Are you insured?
Yes. We carry insurance for delivery and project liability, and a Certificate of Insurance (COI) is available on request.
How do I know if my furniture is worth reupholstering?
Look for a heavy, solid hardwood frame, tight joints and coil or hand-tied springs. Lightweight particleboard frames usually aren't worth it. Send photos and we'll tell you honestly.
What is COM fabric?
COM means Customer's Own Material, which is fabric you buy and supply yourself. We tell you exactly how many yards to order, and you receive a credit on your price.
What is the best fabric if I have pets?
Tightly woven performance fabrics, microfiber and leather resist claws and hair best. Avoid loose weaves, linen and velvet if you have cats.
Do you upholster boats, cars and aircraft?
Yes. We upholster boat seats and cushions, car seats and headliners, and aircraft seats using appropriate marine, automotive and aviation materials.
