Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Allen's Customs focuses on furniture reupholstery, which means the shop handles the full process of removing old fabric, assessing the condition of the piece's interior structure, and applying new material with clean, tight seams. This kind of work requires skill in both upholstery technique and fabric knowledge since different materials behave differently when stretched and stapled or sewn. Customers working with Allen's can bring in chairs, sofas, ottomans, or accent pieces and expect work tailored to the specific construction of each item rather than a cookie-cutter approach.

Service Area

Allen's Customs is based in Greenville, SC and serves customers throughout the city and surrounding Upstate South Carolina communities. From downtown Greenville to the suburbs of Mauldin and Five Forks, the shop is accessible to most of Greenville County. Customers from neighboring areas like Simpsonville and Fountain Inn also make the trip for custom upholstery work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do to prepare my furniture before bringing it to an upholstery shop?
Remove any cushions, personal items, or loose pieces before transporting the furniture. You don't need to do any disassembly yourself since the shop handles that as part of the process. Just make sure the piece is clean enough to transport without making a mess in your vehicle.
Can Allen's Customs work on office or commercial furniture in Greenville?
Most upholstery shops that handle residential furniture are equally capable of working on commercial pieces like office chairs, reception seating, or restaurant booth cushions. Commercial jobs often involve more durable fabric grades designed for higher traffic, and experienced shops stock or can source these materials.
How do I get an accurate quote for reupholstery work?
The most accurate quotes come after the shop sees the actual piece, either in person or through clear photos showing all sides and any damage. Giving vague descriptions over the phone often leads to estimates that change once the upholsterer sees the real condition of the frame and padding.
What fabric grades should I consider for a sofa with kids and pets?
Performance fabrics with tight weaves and stain-resistant treatments are your best option for high-use furniture. Look for fabrics rated for high rub counts, which measure how well fabric holds up to friction over time. An upholstery shop can show you samples and explain the tradeoffs between durability and appearance.
Is leather reupholstery different from fabric reupholstery?
Leather work requires different tools and techniques than fabric upholstery. Not all shops handle leather, so it's worth asking specifically when you call. Shops that do leather work can often repair tears, recolor faded sections, or replace worn panels entirely.
How do I find a reliable upholstery shop in Greenville, SC?
Look for shops that have been operating locally for several years and are willing to show you examples of past work. Asking for references or reading reviews from other Greenville customers helps too. A shop that's comfortable walking you through their process before you commit is usually a good sign.
