Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Pemberton's focuses on custom furniture reupholstery, tailoring each job to the specific piece and the customer's preferences rather than using a standard formula. This includes full fabric replacement on sofas, loveseats, armchairs, and ottomans, as well as cushion re-stuffing to restore proper support. The custom approach means you can mix fabrics on a single piece, add welting or trim details, or request specific stitching patterns that match an existing design scheme. They work with a range of upholstery-grade fabrics to suit both traditional and contemporary interiors common in West Bloomfield homes.

Service Area

Pemberton's Custom Upholstering primarily serves West Bloomfield and the surrounding Oakland County communities, including Bloomfield Hills, Pontiac, and Waterford. The shop is well-positioned to serve the densely residential areas along Orchard Lake Road and beyond. Customers from across the northwestern Detroit suburbs regularly visit for custom upholstery work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 'custom upholstering' mean compared to standard reupholstery?
Custom upholstering means the shop tailors every aspect of the job to your specific piece and preferences, including fabric choice, cushion density, trim details, and stitching style. Standard reupholstery typically replaces fabric without much customization beyond material selection. If you want the finished piece to match a particular look or feel, custom work gives you much more control over the result.
How do I choose the right fabric for my furniture?
Think about how the piece gets used daily, since a family room sofa needs tougher fabric than a formal sitting room chair. Ask the shop about durability ratings, which are measured in double rubs, and look for fabrics rated at 30,000 or higher for everyday use. The shop can show you samples and recommend options that balance style with practicality.
Can Pemberton's match existing fabric or trim on other furniture in my room?
Bring a fabric swatch or photos of the other pieces in your room when you visit. A good custom upholstery shop can help you find a fabric that coordinates or even closely matches an existing pattern or color. Exact matches aren't always possible, but a skilled shop can get you very close.
Is it possible to change the cushion firmness when reupholstering?
Yes, and many customers use the reupholstery process as an opportunity to improve cushion comfort, not just the fabric. You can request softer or firmer foam, add a down-blend wrap for a plusher feel, or switch to a different fill material entirely. Let the shop know what you want before work starts so the right materials are ordered.
How do I know if my furniture frame is worth reupholstering?
A solid hardwood frame that's still structurally sound is almost always worth saving, especially if the piece has sentimental value or was originally high quality. Frames with cracked joints or significant damage may need repairs that add to the cost, so ask the shop to evaluate the frame before committing. They'll give you an honest assessment of whether the project makes financial sense.
Does Pemberton's work with interior designers or decorators?
Many custom upholstery shops in the West Bloomfield area work closely with interior designers who spec fabrics and coordinate projects for their clients. If you're working with a designer, it's worth mentioning that when you call, since the shop may already have an established relationship. Designers often handle the fabric sourcing and communication with the shop on your behalf.
