About Hughes Upholstery

Hughes Upholstery operates out of Pittsboro, Indiana, a growing Hendricks County town situated along US-136 west of Indianapolis. As more families move into the western suburbs of Indy, demand for local furniture restoration has grown right along with the housing market. Hughes Upholstery fills that need for residents who want skilled craftsmanship without driving into the city. It's the kind of neighborhood business that makes a community feel complete.

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Hughes Upholstery focuses on furniture reupholstery, covering everything from single accent chairs to full living room sets. The process involves removing old fabric, assessing the frame and inner structure, replacing worn padding or webbing as needed, and applying new fabric with clean, tight seams. Fabric selection is part of the conversation, helping customers match their existing decor or go in a completely new direction. Dining chairs, recliners, and sofas are among the most commonly serviced items.

Service Area

Hughes Upholstery serves Pittsboro and the broader Hendricks County area in Indiana. Customers from Brownsburg, Lizton, and parts of Avon regularly use local shops in this corridor rather than heading all the way into downtown Indianapolis.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it possible to change the style of a piece when reupholstering it?
Absolutely. Reupholstery is a great opportunity to modernize a piece, whether that means switching from a busy pattern to a solid, updating the cushion style, or adding details like button tufting. You're essentially getting a new look on a proven frame.
What fabric types work best for homes with pets?
Performance fabrics, tightly woven materials like crypton or outdoor-grade fabrics, and leather are all strong choices for pet owners. They resist scratching, staining, and odor better than natural fibers like linen or loosely woven textiles.
How do I transport large furniture to an upholstery shop?
For most sofas and large chairs, you'll need a truck or SUV, or you can ask a friend with a van to help. Some shops offer pickup and delivery for an additional fee, so it's worth asking when you call.
Can antique furniture be reupholstered without damaging it?
Yes, with care. Experienced upholsterers know how to work around delicate frames, hand-carved details, and older joinery. The key is communicating the piece's age and value upfront so the shop can take the right approach.
How many yards of fabric does a typical sofa require?
A standard three-cushion sofa usually needs between 12 and 18 yards of fabric, depending on the pattern repeat and the complexity of the frame. A shop will measure the piece and calculate the exact yardage before ordering materials.
Do upholstery shops in Indiana work with interior designers?
Many do, and it's actually a common working relationship. Interior designers often refer clients to trusted local upholsterers, or collaborate directly on fabric selection and project timelines. If you're working with a designer, mentioning that upfront helps coordinate the process.
