You should budget at least $300 for the cost of labor and talent, on top of the cost of material, but you can call your re-upholsterer ahead of time to get an idea of their charges. For the average sized couch, you can typically expect to pay around $700. Of course, this will also depend on the type of material that you use (for example, linen will cost much less than silk or velvet) as well as who you go to to have the reupholstering done. A large couch will run you close to $1,000 and a small loveseat will typically be around $450.
Depending on the type of fabric, most professional upholstery cleaners will either steam-clean furniture upholstery or use a dry-cleaning solvent. The cost of cleaning depends on the size of the furniture, the kind of fabric and the condition of the furniture. Typically, the cost to clean an armchair or recliner ranges from $30 to $50, Clumpner says, while most customers will pay $50 to $60 for a love seat. The cost of having a couch cleaned can range from $70 to $80, and a larger sectional sofa can cost between $100 and $150, he adds. Cleaning oversized or overstuffed furniture can cost a bit extra, Clumpner says.
