Richard's Upholstery

Richard's Upholstery in Olympia, Washington offers both furniture reupholstery and auto upholstery, making it a dual-purpose shop for customers with varied needs. Olympia's mix of state government workers, outdoor enthusiasts, and classic car hobbyists creates consistent demand for both service types. The shop holds a 5.0-star rating, though from a single review, so it's an encouraging start rather than a long track record. That said, for customers who need both their living room chair and their vintage car's seats handled by one shop, this is a convenient option.

Richard's handles furniture reupholstery across standard residential pieces, including sofas, chairs, and cushioned seating of various kinds. Their auto upholstery work is a distinct specialty that involves replacing or repairing seat covers, headliners, door panels, and carpeting in cars, trucks, and specialty vehicles. Auto upholstery requires different materials and techniques than furniture work, including vinyl, automotive-grade leather, and heat-formed components. Having both capabilities under one roof is genuinely useful for collectors who restore classic vehicles alongside period-appropriate furniture for their homes.

Richard's Upholstery is located in Olympia and serves the South Sound region, including Lacey, Tumwater, and communities along the I-5 corridor between Olympia and Tacoma. Customers from smaller towns like Tenino, Yelm, and Rainier also come to Olympia for specialty trade services not available closer to home. The shop's Olympia base puts it near the state capital's mix of residential, commercial, and government clients.
