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.
Total Cost. The total cost of reupholstering a couch includes fabric, supplies and labor. It varies depending on the size and style of the couch as well as the price of the fabric, which can range from about $11 to $40 per yard. Labor averages between $700 and $1,200, for a total cost of $1,200 for a small two-cushion sofa, up to $3,000 or more for a large sofa. The cost can rise if you decide to replace the stuffing in cushions, especially if you choose a pricey option like down feathers.
