OUR STORY

I grew up around my grandparents upholstery shop so I guess you could say upholstery runs in my blood. My grandfather was an automotive and furniture upholsterer and my grandmother was a factory seamstress worker who eventually became a tailor. Her claim to fame was sewing the costumes for the US Figure skating team in the 1972, 1976, 1980 and 1984 Olympics.

As a boy, I helped out in their shop. As I got older I began to take on my own upholstery projects for family, friends and neighbors. I eventually fell into reupholstering seats for heavy equipment, large trucks, and autos.

For the past 30 years I’ve specialized in small aircraft upholstery. Although I’ve always enjoyed working with fine leathers and building high-end interiors, as I’ve gotten older I’ve found climbing around in small airplanes requires a certain amount of flexibility I no longer possess.

My primary focus now is on medical and gym upholstery and I have to say I really enjoy working on-site in such positive environments. There seems to be a big need for this type of upholstery service since fewer and fewer young people are choosing upholstery as a career.

I still use my grandfather's shears and sewing machine that I inherited when he passed. He was a good grandfather and his tools often remind me of my days in his shop.

REASONS TO REUPHOLSTER

Manufacturers constantly seek cost reductions, leading to a decline in the overall quality of their products over time. However, opting for reupholstering can offer a sustainable solution, delivering higher-quality furniture at a comparable or even lower cost than purchasing new items. Here are the advantages:

Enhanced Quality: Reupholstering preserves well-maintained older items, resulting in furniture that often surpasses the quality of new, mass-produced alternatives.

Premium Materials: Our reupholstering services extend beyond replicating the original material, allowing you the flexibility to choose superior fabrics, offering both durability and aesthetic appeal.

Sustainability: Choosing to reupholster is an eco-friendly option. By breathing new life into existing furniture, you contribute to reducing waste and the environmental impact associated with the manufacturing of new items.

Customization Options: Tailor your furniture to suit your style and budget by selecting from a variety of colors and designs, ensuring a personalized touch that aligns perfectly with your preferences.

Cost-Effective: Reusing upholstery items is not only beneficial for the planet but also for your wallet. It often proves to be a more economical choice compared to investing in brand-new furniture.
