About Custom Upholstery

Custom Upholstery is located in Saint Paul Park, Minnesota, a small community situated along the St. Croix River corridor southeast of the Twin Cities. Residents here often own older homes with furniture worth preserving, and having a dedicated reupholstery shop in the area means you don't have to haul pieces into Minneapolis or Saint Paul for quality work. The shop's name reflects its approach: work tailored to the specific piece, fabric preference, and customer vision rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery services cover a full range of seating and upholstered pieces, from dining room chairs to sectional sofas to decorative ottomans. The process involves carefully removing existing fabric, inspecting and repairing the underlying structure, refreshing the foam or batting as needed, and then precisely applying new material. Custom work means the customer has real input on the fabric, color, and finish details. Pieces can be updated to match a new interior style or restored as closely as possible to their original look.

Service Area

Custom Upholstery serves Saint Paul Park and the surrounding Washington County communities, including Cottage Grove, Newport, and Grey Cloud Island Township. Customers from the broader St. Croix River Valley area also make the trip for custom upholstery work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you match the original fabric or style of an antique piece?
In many cases, yes. Shops that do custom work can source period-appropriate fabrics or find modern equivalents that closely match an original pattern or texture. Bring photos or fabric samples if you have them to help with the matching process.
What happens if the frame is damaged when the old fabric is removed?
The shop will contact you to describe the damage and discuss repair options before proceeding. Frame repairs add to the cost but are usually necessary to ensure the finished piece is durable and safe to use.
Do you offer pickup and delivery for large furniture pieces?
Some shops do offer pickup and delivery for an additional fee, while others require customers to transport pieces themselves. It's worth asking when you call for a quote, especially for large or heavy items like sectionals or oversized armchairs.
How do I care for newly upholstered furniture?
Most fabrics benefit from regular vacuuming to prevent dust buildup and prompt attention to spills before they set. Your shop will usually recommend specific cleaning products or methods based on the fabric type used.
Can dining chair seats be reupholstered without taking apart the whole chair?
Often yes. Many dining chair seats are drop-in cushions that unscrew from the frame, making them straightforward to reupholster without any disassembly of the chair itself. Your shop can confirm this when they see the chairs.
Is it possible to change the style of a piece, like adding tufting or button details?
Yes, custom upholstery means you can modify the design of a piece, not just replace the fabric. Adding tufting, changing cushion shapes, or updating trim details are all common requests that a skilled upholsterer can accommodate.
