Services & Process

Tom Malloy Upholstery handles full furniture reupholstery, which means stripping a piece down to its frame, evaluating structural integrity, replacing foam and padding, and applying new fabric chosen by the customer. The shop works on sofas, loveseats, armchairs, recliners, ottomans, and dining chairs. Fabric selection is a core part of the process, with customers choosing from a range of textures, weights, and colors. They also replace worn webbing and spring systems, which matter as much as the outer fabric for long-term comfort.

Tom Malloy Upholstery serves Campbell and the surrounding South Bay communities, including San Jose, Los Gatos, and Saratoga. The shop's location in central Campbell makes it a practical stop for homeowners throughout the western and southern parts of the valley.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Tom Malloy Upholstery work on antique or heirloom furniture pieces?
Furniture upholstery shops with a focused residential practice typically have experience with older pieces that require extra care. It's a good idea to mention the age and history of the piece when you call so the shop can plan the right approach.
Can I bring my own fabric to an upholstery shop?
Most shops allow customer-supplied fabric, though some charge a cutting or handling fee since they earn margin on materials they source. Confirm this policy when you call and make sure you have enough yardage, as the shop can tell you how much you'll need.
How do I know if a furniture frame is worth reupholstering?
Solid hardwood frames in good structural condition are almost always worth restoring, especially on older pieces built before furniture quality declined. If the frame is particle board or shows significant damage, the cost-benefit calculation changes.
What's the difference between reupholstering and slipcovers?
Reupholstering replaces the fabric permanently and usually involves replacing foam and padding too, while slipcovers are removable fabric covers fitted over the existing upholstery. Reupholstering produces a cleaner, more tailored result but costs more than a slipcover.
How should I prepare my furniture before dropping it off at the shop?
Clear out any cushions, throws, or personal items stored in or on the piece. You don't need to strip anything yourself, that's what the shop is there for, but removing drawers or detachable parts makes transport easier.
Is it possible to change the style of a piece through reupholstery, like adding tufting?
Yes, skilled upholsterers can modify or add design elements like button tufting, piping, or nail head trim during the process. Discuss any style changes during your initial consultation so they can factor the work into the estimate.
