Services & Process

Reupholstery here covers everything from simple dining chair recovers to complex multi-piece sectionals and antique pieces requiring careful handling. Refinishing services include stripping, sanding, staining, and finishing wood surfaces, letting you restore or completely change the look of a piece's wood components. Furniture repair addresses structural issues like broken joints, cracked frames, and damaged hardware before any cosmetic work begins. The ability to handle all three services on a single piece is a real advantage for customers with furniture that needs both structural and cosmetic attention.

Service Area

Renaissance Custom Upholstery serves San Leandro and the wider East Bay, including Oakland, Alameda, Castro Valley, and Hayward. Interior designers and homeowners from across Alameda County bring pieces here for work that requires a higher level of skill and attention. The San Leandro location is easy to reach from most East Bay cities via I-880 or I-580.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Renaissance handle antique furniture restoration?
Shops that offer both refinishing and reupholstery are well-suited for antique restoration since older pieces often need work on both the wood and the fabric. It's worth describing your piece in detail when you call so they can confirm they have experience with that style and era.
Can they match the original fabric or finish on a vintage piece?
Exact matches aren't always possible, especially for discontinued fabrics or original finishes that have aged significantly, but an experienced shop can often get very close. Bringing in photos of the original piece or fabric samples helps the shop find the best available match.
How do I prepare my furniture before dropping it off?
Remove any personal items from drawers or cushion storage, and if the piece is very large, measure your vehicle or confirm with the shop whether they offer pickup. You don't need to clean the piece since the shop will handle that as part of the process.
What's the typical cost range for refinishing a wood piece in the East Bay?
A small accent table might run $150 to $300, while a large dining table or dresser can cost $500 to $1,200 or more depending on the condition and the finish type. Intricate carving or inlay work that requires extra care adds to the cost.
Do they work with interior designers on client projects?
Full-service shops like this are a popular resource for interior designers since they can handle multiple aspects of a project in one place. If you're a designer, it's worth calling to discuss how they handle trade relationships and timelines for client work.
How far in advance should I schedule a reupholstery project in San Leandro?
Popular shops with strong reputations often book out two to four weeks or more, especially for larger projects or during busy seasons like spring and early fall. Calling ahead and scheduling as soon as you know you want the work done gives you the most flexibility on timing.
