About Custom Upholstery by Salomon

Custom Upholstery by Salomon is based in West Miami, Florida, a tight-knit residential city bordered by Coral Gables and Westchester that's close to both major highways and Miami's urban core. What makes this shop stand out is the range of services it covers: furniture reupholstery, auto upholstery, and furniture repair all under one roof. That combination is less common than you'd think, and it means clients don't need to drive across town to find someone for a car interior restoration separately from a home furniture project. West Miami's central location makes it convenient for clients from all surrounding neighborhoods.

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery at Custom Upholstery by Salomon covers sofas, chairs, dining sets, and custom pieces, with full fabric replacement and padding restoration from frame up. Auto upholstery is a separate specialty that includes recovering car seats, door panels, headliners, convertible tops, and custom interiors for classic cars or daily drivers. Furniture repair handles structural issues like broken frames, loose joints, cracked wood, and damaged hardware, making it a good first step before deciding whether to reupholster. Together, these three service areas mean the shop can handle jobs that most single-specialty shops would turn away.

The shop's central location puts it within easy reach of Coral Gables, Westchester, Sweetwater, Kendall, and Miami proper. Both residential and commercial clients, as well as car owners from across the metro area, make the trip for the shop's range of services.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does auto upholstery work typically include?
Auto upholstery covers anything fabric or leather-related inside a vehicle. That includes recovering seat cushions and backs, replacing door panel fabric, installing new headliners, working on convertible tops, and building custom interiors from scratch for restorations or custom builds. A skilled auto upholsterer can match OEM materials or create something completely custom depending on your goals.
Can I get my classic car interior restored to original specs?
Yes, classic car interior restoration is a specialty that requires matching original materials, stitching patterns, and colors as closely as possible. A good auto upholstery shop researches the original specs for your vehicle's year and model and sources period-appropriate materials when they're available. It's detailed, time-consuming work, but the result on a well-restored car is stunning.
What's the difference between furniture repair and reupholstery?
Furniture repair deals with structural and mechanical issues, things like broken frames, loose legs, damaged joints, or hardware problems. Reupholstery is about replacing the fabric and padding surfaces. Many projects involve both, since it makes sense to fix any frame issues before putting new fabric on a piece. Shops that handle both can take care of the whole job without you needing to go elsewhere.
How long does auto upholstery work take?
Simple jobs like recovering a single seat or replacing a headliner might take one to three days. A full interior restoration or custom build can take one to several weeks depending on the complexity and the materials being sourced. Classic car restoration projects often take longer because of the research and sourcing involved in getting the details right.
Can upholstery shops in West Miami handle marine or boat upholstery?
Shops with auto upholstery experience often have the skills to handle marine upholstery as well, since both require working with materials that can stand up to sun, moisture, and heavy use. Marine-grade vinyl and Sunbrella fabric are common choices for boat seating. It's worth asking directly since not every auto upholstery shop takes on marine work.
How do I keep reupholstered furniture looking good in Florida's climate?
Keep upholstered furniture out of direct sunlight when possible, since UV exposure fades fabric and dries out leather over time. Use window treatments or UV-blocking film on windows that let in strong afternoon sun. For fabric furniture, regular vacuuming and prompt spot cleaning prevent stains from setting, and for leather, annual conditioning keeps the material supple in Florida's warm, sometimes humid conditions.
