About Simpsons Upholstery

Simpsons Upholstery is based in Commerce Township, a community in Oakland County where lake living, boating, and classic car ownership are part of everyday life. The shop covers three distinct service areas: auto upholstery, boat repair, and furniture reupholstery, which positions them well for the mix of clients in this part of Michigan. Commerce Township sits near Proud Lake, Commerce Lake, and several other inland lakes, meaning boat upholstery is a real and recurring need for local customers. Few shops in the area cover all three categories under one roof.

Services

Auto Upholstery
Boat Repair
Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Auto upholstery work includes replacing or repairing seat covers, door panels, headliners, and carpeting in cars, trucks, and classic vehicles. Boat repair covers seat cushions, canvas tops, vinyl upholstery, and other interior components that take a beating from sun, water, and regular use on Michigan's lakes. Furniture reupholstery involves removing old fabric, replacing foam and webbing as needed, and applying new material to chairs, sofas, sectionals, and other pieces. Each of these categories requires different materials and techniques, and having experience across all three is a genuine differentiator.

Service Area

Simpsons Upholstery serves Commerce Township and the surrounding Oakland County area, including Wixom, Milford, Walled Lake, and Wolverine Lake. Boat owners from the surrounding lake communities and car enthusiasts from across Oakland and Livingston counties make up a big part of the customer base.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you reupholster a pontoon boat's seating for summer use?
Yes, marine upholstery is a core service for shops that serve lake communities like Commerce Township. The work involves marine-grade vinyl and UV-resistant materials designed to hold up against sun, water, and repeated use through Michigan's boating season.
Do you handle convertible tops for classic cars?
Auto upholstery shops with experience in older vehicles often work on convertible tops, including fabric replacement and frame repairs. It's best to describe your specific car and top condition when you call so they can confirm what's involved.
How do I know if my boat cushions need replacement versus repair?
If the vinyl is cracked or peeling and the foam underneath is waterlogged or compressed, replacement is usually the better option. Spot repairs work well for small tears, but cushions in rough shape often end up looking patchy rather than restored.
What kind of fabric holds up best for a family couch with kids and pets?
Performance fabrics, tightly woven synthetic blends, and treated microfiber tend to hold up best in high-use situations. Your upholsterer can show you options rated for durability and stain resistance so you're not choosing blind.
Can you match the original fabric on a vintage car interior?
Experienced auto upholsterers often have access to period-correct or reproduction materials for classic vehicles. Exact matches depend on the car's age and how common the original pattern is, but most shops can get close or find a suitable period-appropriate alternative.
How far in advance should I schedule boat upholstery work before boating season?
In Michigan, it's smart to schedule boat upholstery work in late winter or early spring, before the seasonal rush hits in April and May. Shops in lake communities like Commerce Township tend to book up quickly as temperatures rise.
