About Dow Upholstery

Dow Upholstery operates in Cramerton, a small Gaston County town along the South Fork Catawba River, west of Charlotte. With a 3.8-star rating from 10 reviews, they've served a solid number of customers and built a presence in a part of the region where upholstery shops aren't as densely concentrated as in the city. Their combination of fabric retail and reupholstery services means customers can shop for material and have the work done in one place. That convenience matters in a smaller community.

Services & Process

Dow Upholstery carries fabric inventory directly, which is a genuine advantage over shops that rely entirely on order samples. Customers can see and feel materials in person before committing. Their reupholstery services cover sofas, chairs, cushions, and other upholstered furniture, using both their in-house fabric stock and customer-supplied materials. Having a fabric store component also means they're set up to help customers who want to tackle a DIY project and just need the right material and some guidance on yardage.

Service Area

Dow Upholstery serves Cramerton and the surrounding Gaston County area, including Belmont, Gastonia, and Mount Holly. Customers from the western Charlotte suburbs also make the drive for their fabric selection and reupholstery services. The shop fills a real gap for residents in Gaston County who'd otherwise have to go into Charlotte for this type of work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I buy fabric from Dow Upholstery without having them do the reupholstery?
Yes, their fabric store component means you can purchase material for your own project. Just make sure you calculate yardage correctly before you cut, since upholstery fabric purchases are typically final sale.
What's the difference between upholstery fabric and regular fabric?
Upholstery fabric is woven more tightly and rated for higher rub counts, meaning it holds up under the friction of daily sitting and use. Decorative fabric from a general craft store often isn't durable enough for furniture that gets regular use.
How much fabric do I need to reupholster a chair?
A standard armchair typically needs three to five yards of fabric, while a wingback can need up to seven yards. The best approach is to bring measurements of the seat, back, arms, and any other upholstered sections to the shop so they can give you an accurate number.
Does Dow Upholstery work on commercial furniture like restaurant or office seating?
Many upholstery shops in the area handle commercial jobs, and having an in-house fabric supply makes it easier to order larger quantities for multi-seat projects. It's worth calling to discuss the scope of a commercial job before assuming capacity.
Are there fabric options that work well for homes with pets?
Performance fabrics and tightly woven materials like crypton, microfiber, or outdoor-rated fabric tend to hold up best in homes with pets. They resist moisture, are easier to clean, and don't snag as easily as loosely woven textiles.
How do I care for newly reupholstered furniture?
Most upholstery fabrics benefit from regular vacuuming to remove dust and debris before it works into the fibers. Spot clean stains quickly with a mild cleaner appropriate for the fabric type, and keep upholstered pieces out of direct sunlight to slow fading.
