About Samson Custom Upholstery

Samson Custom Upholstery is based in Saint Paul, Minnesota, and stands out by offering both auto upholstery and furniture reupholstery under one roof. Saint Paul has a passionate car culture, and the surrounding metro area is home to plenty of classic car collectors and daily drivers who want their vehicle interiors restored or upgraded. At the same time, the city's older residential neighborhoods are filled with vintage furniture worth preserving. Having expertise in both disciplines means Samson's team understands materials and construction at a level that single-focus shops sometimes don't.

Auto Upholstery

Services & Process

On the auto side, services include replacing worn seat upholstery, repairing cracked leather or vinyl, restoring headliners, and custom interior work for classic or modified vehicles. Furniture work covers the full range of residential pieces, from sofas and sectionals to dining chairs and antique items that need careful handling. Leather repair is relevant to both sides of the business, since the techniques for conditioning and patching leather translate well across car seats and furniture alike. Clients with both a vehicle and home furniture project can often get both handled by the same trusted shop.

Service Area

Samson Custom Upholstery serves Saint Paul and the surrounding east metro Twin Cities area. Clients from neighboring communities like Maplewood, Roseville, South St. Paul, and Woodbury regularly bring both vehicles and furniture pieces to the shop. The location is accessible from throughout Ramsey County.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you reupholster the seats in a classic or antique car?
Yes, classic car seat restoration is a specialty for shops with auto upholstery experience. The goal is usually to match original materials and stitching patterns as closely as possible while using modern materials that will last.
What's involved in a car headliner replacement?
Headliner replacement involves removing the old sagging fabric, cleaning the backing board, and applying new headliner material. It's a delicate job because the board can be fragile, but a skilled auto upholsterer handles it routinely.
How do leather repairs work for both car seats and furniture?
Leather repair typically involves cleaning the damaged area, applying a filler compound for cracks or tears, and then color-matching with dye or paint. When done well, repairs are nearly invisible and can extend the life of leather significantly.
Can I get my car seats reupholstered in a different material than the original?
Absolutely. Many customers upgrade from cloth to leather or choose a custom vinyl that wasn't available from the factory. An auto upholstery shop can help you pick a material that suits your style and budget.
How do I care for newly reupholstered furniture to make it last?
Regular vacuuming, prompt spot cleaning, and keeping upholstered pieces out of direct sunlight will go a long way. For leather pieces, periodic conditioning with an appropriate product helps prevent cracking and drying.
Do you work on commercial vehicles or just personal cars?
Many auto upholstery shops are equipped to handle commercial vans, trucks, and fleet vehicles as well. It's worth calling ahead to describe the vehicle so the shop can confirm they have the right materials and equipment.
