reupholstery.
FAQ
-
Cushion repair pricing depends on cushion size, foam type chosen, and whether the cover itself needs replacement. Full cushion foam replacement is one of the most common and most cost-effective sofa repairs. We provide free written estimates — send us photos and we'll quote the repair within 24 hours.
-
Most sofa frame breaks are repairable. Loose joints, broken slats, wobbly legs, and squeaks usually trace back to specific failure points that can be tightened, re-glued, or replaced. We see broken hardwood frames every week and most are fixable. Pricing depends on the extent of the break and accessibility — free written estimates after an in-home or studio assessment.
-
Yes — we re-tie failed springs, replace broken ones, and restore 8-way hand-tied configurations to original specifications. Pricing depends on how many springs need work and whether the burlap and webbing under the cushions also need replacement. Free written estimates after assessing the piece.
-
Sometimes yes — small tears or worn spots on hidden areas can often be patched or repaired without recovering the whole sofa. We assess the location, the fabric type (some are easier to match than others), and how visible the repair will be. If the fabric is widely worn across the visible surface, reupholstery is usually the better answer.
-
We inspect and can repair many recliner and sleeper sofa mechanisms — particularly tension cables, broken springs in the lift mechanism, and worn glides. For proprietary motorized lift mechanisms, we'll diagnose but refer out to the original manufacturer when their parts are required.
