Bill Newcomb Custom Upholstering has been serving Murfreesboro, Tennessee with focused, single-trade expertise in furniture reupholstery. Murfreesboro is one of the fastest-growing cities in the state, and with that growth comes a mix of longtime residents with heirloom furniture and new homeowners looking to personalize their spaces affordably.

The name itself signals that this is a hands-on, craftsman-led operation.

Services & Process

Custom upholstery work covers the full process of removing old fabric, assessing and replacing foam and batting, and applying new material with professional-grade finishing. Fabric selection is a key part of the service, with clients typically choosing from a range of textile options including wovens, velvets, performance fabrics, and leather or faux leather. Custom work means the shop can accommodate unusual shapes, non-standard dimensions, and specific design requests that off-the-shelf solutions can't address. Dining chairs, sofas, ottomans, headboards, and accent chairs are all common projects for this type of specialist.

Service Area

Bill Newcomb Custom Upholstering serves Murfreesboro and the surrounding Rutherford County area, including Smyrna, La Vergne, and Lavergne. Clients from nearby Brentwood and Franklin also make the trip when they want genuinely custom work rather than standard turnaround upholstery.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of furniture does a custom upholstery shop work on?
Most pieces with a padded surface and a frame are fair game, including sofas, armchairs, dining chairs, benches, headboards, and ottomans. If a piece has sentimental or monetary value, it's almost always worth a consultation before deciding whether to restore or replace.
Can I bring my own fabric to the shop?
Many upholstery shops will work with customer-supplied fabric, though you'll want to confirm yardage requirements and fabric suitability first. Some fabrics aren't well-suited to upholstery due to their weight or weave, so it's worth a conversation before purchasing.
How do I know how much fabric I'll need for my sofa?
The shop will typically calculate the yardage for you once they see the piece, since this depends on the size, style, and any pattern matching requirements. As a rough guide, a standard three-seat sofa usually needs between 12 and 18 yards of fabric.
Is custom upholstery in Murfreesboro more expensive than buying new furniture?
For quality solid-frame furniture, reupholstering is often more cost-effective than buying a comparable new piece, especially given current furniture prices. The real advantage is that you control the fabric, the finish, and the outcome rather than choosing from what's in stock.
How long will a reupholstered piece last?
With quality materials and proper construction, a reupholstered piece can easily last 10 to 20 years before needing attention again. Choosing a durable, tightly woven fabric for high-use pieces makes a significant difference in longevity.
Do I need to remove the legs or hardware before dropping off my furniture?
Usually the shop prefers to handle disassembly themselves so nothing gets damaged in transit. Just bring the piece as-is and let them guide you on what preparation, if any, is needed.
