Quoting upholstery work at a fixed price
An upholstery quote should give the yardage needed for the chosen fabric width and repeat, labor per piece, foam and filling options and an allowance for frame or spring repairs found after stripping.
The quote turns 1.5 hours of labour into a fixed $1,350.00; if the job runs over, the upholstery shop absorbs the extra time, so quote hours you are confident about.
The biggest single commitment is "Reupholster three-cushion sofa" at $950.00 (38% of the price): name the exact model, grade or deliverable so there is no argument about what was promised.

The acceptance block
A quote becomes an agreement when the customer accepts it; leave room at the bottom of quote QUO-2718 for:
- The accepted price, $2,505.00, and the quote number
- Customer name (Casey Nguyen in the sample), signature and date
- The deposit due on signing, $1,252.50, and how to pay it
- The last day the price holds (30 days after issue in this sample)
Upholsterer pricing tips
- Show fabric yardage apart from labor and note when a pattern repeat or stripe matching added yards, because customers estimate yardage from the sofa's size and expect the plain-fabric figure.
- When the customer supplies the fabric (customer's own material), say so on the invoice and add that flaws in fabric you did not supply fall outside your workmanship guarantee.
- Carry hidden frame and spring work as an allowance on the quote and invoice the actual hours once the piece is stripped, since broken rails and loose springs only show after the old cover comes off.
- List the foam type and density for every cushion, which is the first thing a customer asks about when the new seat feels firmer than the old one.

Frequently asked questions
How do I write an upholsterer quote?
List exactly what is included (9 lines for reupholster a three-cushion sofa and two dining chair seats in a customer-chosen woven fabric in the sample), give one fixed price ($2,505.00), the validity period and payment terms, and add a signature block for acceptance.
Is a upholsterer quote binding once accepted?
Generally yes: an accepted quote is a fixed-price offer for the scope it describes, so extra work needs a new quote or a signed variation. Local contract law decides the details.
Should a upholsterer quote ask for a deposit?
A deposit covering the fabric is standard, because yardage cut from the bolt for one sofa cannot be sent back.
