About Top Notch Upholstery

Top Notch Upholstery is a furniture reupholstery specialist based in San Jose, California, with a 4.5-star rating from 44 reviewers. San Jose's large and diverse housing stock, from mid-century homes in Willow Glen to modern condos downtown, means there's constant demand for skilled upholstery work. Residents here tend to hold onto quality furniture longer than average, especially given the high cost of replacing it with anything comparable. A focused reupholstery shop like this one suits customers who already know what they want and are looking for reliable craftsmanship.

Services

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery is the core offering here, covering everything from single dining chairs to full sofas and sectionals. The process involves removing the existing fabric, evaluating the cushion foam and internal structure, and then re-covering the piece with new material of your choosing. Leather furniture is also a common request, requiring specific techniques and materials that differ from fabric work. For pieces with sentimental value or antique frames, careful attention to the existing construction is part of getting the job done right.

Service Area

Top Notch Upholstery operates out of San Jose and serves customers throughout Santa Clara County. Whether you're coming from Evergreen, Almaden Valley, or the neighborhoods closer to downtown, the shop is accessible from most parts of the city and surrounding communities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you reupholster a sofa that has a pull-out sleeper mechanism?
Yes, sleeper sofas can be reupholstered, though they're more complex than standard sofas due to the mechanism inside. The job typically takes a bit longer and may cost slightly more because of the additional disassembly involved.
What types of fabric work best for high-traffic furniture?
Performance fabrics, tightly woven textiles, and leather are all solid choices for pieces that see heavy daily use. Your upholsterer can point you toward options that balance durability with the look you're going for.
Do you work on outdoor furniture as well as indoor pieces?
Some upholstery shops handle outdoor furniture using weather-resistant materials, but it's worth confirming this when you call. Outdoor fabric and foam need to be specifically rated for UV exposure and moisture.
How much does it typically cost to reupholster an armchair in San Jose?
Pricing varies based on the size of the piece, fabric selection, and the condition of the existing frame and foam. A standard armchair might run anywhere from a few hundred dollars on the low end to over a thousand for a larger or more complex piece with premium fabric.
Will the reupholstered furniture look like new when it's finished?
A well-done reupholstery job gives the piece a completely fresh appearance, especially with new fabric and foam. The frame and bones of the furniture remain, so vintage or antique pieces keep their original character while looking updated.
Do I need to remove legs or disassemble the furniture before bringing it in?
Most shops prefer to receive the piece fully assembled so they can assess it properly. Legs are sometimes removed to make transport easier, but the shop team can usually guide you on what makes sense for your specific item.
