Services & Process

Mission Upholstery handles full furniture reupholstery, which involves removing existing fabric, inspecting and repairing the frame if needed, replacing foam or cushion fill, and applying new fabric chosen by the customer. Dining chair sets are a common project, since the repetition of matching fabric and foam across multiple chairs requires consistency that an experienced shop handles well. Their furniture store component means clients can also source pre-owned or new pieces and customize the upholstery finish before taking the item home. Custom cushion fabrication for window seats, banquettes, and built-in furniture is another practical service for San Diego homeowners doing renovation work.

Service Area

Mission Upholstery serves San Diego residents across neighborhoods including Mission Hills, North Park, Hillcrest, and the broader central San Diego area. Interior designers working on residential projects throughout the county also rely on the shop's combination of craftsmanship and furniture sourcing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you reupholster a set of dining chairs to match each other?
Yes, matching a full set of dining chairs is a common request, and doing them together ensures the fabric and foam density stay consistent across all pieces. It's generally more efficient to do a set at once rather than adding chairs one at a time later.
Do you sell furniture that's already upholstered, or does it need to be customized?
Mission Upholstery operates both as a repair shop and a furniture resource, so available pieces vary. Some may already be finished, while others can be upholstered in your choice of fabric before you take them home.
What types of fabric work best for homes with pets or kids?
Performance fabrics like solution-dyed acrylic, tightly woven polyester blends, and microfiber tend to hold up well in high-traffic homes. These materials resist staining and are generally easier to clean than natural fibers like cotton or linen.
Can you make custom cushions for a window seat or built-in bench?
Custom cushion fabrication is a standard upholstery service, and it requires accurate measurements of the space. Bringing a template or detailed dimensions ensures the cushion fits cleanly without gaps or overhang.
Is frame repair included in a reupholstery job?
Minor frame tightening is often part of the process when stripping and rebuilding a piece. Major structural repairs may be quoted separately depending on the extent of the damage.
How do I care for newly upholstered furniture to make it last longer?
Regular vacuuming removes dust and debris before it can work into the fabric weave. Promptly blotting spills and rotating cushions periodically helps maintain even wear, and using a fabric protector spray after the job is complete can extend the life of the upholstery.
