Please review our yardage chart. Remember to add an additional 2 yards if you are choosing a repeating pattern or stripes.  Depending on the amount of excess material, pillows can be made to match.

What is an Estimate?

A valuing or rating by the mind, without actually measuring, weighing, or the like. It is a  rough or approximate calculation.  There is a $125 on-site estimate fee which we gladly refund or apply towards the job if we go through with the work discussed.

Can you give me an estimate over the phone?

No, while you may do your best to describe what is needed, it is important to see the piece first hand to give the best estimate.  You may email photos so we can attempt to assess the situation more accurately to info@millerrestorations.com

You may also come by the shop or schedule an onsite estimate.

Will you store my piece for me while I move?

Yes, we can store your piece for you if necessary if pre-arranged.  I often tune up furniture during new home transitions.   I charge $5/day storage starting 30 days after notification that the work has been completed. See our terms and conditions for additional information.
