Sofa Breakdown ($$$$)

(the colored pillow is gone)

I have received a few emails from readers asking how much it cost us to get the sofa redone. So here is the breakdown.

1.) Sofa size charge $450
2.) Staining $150 (they didn't charge me)

3.) New Backing $50

4.) New Padding $80

5.) Fabric $ 160 for 18 yards (with 30% discount)

6.) Delivery $50 (they didn't charge me)

They gave me a 10% discount on the total labor.

Sooo.

Fabric $160

Sofa Labor $ 565 (tax included)

Not so bad huh? I paid for the fabric ahead of time to keep my invoice LOW. The rest was paid once it was ready. The good thing is the the cost for the chair is only $250 so I don't plan on another invoice like this again.

Tips:

ASK FOR A DISCOUNT ON FABRIC (they give them all day, and there is to much competition)

ASK FOR A DISCOUNT ON LABOR (10% on up)

FIND OUT IF TUFTING IS CHARGED (they offered it free)

FIND OUT THE PRICE FOR EACH NAIL HEAD (if getting them)

BE SURE TO PICK THE BEST PADDING FOR YOU THERE ARE SEVERAL TO PICK FROM

DON'T RUSH THEM! BUT DO CHECK IN ON THE PROGRESS

CHECK THEIR STAINING SAMPLES

Hope this information helps!
