About McAlister Upholstery and Manufacturing

McAlister Upholstery and Manufacturing operates in Hendersonville, a well-established community on the northern shore of Old Hickory Lake in Sumner County. The manufacturing component of the name signals something beyond a typical one-person shop, suggesting capacity for larger or more complex projects alongside standard reupholstery work. Hendersonville's mix of long-term residents with quality older furniture and newer families moving into the area creates consistent demand for skilled upholstery services. The shop currently holds a 3.0 rating based on early feedback, and there's room to develop a fuller picture of the work they do.

Services

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

McAlister's name includes manufacturing, which suggests they may build custom furniture pieces in addition to reupholstering existing ones. Standard reupholstery services cover the full process: stripping old material, repairing or rebuilding frames, replacing foam and support materials, and applying new fabric with precision. Custom builds would allow customers to order pieces built to specific dimensions or styles, which is particularly useful for commercial projects or unusual spaces. The shop serves both residential clients in Hendersonville and potentially commercial accounts that need furniture made or restored in volume.

Service Area

McAlister Upholstery and Manufacturing is based in Hendersonville and serves Sumner County and the surrounding region, including Gallatin, Goodlettsville, and communities along the Old Hickory Lake corridor. Customers from Madison and the northern Nashville suburbs also use the shop for both reupholstery and custom furniture needs. It's a practical choice for anyone north of downtown Nashville.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does an upholstery and manufacturing shop offer that a regular upholsterer doesn't?
A shop with manufacturing capabilities can build new furniture from scratch in addition to restoring existing pieces. This is useful if you need a piece in a specific size that's not available retail, or if you want something custom for a commercial or residential project. It's a broader range of services under one roof.
Can McAlister handle commercial upholstery projects in Hendersonville?
Shops with manufacturing capacity are often equipped for commercial work, including office seating, restaurant booth seating, or hotel furniture. Commercial projects typically involve higher quantities and more durable fabric specifications. It's worth discussing your specific needs directly to confirm they can accommodate the volume and timeline.
How long has McAlister been operating in Hendersonville?
The shop is currently building its online review presence, so detailed history isn't fully documented in public listings. Calling directly is the best way to learn about their background, experience, and current capacity. Experienced shops are usually happy to discuss their history and the types of projects they've completed.
Can I get replacement cushions made without reupholstering the whole piece?
Yes, cushion replacement is a common standalone service. A shop with manufacturing capability can cut new foam to the exact dimensions of your existing cushions and either cover them in matching fabric or a new material you choose. This is a cost-effective way to refresh a piece that's structurally sound but has dead cushions.
What types of commercial fabrics are available for high-traffic seating?
Commercial-grade fabrics are rated by double rub counts, with heavy commercial use requiring 100,000 or more. Options include vinyl, heavy-duty wovens, and performance textiles that clean easily and resist wear. Your upholsterer can recommend specific materials based on the type of use and the look you need.
Is it possible to have furniture built to a custom size for a boat or lake house?
A shop with manufacturing capabilities can often build seating or cushioned pieces to custom dimensions, which is useful for lake houses, boats, or any space with unusual measurements. Marine-grade fabrics that resist moisture and UV fading would be appropriate choices for these environments. Confirm this capability when you call to discuss your project.
