They strip existing fabric, assess padding and spring condition, and replace or repair what's needed before applying new material. Customers who care about how the finished piece looks, not just that it's covered, will appreciate the craftsmanship focus.

B G Custom Trim serves McKeesport and the surrounding Mon Valley region, including communities like Duquesne, Clairton, White Oak, and Versailles. The shop is also accessible to customers coming in from the broader Pittsburgh metro via the Monongahela River corridor.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 'custom trim' mean in upholstery work?
Custom trim refers to the decorative and structural finishing details applied to upholstered furniture, such as piping along seams, decorative nail heads, button tufting, or welting. These details give a piece a polished, intentional look rather than a basic recover.
Can you reupholster antique furniture without damaging it?
Yes, experienced upholstery shops know how to work with antique frames carefully, avoiding damage to carved wood or delicate joinery. They'll typically hand-tack fabric rather than use staple guns on valuable older pieces to preserve the frame's integrity.
Is it cheaper to reupholster or buy new furniture?
For well-built furniture, reupholstery is almost always a better financial decision since new furniture at a similar quality level costs significantly more. The exception is inexpensive furniture with particle board frames, which usually isn't worth the upholstery cost.
What types of fabric work best for high-traffic pieces?
Performance fabrics, heavy-duty wovens, and leather or vinyl are the best choices for furniture that gets heavy daily use. These materials resist staining, abrasion, and fading better than standard decorator fabrics, making them a practical choice for family rooms or commercial spaces.
Do you pick up and deliver furniture in the McKeesport area?
Pickup and delivery availability varies by shop, so it's worth asking when you call. Some shops offer it for an additional fee, while others prefer customers transport pieces themselves to keep costs down.
How do I choose the right fabric color and pattern?
Most upholstery shops provide fabric samples you can take home to compare against your room's lighting and existing pieces. It's a good idea to look at samples in the actual space where the furniture will live, since colors shift significantly between showroom and home lighting.
