About Merchan Upholstery

Merchan Upholstery serves Madison, Wisconsin, handling both auto and furniture reupholstery work under one roof. Madison's mix of older homes near the Capitol Square and a strong local car culture means there's steady demand for skilled upholstery work year-round. Whether you're restoring a vintage chair or refreshing your vehicle's interior, having a shop that handles both jobs saves you the hassle of finding two separate specialists. Reach them directly at (608) 622-2970 to discuss your project.

Services & Process

On the furniture side, Merchan replaces worn fabric, rebuilds cushion padding, and restrings seat frames to bring pieces back to a usable, attractive condition. Auto upholstery work covers seat covers, door panels, headliners, and carpet replacement for cars, trucks, and SUVs. Fabric selection is part of the process for both services, so customers can choose materials that match their home decor or vehicle interior. Wisconsin winters can be rough on both leather car seats and household furniture, making periodic professional care a practical investment.

Service Area

Merchan Upholstery is based in Madison, WI, and serves customers throughout Dane County. Nearby communities like Middleton, Fitchburg, Sun Prairie, and Monona are all reasonable drives to the shop, making it a convenient option for the greater Madison metro area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you reupholster both my car seats and my living room couch?
Yes, Merchan Upholstery handles both auto and furniture reupholstery. Having both services available means you can bring multiple projects to one shop and work with a team that understands different material types and construction methods.
How long does a typical auto upholstery job take in Madison?
Most auto seat or door panel jobs can be completed within a few days, depending on the scope of work and how busy the shop is. More complex projects involving headliners, full carpet replacement, or custom work may take longer.
What types of fabric can I choose for furniture reupholstery?
Options typically include woven fabrics, microfiber, vinyl, and leather or faux leather, depending on your preference and budget. The shop can help you pick something durable enough for your household's needs, including homes with pets or kids.
Is it worth reupholstering an older sofa versus buying a new one?
It often makes financial and practical sense, especially if the frame is solid hardwood and the piece has sentimental value. A quality reupholstery job on a well-built older sofa can extend its life by many years at a fraction of what comparable new furniture would cost.
Do you work on classic or vintage cars?
Many auto upholstery shops in Madison work on vintage vehicles, and Merchan's focus on auto upholstery makes them a reasonable option for classic car projects. It's best to call ahead and describe your specific vehicle so they can confirm they have the right materials and experience.
How do I get a price estimate before committing to the work?
Call (608) 622-2970 to describe your project or bring the item in for an in-person look. Most shops provide a quote after seeing the piece, since condition, size, and material choice all affect the final price.
