Providers price differently: Angi reports $10 to $15 per linear foot or per cushion for large sofas and built-ins (custom work at $15 to $25 per linear foot), while Yelp notes most companies charge a minimum service fee of $60 to $100 because jobs are house calls.1,3 Confirm the pricing structure when you get a quote.1
