About Tom's Custom Upholstery

Tom's Custom Upholstery is based in Troy, Michigan, a city that's home to some of metro Detroit's highest incomes and a strong car culture fed by proximity to the auto industry. That context matters here. Troy clients are likely to bring in both classic cars and quality home furniture, and this shop covers both. Offering auto upholstery, furniture reupholstery, and furniture repair under one roof makes Tom's a practical one-stop option for customers with varied needs across multiple projects.

Auto Upholstery

Furniture Repair

Services & Process

Auto upholstery work includes replacing or repairing car seats, door panels, headliners, and convertible tops, with options ranging from factory-match vinyl to premium leather upgrades. Furniture reupholstery covers residential pieces like sofas, chairs, and dining seating, replacing fabric, foam, and internal components as needed. Furniture repair addresses structural issues like broken frames, loose joints, and damaged legs, often alongside a reupholstery job. Having all three services available means a client doesn't need to split a project between multiple vendors.

Service Area

Tom's Custom Upholstery serves Troy and the broader Oakland County area, including nearby cities like Sterling Heights, Royal Oak, Madison Heights, and Birmingham. Given the shop's auto upholstery capability, clients also come from further across the metro Detroit region for vehicle interior work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you reupholster classic car seats to match the original interior?
Yes, auto upholstery shops that specialize in custom work can match original patterns, materials, and colors using period-correct materials or high-quality reproductions. Bring photos of the original interior and any reference materials you have for the best results.
What's the difference between reupholstering and repairing furniture?
Reupholstery replaces the fabric, foam, and sometimes the interior support structure of a piece, giving it a fully renewed surface. Furniture repair focuses on the structural or mechanical issues, like a broken frame, wobbly leg, or damaged joint, that affect how the piece holds together.
How much does auto upholstery typically cost compared to furniture reupholstery?
Auto upholstery pricing varies widely based on the vehicle, the materials chosen, and the scope of work, with a full interior replacement running anywhere from a few hundred to several thousand dollars. Furniture reupholstery costs depend on the piece size and fabric selection, and a shop that does both can give you realistic estimates for each.
Can you repair a car headliner that's sagging or falling down?
Headliner repair and replacement is a common auto upholstery service, and sagging is typically caused by the adhesive failing over time. A shop can reattach or fully replace the headliner material depending on how far gone it is.
Do you work on convertible tops?
Many auto upholstery shops with custom capabilities handle convertible top replacement, which involves removing the old top, inspecting the mechanism and rear window, and installing a new fabric or vinyl top. It's specialized work that requires experience with how the top attaches and seals.
Is it possible to fix furniture that has both a broken frame and torn fabric at the same time?
Absolutely, and it's actually the most efficient way to handle it. A good upholstery shop will address any structural issues first, then do the fabric work, so you're not reupholstering a piece that'll break again a month later.
