    Fantastic service by Toni and Mary at the Customs Shop! They provided great advice on a selection of colors and patterns, always putting our needs first, and their shop did a great job of reupholstering our armchairs. Highly recommended.

    My experience at the Custom Shop was and continues to be superior. Their knowledge and breadth of fabrics is outstanding. Most importantly they are extremely customer focused. From beginning of my process of having furniture reupholstered until the end has been wonderful. Toni and crew are great. I continue to work with them.

    I thought my couch cushion would be hard to fix since my dog ate the corner of it but Toni managed to fix it all in just minutes, free of charge! She is a true professional and it shows! I strongly recommend this place for any upholstery needs!

    This Contractor and Architect Agree that this is a great place. There is a wide selection of fabrics for different purposes and wear and we were able to agree on colors and textures more easily than we anticipated. The staff is completely knowledgeable and helpful and gave us a quote in short order. We highly recommend The Custom Shop.

The prices vary depending upon what your looking to do and what type of fabric you want. It's best to send an e-mail with a picture of the piece your looking to fix and we can give you a rough estimate?

Do you have fabric on-site?

We have some fabric on-site but we have fabric books on hand so you can pick out the exact type of fabric you want which we can order.
