Cost Of Reupholstering Church Pews vs. Buying New

You only get one chance to make a first impression- particularly true when someone walks into your house of worship. You want them to feel welcome, cared for, and understand that your church is a place to give glory to God. As guests look around to get a sense of how your church family worships, you want them to see you give God your first and best.

Periodically, that means elements of your house of worship will require some maintenance and refreshing, and Kivetts Fine Church Furniture works beautifully with churches to reupholster and refurbish church pews and seating, as well as other elements of your sanctuary.   

Reupholstery vs. New Pews Cost Savings

When doing the cost comparison between reupholstering your seating and replacing it, the good news is that Kivetts can reupholster your pews for about a third of the cost of replacing them- a significant savings, and a responsible way to honor the tithes entrusted to your organization.   

Reupholstering can bring new life to old pews and protect your initial investment. Our highly skilled technicians handle everything from removal, repair, refinishing, restoration and reupholstering to delivery and reinstallation. Our widely respected refurbishing division is the largest of its kind on the East Coast- delivering service you can trust in a timely efficient manner and providing an economical alternative to all-new seating.  

With frequent and repeated use, even durable upholstery can start to show signs of wear and tear. Simply reach out to Kivetts, and we’ll come to your facility and evaluate the best way to move forward as you look to refurbish your church seating. In addition, our reupholstery team typically performs all work on-site, at times convenient to you so your church schedule won’t be disrupted.

Our reupholstery experts will repair your furniture to look brand new, using stain resistant / high UV fabrics, which are available in a range of colors and patterns. The options are attractive, durable, and designed for comfort, and we’ll work with you to match your new upholstery to your church’s aesthetic.

Since 1958, Kivetts Fine Church Furniture has provided quality, durable seating for thousands of churches, in all sizes and styles of sanctuaries. Our custom manufacturing facility in Clinton, NC can produce pews and other seating, showcasing our skilled craftsmanship and commitment to quality.

In addition to upholster and reupholster services, Kivetts refinishes and restores worship facility seating, as well as custom crafting new pews, chairs, screens, rails, chancel sets and steeples. 

We use solid Northern Appalachian Red Oak hardwood for every aspect of our pews:  seats, ends, bases, backs and rails. The strength and durability of oak combined with its attractive wood grain means you end up with seating that will last for generations. We even offer free stain and shade sampling, so you’ll be able to test different colors and shades before you make a final decision on your new or refurbished pews.
