Services & Process

Seams Upholstery handles full furniture reupholstery, which means tearing down the old material, inspecting and replacing foam or padding as needed, and applying new fabric to bring a piece back to life. As a fabric retailer as well, they stock or source a wide range of upholstery-grade textiles, from durable everyday options to higher-end decorative fabrics. This means customers can feel and compare materials in person before committing to a choice. Whether you need a single accent chair recovered or a full sectional reworked, the shop can walk you through every material decision.

Service Area

Seams Upholstery serves Grimes and the greater Des Moines metro area, including Johnston, Urbandale, and Ankeny. Customers from across Polk County and neighboring areas regularly make the short drive to Grimes for quality upholstery work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to bring my furniture in, or can you come to me?
Most upholstery shops, including Seams, typically work from a shop setting since the work requires tools, materials, and workspace that aren't easily portable. For very large pieces, you can ask about whether any pickup arrangements are possible when you call.
Can I buy fabric from you even if I'm doing the reupholstery myself?
Yes, Seams operates as a fabric retailer in addition to doing reupholstery work, so selling fabric to DIY customers is part of what they do. You can come in, look at options, and buy by the yard for your own project.
How do I know how much fabric my project will need?
A general estimate depends on the size and complexity of the piece, but an upholstery professional can give you a much more precise yardage number once they see the furniture. It's better to have a little extra than to run short mid-project, so they'll usually build in a small buffer.
What types of furniture can be reupholstered?
Most upholstered furniture with a solid frame can be recovered, including sofas, armchairs, dining chairs, ottomans, headboards, and benches. The main limiting factor is always the condition of the underlying frame, which needs to be structurally sound for reupholstery to make sense.
How long does reupholstery take in a shop like this?
A single chair might take a few days to a week, while larger pieces like sofas can take two to three weeks depending on complexity and current workload. Timelines also depend on whether fabric needs to be ordered in or is available in stock.
What's the cost difference between reupholstering and buying new furniture?
For quality pieces with solid frames, reupholstery is almost always less expensive than buying comparable new furniture at a similar quality level. The math flips for cheap or heavily damaged pieces where the repair cost would exceed the replacement cost.
