The Austin Reuse Directory lists local repair shops. The City of Austin also runs free Fix-It Clinics. Volunteers can help you look at an item, but they may not be able to fix it.

What to ask before you book

1. Can you repair this type of furniture?
2. Can I send photos to get a first estimate?
3. Does the price include parts, fabric, and labor?
4. Do I bring the item to you, or can you pick it up?
5. How long will the repair take?

Reupholstery means removing old fabric and putting on new fabric. Ask how much fabric you need and what it will cost. For wood repairs, ask if the shop will fix the frame, joints, or finish. A low price for one repair may not cover the full job.

If fixing the item costs too much, look for a replacement in our Austin furniture store guide. For older pieces, see our vintage furniture guide.
