Services & Process

TJ's Treasures handles furniture reupholstery from start to finish, which means stripping old fabric, repairing or replacing foam and padding, and fitting new material to the frame. On the auto side, they work on car seats, door panels, and headliners, replacing worn or torn interiors with fresh fabric or vinyl. As a furniture store as well, they carry pieces you can buy outright if repair isn't the right call. That dual setup means you can compare the cost of reupholstering your old sofa against buying something new, right there in the same location.

Service Area

TJ's Treasures primarily serves Tama and the surrounding Tama County area, including nearby towns like Toledo, Clutier, and Chelsea. Customers from Marshalltown and surrounding Marshall County also make the drive for upholstery work that's hard to find locally. The central Iowa location makes it a practical stop for anyone between Ames and Cedar Rapids.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you reupholster just one cushion, or does the whole piece need to be done?
In many cases, a single cushion can be replaced or reupholstered on its own. However, if the rest of the piece has faded or worn fabric, matching the new cushion exactly can be difficult, so some customers choose to do the full piece for a consistent look.
How long does auto upholstery work typically take?
A basic seat repair or single-panel replacement might be done in a day or two. A full interior redo with multiple seats, door panels, and a headliner can take closer to a week depending on the shop's current schedule.
Is it worth reupholstering an older piece of furniture instead of just buying new?
It often is, especially if the frame is solid wood and well-built. Quality frames from older furniture are frequently better than what you'd find in a comparable new piece at a similar price point, so putting new fabric on a good frame makes strong financial sense.
Do I need to bring fabric with me, or does the shop supply materials?
Most upholstery shops carry a selection of fabrics and vinyls in-house, so you can choose from what they stock. You're usually welcome to supply your own fabric as well, though you'll want to confirm yardage requirements with the shop beforehand.
Can torn vinyl car seats be repaired, or do they need full replacement?
Small tears and cracks in vinyl can often be repaired using filler compounds and color matching techniques. Larger damage or heavily worn surfaces are usually better addressed with a full panel replacement for a cleaner, longer-lasting result.
What types of furniture does the shop typically work on?
Sofas, armchairs, recliners, dining chairs, and ottomans are the most common pieces brought in for reupholstery. Headboards, benches, and antique pieces with sentimental value are also frequently worked on, especially in rural areas where keeping family heirlooms matters.
