What types of upholstery services do you offer?

We handle a wide variety of upholstery work, including residential furniture reupholstery, automotive upholstery, custom cushions, and repair of worn or damaged fabric or leather.

How do I know if my furniture needs reupholstering or just cleaning?

If your fabric is torn, sagging, or the foam is deteriorated, reupholstery may be necessary. If the issue is stains, odors, or general wear, a professional cleaning might be enough.

What kind of fabrics can you work with?

We work with most upholstery fabrics, including natural fibers (like cotton or linen), synthetics (such as microfiber and polyester), leather, vinyl, and more delicate or high-end materials. We tailor our approach depending on the material.

How long does an upholstery job usually take?

It depends on how extensive the work is: minor repairs or cushions may only take a few hours, while full reupholstery on a large sofa could take several days. For cleaning, drying time typically ranges from 2 to 8 hours, depending on the fabric and humidity.

How often should I have my upholstery professionally cleaned?

For regular use, we recommend cleaning every 12 to 18 months. If you have pets, children, or heavy use, more frequent cleanings can help preserve fabric and improve indoor air quality.

"Dave did an excellent job rebuilding and reupholstering all 11 of our Thomasville, American Country, dining room chairs. He came to the house with fabric samples, which to allowed us to select the correct fabric, wrote the contract, and took all of the chairs to his shop that day. He estimated 2 weeks to repair all of the chairs. He beat his own estimate and returned the chairs to us in 1.5 weeks. He rebuilt the chairs with new webbing, foam, and fabric. The quality of his workmanship is excellent. I will look to Dave for my future reupholstery projects!"
