About Alex Upholstery

Alex Upholstery is based in Myerstown, a small Lebanon County community roughly midway between Harrisburg and Reading in Pennsylvania's rural heartland. The shop holds a perfect 5.0 rating and specializes in both auto and furniture upholstery. Myerstown's mix of farming families, antique enthusiasts, and working-class residents creates real demand for reliable local upholstery work. Having a skilled shop this close means residents don't need to drive to a larger city for quality repairs.

Services

Auto Upholstery
Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Auto upholstery work covers seat replacement and repair, door panel refacing, carpet replacement, and custom interior work for trucks, cars, and SUVs. Furniture reupholstery includes stripping old material, assessing and replacing foam or batting as needed, and applying new fabric to chairs, sofas, ottomans, and dining pieces. The shop works with a range of fabrics to suit different budgets and styles. Both services start with a direct assessment of the item's condition and an honest recommendation.

Service Area

Alex Upholstery serves Myerstown and the surrounding Lebanon County area, including customers from Palmyra, Lebanon, and Richland. The shop also draws customers from the eastern edges of Dauphin County and parts of Berks County looking for personal, local service. Being centrally located in the region makes it a practical option for a wide stretch of rural Central PA.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you reupholster just one car seat instead of all of them?
Yes, single seat repairs are possible, though matching the original material exactly can be a challenge if the other seats are worn or faded. The shop can advise you on whether a single repair will blend well or whether doing a full set makes more visual sense.
Do you restore antique furniture pieces?
Furniture reupholstery work can include older and antique pieces, which often require careful handling to preserve existing woodwork and decorative details. It's worth describing the piece in detail before bringing it in so the shop can confirm it's a good fit for their process.
How do I know which fabric is right for my needs?
The right fabric depends on how much use the piece gets, whether kids or pets are involved, and what look you're going for. The shop can walk you through durability ratings and cleaning requirements for different materials so you make a choice you won't regret.
What's included in an auto upholstery job?
It depends on the scope, but typical auto work includes removing the seat or panel, replacing the foam or padding if it's deteriorated, and applying new fabric or leather with proper stitching and tensioning. The shop will specify exactly what's covered when they give you a quote.
Is there a difference between upholstery-grade and regular fabric?
Yes, upholstery fabric is woven tighter and rated for repeated friction and weight, while decorative or curtain fabric breaks down much faster under the same conditions. Using the right grade material makes the difference between a job that lasts years and one that wears out quickly.
Do you serve customers outside of Myerstown?
The shop draws customers from across Lebanon County and neighboring areas in Berks and Dauphin counties. Calling ahead at (717) 383-6917 to confirm availability is always a good idea before making the drive.
