Services

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Custom furniture upholstery means the shop tailors every aspect of the job to your specifications, including fabric choice, cushion density, trim style, and finishing details. They work on sofas, chairs, sectionals, headboards, and other upholstered pieces, building each project to the customer's exact requirements rather than a one-size approach. This is especially useful for homeowners with unusual furniture dimensions or designers specifying a precise look for a client. The focus is on getting the details right, not just getting the job done.

Service Area

RJ's Custom Furniture Upholstery works out of Reno and takes on projects from across the Truckee Meadows region. Interior designers working on projects in northern Nevada frequently source custom upholstery work in Reno rather than shipping pieces out of state. The shop serves residential and design trade clients throughout the area.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes custom upholstery different from standard reupholstery?
Standard reupholstery replaces old fabric with a new one in a similar style, while custom work means every detail, including fabric, cushion fill, trim, and construction, is specified by you. It's the difference between a basic refresh and something built to your exact vision.
Can RJ's work with fabric sourced from a designer or design firm?
Custom upholstery shops routinely work with trade fabrics supplied by interior designers. As long as the fabric is appropriate for upholstery use and you provide enough yardage, most shops will accommodate it.
How do I choose the right cushion density for a reupholstery project?
Cushion firmness depends on use and personal preference. High-density foam lasts longer and holds its shape better in heavily used pieces, while softer fills are more comfortable for light-use accent furniture. A good upholsterer will walk you through the options.
Can I have decorative details like tufting or welting added to an existing piece?
Yes, custom reupholstery is one of the best opportunities to add details like button tufting, contrast welting, or nailhead trim that weren't on the original piece. Discuss these options during your initial consultation.
Is there a minimum order size for custom upholstery work?
Most custom shops will take on single-piece projects, though the cost per piece is naturally higher for smaller jobs. It's worth calling to discuss the scope of your project and confirm they can accommodate it.
How do I care for newly upholstered furniture to keep it looking good?
Regular vacuuming removes dust and debris before it works into the fibers, and prompt spot cleaning prevents stains from setting. Ask the shop which cleaning products are safe for the specific fabric they used, since different materials have different care requirements.
