About Customer's Own Fabric Upholsters

Customer's Own Fabric Upholsters in Chandler, Arizona has earned a perfect 5.0 rating across 12 reviews, which is a strong track record for any specialty trade shop. The business model here is built around customers who already have a fabric they love and just need skilled hands to put it to work. Chandler's rapidly growing residential population, many of whom are interior design-savvy homeowners, makes this a smart niche. Rather than being pushed toward whatever a shop has in stock, you bring what you want and they execute it.

Services & Process

The shop's core service is furniture reupholstery using customer-supplied fabric, meaning you source the material and they handle all the skilled work. This covers measuring and cutting the fabric, stripping old upholstery, replacing worn foam or padding, and applying the new covering with professional-quality stitching and finishing. Furniture repair services round out the offering, addressing structural issues like broken frames, sagging springs, or deteriorated webbing before the new fabric goes on. Getting the structure right before the upholstery is applied is what separates a lasting job from one that fails in a year.

Service Area

Customer's Own Fabric Upholsters is based in Chandler and serves the South East Valley, including Gilbert, Mesa, Tempe, and Queen Creek. Chandler's central position in the East Valley makes it a convenient stop for customers coming from communities along the 202 and US-60 corridors. Some customers travel from as far as Scottsdale or Ahwatukee for the shop's unique model.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much fabric do I need to bring for my sofa?
Yardage depends heavily on the size of the sofa, the pattern repeat of the fabric, and whether cushions are included. A standard three-cushion sofa typically requires 12 to 18 yards, but the shop can give you an exact measurement once they see the piece. Always buy a little extra to account for mistakes or pattern matching.
Where do customers usually buy fabric before bringing it to the shop?
Options include fabric retailers, online fabric stores, wholesale suppliers, and sometimes leftover yardage from interior design projects. If you have a favorite fabric source or found something unique while traveling, this model works well since you're not limited to what a shop stocks.
What happens if I don't bring enough fabric?
The shop will typically catch this before starting work, which is why a consultation upfront matters. If you run short, you'll need to source more of the same material, which can be difficult if it was a limited run or discontinued fabric. Overbuy by at least half a yard to be safe.
Does the shop also fix broken frames or sagging cushions before reupholstering?
Yes, furniture repair is part of what they offer alongside reupholstery. It makes sense to address structural problems at the same time since the piece is already being taken apart. Ask for a full assessment when you drop off so you know what the complete job involves.
Can I use upholstery fabric I bought online for this service?
Absolutely. As long as the fabric is appropriate for upholstery use, meaning it has adequate durability and weight, the shop can work with it. Avoid apparel or curtain fabric for seating since it won't hold up to regular use the way upholstery-grade material will.
Is reupholstering with my own fabric cheaper than a full-service shop?
It can be, especially if you find fabric at a good price or have leftover yardage from another project. You're paying for skilled labor without a markup on materials. The trade-off is that you're responsible for sourcing, so factor in your time and the cost of the fabric when comparing quotes.
