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.
1 According to ReedUpholstery.com, the cost of reupholstery of a couch varies greatly based on the size and design, but on the average, cost ranges from $600 for an open-arm couch of about 70â³ to 85â³ in size and can go up to $990 for a closed-arm couch of the same size. The material is another important basis for computation of cost. 2  The material is usually computed by yard. 3  A couch on average uses from 18 to 22 yards of fabric. 4  Some fabrics cost as low as $15 per yard to as high as $180 for fabrics made of silk and wools.
