About Fancher's Upholstery

Fancher's Upholstery in Saline, Michigan holds a perfect 5.0-star rating across 12 reviews, which says a lot in a trade where quality is everything. Saline is a small city just south of Ann Arbor, attracting homeowners, lake property owners, and boating enthusiasts who need work done right the first time. The area's proximity to several inland lakes makes marine upholstery a genuine local need, not just an add-on service. This shop has earned its reputation by delivering on both furniture and boat interior projects.

Services

Furniture Reupholstery
Boat Repair

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery here covers sofas, chairs, ottomans, and dining seating, with careful attention to foam selection and fabric application that holds up over years of use. Boat repair and marine upholstery is a distinct specialty requiring UV-resistant, waterproof, and mold-resistant materials that standard furniture fabrics simply can't provide. Cushion replacement for boat seating, helm chairs, and cabin berths involves precise pattern cutting to fit curved and irregular surfaces. For residential furniture, they also handle fabric sourcing and selection, guiding customers toward materials that match both their taste and practical needs.

Service Area

Fancher's Upholstery serves Saline and the broader Washtenaw County area, with easy access for Ann Arbor residents and customers from surrounding communities like Milan, Ypsilanti, and Chelsea. Boat owners from nearby inland lakes and the Lake Erie corridor also bring their marine upholstery work here. Call (734) 483-0549 to get started.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of fabric do you use for boat cushions?
Marine upholstery requires vinyl or specially treated outdoor fabrics that resist UV fading, mildew, and moisture. Standard home upholstery fabrics won't survive Michigan's summer sun and humidity on the water, so the material selection process is different than it is for furniture.
Can you match the original color and pattern of my boat's interior?
In many cases, yes, especially if the original material is still available through marine fabric suppliers. If an exact match isn't possible, the shop can help you find a close alternative or suggest a coordinating color that updates the look.
How far in advance should I schedule boat upholstery before the season starts?
Spring is the busiest time for marine upholstery in Michigan, so booking in late winter gives you the best chance at getting your boat ready before the warm weather arrives. Even a few weeks of lead time in early spring can make a significant difference in scheduling.
Can you reupholster just one cushion if the others are still in good shape?
Yes, single cushion replacement is possible, though finding a fabric that perfectly matches older existing pieces can be a challenge. The shop will be upfront about whether a match is achievable or whether replacing the full set makes more visual sense.
What's the difference between reupholstering and re-cushioning furniture?
Re-cushioning replaces just the foam or fill inside existing cushion covers, while reupholstering replaces both the fabric covering and often the underlying padding. If your covers are still in good condition but the cushion feels flat, re-cushioning alone may solve the problem for less cost.
Do you serve customers coming from Ann Arbor?
Yes, Saline is just a short drive from Ann Arbor, and many Ann Arbor homeowners and boaters use this shop regularly. The location is easy to reach from most parts of Washtenaw County.
