As time goes by, our beloved furniture will begin to suffer from unavoidable wear and tear like scratches, paint fading, and chipping. Sadly, buying new furniture isn’t recommended, as furniture prices are expected to rise due to new tariffs (Global News).
That’s why it’s a better idea to instead have your old furniture brought back to its original condition. If you have old furniture in need of restoration, get in touch with these amazing furniture restoration shops in Calgary!
| How much does furniture restoration cost? The average cost for furniture restoration in Calgary is $950. Please take note that this is an estimate, and the price may vary depending on the type of restoration, the size of the piece, and the intricacy of the work involved. |

I also love the fact that they can replace your furniture’s style and design and reupholster it to suit various styles like modern, traditional, and contemporary.

However, the only real concern I have about them is that they sometimes take longer to complete restoration jobs.

Customer Reviews
They gave my sofa a brand new life
“We had our sofa and window bench cushions reupholstered here and had a wonderful experience. They gave my sofa a brand new life – fixing the squeaky springs, repairing the bottom that was falling out, and making new firm seat cushions for it. The piping and studs were done very neatly and it looks like a brand new high-end sofa! It was easy to work with them and discuss what I needed and the quality of their workmanship was excellent. They have an huge selection of fabrics. Anytime I have questions or requests, they are so quick to respond and very helpful. They are my go-to for any reupholstery needs.”

I couldn’t ask for better service nor a more lovely finished product
“My 6 chairs were upholstered by the efficient staff at Chinook Upholstery. Laila was very attentive, positive, helpful and friendly every time I required assistance. She accommodated my schedule. I was shown to the back room to look at other upholstered projects which I appreciated. I was advised by an interior designer that the prices are very reasonable at Chinook Drapery. The work was done in a very prompt manner. I couldn’t ask for better service nor a more lovely finished product. The chairs look absolutely beautiful and professional! I intend to come again for my next project – more chairs!”

Amazing work and super friendly
“Amazing work and super friendly. Needed a blemish on a new leather couch repaired. Jakub came out to my place, assessed the area, quickly color matched the dye and got it fixed. You’d never know there was a blemish in the first place and he did all of this in roughly 15 minutes. Very happy with the results and would recommend to friends and family”

He did an amazing job and our couch felt like new again!
“Jakub came and added some stuffing to our couch. We had the couch for about 6-7 years and the “favorite” spots started to get really worn in. He did an amazing job and our couch felt like new again! We also recently bought 2 floor model couch from Leon’s and he gave us some really good advice for how to clean them. Highly recommend him for your upholstery needs.”

The table looks better than new and the chairs are all rock solid
“John did a fantastic job on our 80 year old dining room table and chairs, the table had been through a couple of generations of families with kids, ink stains, an amateur refinishing job in the sixties. All the chairs felt as though they were going to fall apart when you sat on them. John completed the work ahead of time to meet our schedule, the table looks better than new and the chairs are all rock solid. Highly recommended.”
-Morgan D, Google Reviews
They do what they say, excellent value for the money.
“I’ve had to have repairs to furniture three times in the last four years, and Finishing Traditions have done an excellent job. They give me fair quotes – usually with a range of options using restoration, functionality and cost parameters. Each time I’ve been very pleased with the results. They do what they say, excellent value for the money. No inhibitions to recommend to others. Nice guy too.”
