Services & Process

Sickel's handles full furniture reupholstery, which means stripping down existing pieces to the frame and rebuilding them with new padding, springs, and fabric. Their fabric store component gives customers the chance to pick from a wide selection of materials on-site, from durable performance fabrics to softer decorative options. They also carry furniture, which is useful for customers who want to compare new pieces against the cost of reupholstering what they already own. Custom work is available for chairs, sofas, headboards, and accent pieces.

Service Area

Sickel's Upholstery primarily serves San Marcos and surrounding North County communities including Escondido, Vista, San Elijo Hills, and Carlsbad. Their location makes them accessible to customers throughout the broader North San Diego County region who want local, hands-on service.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Sickel's Upholstery sell fabric to the public, or only use it for their own projects?
They operate as both a fabric store and an upholstery shop, so customers can purchase fabric independently for their own projects. This is handy for DIYers or crafters who want professional-grade materials without paying retail markup at a big-box store.
How do I know if it's worth reupholstering a sofa versus buying a new one?
The general rule is that if the frame is solid hardwood and structurally sound, reupholstery is almost always worth it. New furniture at a similar quality level often costs more than having a good piece professionally redone with fabric you actually chose.
How long does a standard furniture reupholstery job take in San Marcos?
Most single pieces like a chair or loveseat take about one to two weeks once the project starts. Larger jobs or pieces with complex detailing, like tufting or nail head trim, can take longer.
Can they match an existing fabric if I want to reupholster just one chair in a set?
Matching fabric exactly is sometimes possible but depends on whether the original material is still in production. A shop with an in-house fabric selection can often find a close substitute that blends well with the existing pieces.
Do upholstery shops in San Marcos offer pickup and delivery?
Many local shops offer pickup and delivery for an added fee, particularly for large or heavy items that are difficult to transport. It's worth calling ahead to confirm availability and pricing before you book.
What types of fabric work best for homes near the San Diego coast?
Performance fabrics like Sunbrella, solution-dyed acrylics, and tightly woven synthetic blends hold up well in humid coastal environments. They resist fading from UV exposure and are easier to clean than natural fibers like linen or cotton velvet.
