Oud Metha has a bit of everything — older apartment blocks that have been there since before American Hospital expanded into the landmark it is now, a handful of villas, and newer buildings filling the gaps between. What that means for us is a lot of variety in the furniture we’re asked to work on: some pieces genuinely decades old, some barely a year into use.

Age isn’t really the deciding factor in whether something’s worth reupholstering — the condition of the frame is. We’ve rebuilt sofas older than the people sitting on them, because the wood and springs underneath were still completely sound. The fabric is what gives out first, almost always, regardless of how old the piece actually is.

A good number of Oud Metha’s apartments sit in buildings without central climate control running constantly, which means more temperature swings between rooms and seasons than you’d get in a newer tower. That kind of environment is a little harder on certain fabrics — velvet in particular can show wear faster with fluctuating humidity. We’ll flag this during the consultation if it’s relevant to your apartment and suggest alternatives where it makes sense.

What We Cover

Sofas

of every configuration — sectional, classic, Chesterfield — in velvet, linen, chenille, or leather.

Dining and accent chairs

rebuilt to match whatever's changed in your dining room since they were bought.

Beds

headboards and frames, custom or standard.

Smaller repairs

cushion refilling, loose covers, leather conditioning.

Balcony and small-garden furniture, since a fair number of Oud Metha properties have outdoor seating tucked into a terrace or courtyard.

We’re happy to take on multiple pieces from the same home in one visit if there’s more than one thing that needs attention.

Why Rebuild Instead of Replace

A sound wooden frame typically outlasts several fabric jobs. If your sofa still feels solid when you sit down, no creaking, no wobble, the frame is almost certainly fine, and reupholstering is the more sensible route both financially and in terms of hassle saved.

Because Oud Metha’s housing stock spans decades, it’s common for a single home to have furniture bought at very different points — an older dining set inherited or bought early on, alongside a newer sofa picked up more recently. We treat each piece on its own terms rather than assuming a uniform approach works across the whole house. An older piece might need more structural attention alongside the fabric change, while a newer one might just need the cover swapped. Either way, the assessment comes first, and the price reflects what we actually find.

Our Process

We start with a conversation about what’s wrong and what you want it to look like. Then someone from our team examines the piece in person and brings fabric samples. The rebuild covers structural work first, then the new fabric goes on. We deliver it back and set it up properly. We know a lot of Oud Metha households are juggling school runs and hospital appointments, so we agree on pickup and delivery windows upfront rather than leaving them vague.

We know trust matters more than anything when you’re inviting someone into your home to assess and remove furniture. The number we quote after seeing the piece is the number that holds, barring something genuinely unexpected turning up once we open the frame. If that happens, we check with you first rather than proceeding without your knowledge. It’s a small thing, but it’s usually the difference between a one-off job and someone who calls us again the next time something needs fixing.

Whether the piece came from a well-known furniture shop or was custom-built years ago, the same principle applies: if the frame holds up, the fabric is the part worth replacing. Older sofas especially sometimes have proportions or joinery you don’t see in furniture sold today, but that’s not a problem for us — our craftsmen build around what’s actually in front of them rather than working from a standard template.

Frequently Asked Questions

My sofa is quite old — is it even worth reupholstering?

Very often, yes. Age isn’t the issue; frame condition is. If it still feels sturdy, it’s usually a good candidate.

What will it cost me?

We can’t give a number without seeing the piece. Size, fabric choice, and condition all factor in, and we’ll quote you directly.

How long will the work take?

Typically 3 to 7 days from pickup to return.

Do you handle both apartments and villas in Oud Metha?

Yes, we work across both. The approach just adjusts based on access and the size of the home.

Can you repair a sofa that's already been recovered once before?

Yes, we can strip back old upholstery layers, check what’s underneath, and rebuild properly from there.
