Hear from Our Customers
You know that moment when you sink into a chair and it just feels right? That’s what happens when your furniture is properly upholstered for your lifestyle. Your sofa becomes the family gathering spot again. Your dining chairs invite longer conversations over dinner. Your office chair supports those long work sessions without leaving you stiff and sore.
Custom upholstery isn’t just about covering up wear and tear—it’s about making your space function better. Whether you’re dealing with faded fabric that’s seen too many sunny afternoons or commercial seating that needs to handle daily use, the right upholstery work transforms both comfort and longevity.
In Sun Swept Isles, where salt air and year-round humidity challenge even quality furniture, choosing performance materials makes the difference between an investment that lasts and one that disappoints. Marine-grade fabrics and moisture-resistant treatments keep your newly upholstered pieces looking fresh while standing up to South Florida’s unique environmental demands.
We bring over two decades of design expertise to Sun Swept Isles, with established businesses in NYC and Toronto backing our reputation. We’re not just another upholstery contractor—we’re a comprehensive design company that understands how every element of your space works together.
What sets us apart is straightforward: we recognize that your furniture needs to perform as well as it looks. That’s why we specialize in high-grade marine fabrics and performance materials specifically chosen to handle South Florida’s humidity, salt air, and intense UV exposure without fading, cracking, or deteriorating.
From residential homes to commercial spaces including hotels, schools, and government facilities, we’ve built our local presence on delivering upholstery work that exceeds expectations. Our craftsmen combine traditional techniques with modern materials, ensuring your refreshed furniture delivers both style and substance for years to come.
We start with an in-home consultation. No dragging furniture around town or trying to explain your vision over the phone. We assess your pieces on-site, discuss your goals, and help you select fabrics that match both your aesthetic preferences and practical needs.
Fabric selection comes next, and this is where our South Florida expertise really matters. We guide you through options that not only complement your décor but can handle the local climate challenges. Think spill-resistant performance fabrics for family rooms, marine-grade vinyl for lanais and pool areas, and commercial-quality materials for high-traffic spaces.
Once we have your furniture in our workshop, our skilled upholsterers get to work. We strip each piece down to the frame, replace worn components like springs and webbing, and rebuild using premium materials and time-tested methods. The result is furniture that feels brand new while retaining all the character and comfort you originally loved.

Our upholstery services span everything from single accent pieces to complete commercial installations. We handle residential projects including living room sets, dining furniture, and bedroom pieces, plus commercial work for restaurants, hotels, and office buildings throughout Sun Swept Isles and surrounding areas.
What makes our approach different is our material expertise. South Florida furniture faces unique challenges—humidity that promotes mold growth, salt air that accelerates fading, and UV rays that break down standard fabrics within months. We stock high-performance textiles specifically engineered for these conditions, including Sunbrella outdoor collections, marine-grade vinyl, and stain-resistant performance fabrics.
Beyond standard reupholstery, we provide frame reinforcement, spring replacement, cushion refilling, and custom modifications. Need to adjust the height of dining chairs or add extra support to a sofa? We handle those modifications as part of the upholstery process. This comprehensive approach means you receive furniture that’s not just recovered, but truly customized to your specific requirements and living situation.
Most residential upholstery projects require 3-4 weeks from pickup to delivery, though timing varies based on piece complexity and fabric availability. Commercial projects or multiple-piece orders may extend this timeline.
We provide realistic completion dates upfront and maintain regular communication throughout the process. Rush service can sometimes be arranged for an additional fee, particularly for commercial clients who need furniture returned to service quickly.
The key is early planning. If you’re coordinating a room renovation or preparing for a special event, contact us early in your timeline so we can schedule work to meet your deadlines without compromising quality.
South Florida’s humidity and salt air demand careful fabric selection for lasting results. We recommend performance textiles like Sunbrella, Crypton, or Revolution that actively resist moisture, mold, and UV fading.
For outdoor and covered patio furniture, marine-grade vinyl offers superior durability. It’s engineered to withstand constant salt air exposure and intense UV rays without cracking, fading, or developing mildew. Indoor pieces benefit from moisture-resistant fabrics that won’t harbor mold or develop odors in humid conditions.
Natural fibers like cotton and linen can work with proper treatments, but they require more maintenance. We’ll explain the trade-offs for each material based on your furniture’s location and intended use, helping you make an informed decision that balances appearance with longevity.
Yes, structural repair is a core part of our upholstery services. Loose joints, broken springs, worn webbing, and even minor frame damage can typically be addressed as part of the reupholstery process.
We conduct thorough structural assessments during initial consultations and provide detailed repair recommendations. Sometimes furniture that appears beyond saving just needs new springs, joint reinforcement, and proper webbing to perform better than when originally manufactured.
We’ll only recommend against reupholstery if frame damage is so extensive that repair costs would exceed replacement value. However, most quality furniture—especially solid wood pieces—can be restored to excellent structural condition through proper craftsmanship and attention to detail.
Absolutely, we welcome customer-provided fabrics, though we do apply a Client’s Own Material (COM) handling fee to cover additional coordination and preparation requirements.
We can’t guarantee results with untested materials, and some fabrics may not be suitable for upholstery applications. We’ll evaluate your fabric choice during consultation and advise you of any durability or performance concerns before beginning work.
If you have a specific fabric in mind, bring a sample to your initial appointment. We can assess its suitability, discuss care requirements, and calculate whether additional yardage will be needed for pattern matching or future repairs.
Our standard pricing includes pickup and delivery within Sun Swept Isles, complete fabric removal, thorough frame inspection with basic repairs, new padding as required, professional reupholstery installation, and final quality inspection before delivery.
Additional services like major frame reconstruction, premium fabric upgrades, custom modifications such as changing cushion firmness, or expedited completion carry separate charges. We provide detailed written estimates outlining all included services and potential additional costs.
We also offer a $100 review incentive for customers who share detailed feedback about their experience, which helps offset project costs while assisting future customers in making informed decisions about their upholstery needs.
Yes, we excel at creating cohesive looks across multiple pieces or entire room settings. Our extensive fabric library contains hundreds of coordinating options, and we can special-order materials to achieve specific design goals.
For coordinated upholstery projects, we work closely with you to select complementary fabrics, colors, and textures that unify your space while allowing individual pieces to maintain their character. This approach is particularly valuable when updating several pieces simultaneously or integrating reupholstered furniture with existing décor.
Pattern matching is available for an additional fee when working with patterned fabrics. We calculate precise yardage requirements to ensure patterns align properly across seams, cushions, and multiple pieces, delivering a professional, intentionally designed appearance rather than simply recovered furniture.
