On the furniture side, they repair frames, replace worn cushion foam, and re-cover chairs, sofas, and dining pieces with customer-selected fabrics. Because they operate a fabric store alongside the repair shop, you can browse and select from a range of materials on-site before committing to any project. Foam cutting and replacement is a core specialty, which matters a lot for older furniture that's lost its support.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I buy foam and fabric to do my own upholstery project at Howard's?
Yes, the shop operates as a retail fabric and foam store in addition to offering repair services. You can purchase materials by the yard or have foam cut to custom dimensions for a DIY project.
What types of vehicles does the auto upholstery service cover?
The shop works on a range of vehicles including everyday cars, trucks, and classic or vintage cars being restored. Custom interior work and seat repairs are both available depending on what your vehicle needs.
How long does a typical furniture reupholstery job take in Rochester?
Turnaround time depends on the complexity of the piece and how busy the shop is at the time. A straightforward chair recover might take one to two weeks, while larger or more detailed projects can run longer.
Do I need to bring my car in for an auto upholstery estimate?
It's usually best to bring the vehicle in so the shop can assess the current condition of the interior and give you an accurate quote. Photos can sometimes work for basic inquiries, but an in-person look avoids surprises on pricing.
What kind of foam replacement options are available for older furniture?
The shop carries foam in various densities, so you can choose firmer support for a frequently used sofa or softer comfort foam for a decorative piece. Staff can recommend the right density based on how the piece is used.
Is Howard's Foam and Fabrics able to match original fabric on an existing piece?
Matching fabric exactly depends on whether a similar material is available in their current inventory. Bringing in a fabric sample or the original piece gives the shop the best chance of finding a close or complementary match.
