Services

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Custom furniture reupholstery here goes beyond simple recovering, it includes rebuilding cushion profiles, updating button tufting, adding or removing decorative elements, and selecting fabrics that match a room's specific color story. Chairs, sofas, loveseats, window seats, and benches all fall within scope. Leather work is a natural complement to fabric reupholstery, addressing scuffs, tears, and fading on leather pieces through careful cleaning, patching, and conditioning. Interior designers working in Seattle's Capitol Hill, Queen Anne, and Ballard neighborhoods regularly turn to skilled custom upholsterers when sourcing or refreshing statement pieces.

Service Area

Castillo's Custom Upholstery is based in Seattle and serves customers across the city's neighborhoods, from Fremont and Ballard in the north to Columbia City and Rainier Beach in the south. West Seattle, Capitol Hill, and the Central District are all within easy reach. Customers from nearby communities like Shoreline, Lake Forest Park, and Mercer Island also make use of the shop's services.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between standard reupholstery and custom upholstery work?
Standard reupholstery replaces the existing fabric and padding while keeping the original design intact. Custom work goes further, changing tufting patterns, cushion shapes, trim details, or structural elements to achieve a specific look or improve comfort.
Can I see fabric samples before committing to a project?
Most upholstery shops have sample books from multiple suppliers, and many can order memo samples for you to take home. Seeing fabric in your actual lighting and against your existing decor makes a big difference in the final decision.
How does Seattle's climate affect fabric choices for upholstery?
Seattle's damp climate means mold-resistant and moisture-wicking fabrics are worth considering, especially for furniture in rooms with less airflow. Performance fabrics that resist moisture and are easy to clean tend to hold up especially well in the Pacific Northwest.
Do upholstery shops work with interior designers on client projects?
Yes, many custom upholstery shops in Seattle regularly collaborate with designers, handling the execution of a designer's fabric and construction specs. It helps to connect your designer directly with the shop early so everyone is aligned on materials and timeline.
Can you match existing fabric if I only need part of a piece redone?
Matching an existing fabric exactly is difficult unless the original material is still in production, but a skilled upholsterer can find a very close match in color and texture. For a cohesive look, doing the entire visible surface at once is usually recommended.
What should I do to prepare my furniture before dropping it off?
Clear out any items stored inside ottoman lids or under cushions, and remove any personal items from seat crevices. You don't need to do any disassembly yourself as the upholsterer will handle that as part of the job.
