Furniture worth keeping deserves a second life.

We rebuild sofas, chairs, booths and boat interiors the way they were meant to be built — from the frame up, by hand, in a shop where the same people who quote your piece are the ones who work on it.

Free estimate, no obligation — text a few photos to 408-915-7560 and we can usually give you a ballpark the same day.

What we do

Repair vs. replace

Why buy new when the good frame is already yours?

Furniture built twenty or eighty years ago used kiln-dried hardwood with doweled, corner-blocked joints. Most furniture sold today is stapled engineered board. If your old piece feels solid when you lift it, that is a frame worth keeping.

Rebuild it with us

Your frame, made new

  • Kiln-dried hardwood frame you already own, reglued and doweled
  • Exact same proportions — it still fits your room and your doorways
  • Thousands of fabrics from Charlotte, Barrow and Greenhouse books

  • One less sofa in a landfill
Buy new instead

Showroom furniture

  • Stapled engineered board and glued joints in most price ranges
  • Whatever size the manufacturer made — measure your doorway first
  • The handful of covers on the showroom floor
  • Thin factory foam that flattens in a season or two
  • A piece with good bones goes to the curb

“Piere and his team did a fabulous job on a recliner couch that we adopted from family. He had and his team had excellent communication and professionalism throughout the whole process. From when they would come to our place to pick up the couch, to the time they would deliver, and finish the job right with scotch guard… They are trustworthy, kind, caring and having a great sense of humor! We will be back again!”

“They reupholstered our dining chairs and a set of bar stools, which now look lovely. The owners are helpful, well educated, skilled, and easy to communicate with. The work is fairly priced and well done. Unlike another place I’d been to, their shop is well-organized and does not smell musty. If i have more work, I’ll come back.”

Common questions

The things people ask before they call.

Call or text 408-915-7560, or email photos to sjcu408@gmail.com. Send a few clear shots from different angles and we can usually give you a ballpark figure the same day. For an exact quote we like to see the piece in person — and we offer free pickup throughout the Bay Area.
It depends on the size of the piece, the condition of the frame and springs, and the fabric you choose. A dining chair is a modest job; a large sectional with hand-tied springs is a bigger one. We quote every piece individually, and the estimate is always free with no obligation.
Most residential pieces take two to three weeks from the day the fabric arrives. Dining chairs and simple cushion work are often faster. Full frame rebuilds or pieces needing custom-milled parts take longer — and we tell you the realistic timeline before any work begins.
Yes — pickup and delivery are free within our Bay Area service area, covering San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Campbell, Los Gatos, Cupertino, Milpitas and the surrounding communities. Let us know when you call and we will arrange a time that works for you.
Absolutely. Many customers bring their own material and we are glad to work with it. We will tell you honestly how much yardage you need and whether the fabric suits the piece. We also carry a large selection from Charlotte Fabrics, Barrow Industries and Greenhouse Fabrics if you would rather choose from our books.
Usually, yes. Older furniture was built with hardwood frames and joinery that outlasts most new production furniture. If the frame is sound, reupholstering costs a fraction of buying comparable quality new — and you keep the piece and the proportions you already like.
Yes. We regularly handle work for medical offices, restaurants, cafes, bars and schools — including booth seating, waiting-room chairs and bar stools. We can work with contract-grade and high-durability fabrics that meet commercial requirements.
Yes. We often replace sagging foam, retie springs, repair loose arms and fix broken webbing while keeping your existing fabric, provided the fabric is still in good condition. It is a common and much less expensive fix for a piece that just feels tired.
