Services & Process

AW Hoss and Son handles full furniture reupholstery, which means stripping old fabric down to the frame, repairing springs and padding, and applying new material throughout. Their antique focus means they're experienced with older joinery and period-appropriate fabrics that won't look out of place on a Victorian settee or mid-century chair. They also operate as a furniture store, so customers can browse finished pieces alongside getting their own items worked on. Fabric selection is part of the process, with guidance on durability and aesthetic fit.

Service Area

AW Hoss and Son serves customers throughout Seattle and the surrounding King County area. Clients from neighborhoods like Fremont, Ballard, and the University District regularly bring pieces in. They're a practical choice for anyone in the greater Seattle metro looking for upholstery work paired with antique knowledge.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can AW Hoss and Son work on antique furniture without damaging its value?
Yes, their antique background means they understand which materials and techniques are appropriate for older pieces. They'll use period-correct fabrics and methods when preservation is the goal, rather than just defaulting to modern materials.
Do they sell furniture in addition to doing reupholstery?
They do operate as a furniture store, so you can purchase finished pieces directly. This is useful if you want to see examples of their work before committing a family heirloom to their care.
How long does a typical reupholstery job take in Seattle?
Most standard pieces take one to three weeks depending on complexity and current workload. Antique pieces with structural repairs can take longer since the frame work comes before any fabric is applied.
What fabrics work best for Seattle's damp climate?
Performance fabrics with moisture resistance are a smart choice for the Pacific Northwest, especially for pieces near windows or in sunrooms. The shop can guide you toward options that hold up against humidity without sacrificing appearance.
Is it worth reupholstering an old piece instead of buying new furniture?
For well-built frames, especially antiques or mid-century pieces, reupholstery almost always makes more sense financially and quality-wise. A solid hardwood frame will outlast most new furniture even after paying for professional reupholstery.
Do they offer pickup and delivery for large furniture items?
It's worth calling ahead to ask about their current logistics options, since policies can change. Many Seattle upholstery shops accommodate large pieces with scheduled pickups, particularly for customers who can't transport sofas or armchairs on their own.
