About R & G Custom Upholstery

R & G Custom Upholstery is based in Kenner, Louisiana, a city that sits between the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport and the east bank of Jefferson Parish. Kenner's location makes it a practical hub for customers coming from both the New Orleans side and the western suburbs. The shop focuses on furniture reupholstery with a custom approach, meaning clients have real input into how their pieces turn out rather than choosing from a limited set of options. With one review on record, R & G is building its reputation in a market where word-of-mouth still drives most upholstery business.

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

R & G Custom Upholstery offers furniture reupholstery with an emphasis on customization, which means they work closely with clients on fabric choice, cushion firmness, and finishing details like piping, tufting, and trim. Custom work at this level covers sofas, chairs, loveseats, sectionals, and accent pieces. They likely source fabric from a range of suppliers, giving clients access to options beyond what a basic shop might stock. For customers with a specific vision or a piece that needs a tailored approach, the custom focus is a real advantage over shops that treat every job identically.

Service Area

R & G Custom Upholstery serves Kenner and the surrounding Jefferson Parish communities, including Metairie, River Ridge, and Harahan. Their location near the airport corridor makes them easy to reach from multiple directions in the metro area. Clients from nearby St. Charles Parish also find Kenner a convenient location for custom upholstery work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 'custom upholstery' actually mean compared to standard reupholstery?
Standard reupholstery replaces worn fabric and padding with new materials, often following the original design closely. Custom upholstery gives you more control over every decision, from the type and density of foam to the specific fabric, the style of cushion edge, and decorative elements like welting or nail head trim. The result is a piece that reflects your preferences rather than just matching what was there before.
Can R & G Custom Upholstery match fabric to existing furniture in my room?
Matching or coordinating fabrics is a common request, and it's easier when you bring a swatch or photo of the pieces you want to complement. Upholsterers with access to wide fabric catalogs can usually find something that works with an existing color palette or texture. If an exact match is required, they may need to source a specific material, which can affect both cost and timeline.
Does R & G work on both modern and traditional furniture styles?
Custom upholstery shops typically work across styles since the core skills of fabric cutting, sewing, and application are consistent regardless of whether a piece is a mid-century modern chair or a traditional rolled-arm sofa. The techniques vary, but experienced upholsterers adapt to the construction style of the piece. Sharing clear photos when you inquire helps the shop confirm their comfort level with your specific item.
What's the benefit of choosing a local Kenner upholstery shop over a larger chain?
Local shops like R & G are typically more flexible on customization, more communicative during the project, and more accountable to their community reputation. Larger operations often use standardized processes that don't accommodate unusual requests or unique pieces. You're also supporting a local business that understands Jefferson Parish's specific climate and furniture culture.
How do I know how much fabric I'll need for my furniture project?
The upholsterer will calculate yardage based on the dimensions of each upholstered surface plus extra for seams, pattern repeat matching, and any mistakes. Most shops provide a yardage estimate before you order fabric so you don't end up short mid-project. If you're supplying your own material, always add at least 10 to 15 percent over the estimated amount as a buffer.
Can upholstery shops in Kenner also handle minor frame repairs?
Many upholstery shops address basic frame issues like regluing joints or replacing a broken leg as part of the reupholstery process, since they'll have the frame fully exposed anyway. More significant structural repairs may require a woodworker or furniture restorer. When you bring your piece in, the shop will flag any structural concerns and let you know whether it falls within their scope or needs a referral.
