Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

By Fenris Morrow, Expert in Professional Services · ✓ Data verified July 2026 · 8 min read

Your favorite armchair has good bones and a torn seat, and tossing it feels wrong. Seattle still has shops that reframe, refoam, and recover furniture by hand, plus a few who live for classic-car interiors. Of the 18 upholstery services in Seattle we found with an active Google presence, the top name here, Highlands Upholstery, carries 143 reviews at 4.9, and ratings across the five don't dip below 4.3.

Short answer: Highlands Upholstery tops the list at 4.9 stars across 143 reviews, the deepest proven record of any shop here. Convertibles Only (4.9, 75 reviews) is the specialist for soft tops and classic-car interiors, and Rich's Custom Upholstery handles both furniture and auto work at scale. Budget roughly $600-$4,000 to reupholster a sofa, depending on fabric and frame.

Convertibles Only

4.975 Google reviews

Convertibles Only has spent roughly two decades on one thing: soft tops and interiors for convertibles, from modern cars to classic and antique show vehicles. The Seattle shop rebuilds full interiors in leather, replaces and repairs convertible tops, and takes on the trim pieces most general shops skip. Les, Abraham, and the crew are the names that come up most in reviews. It's a specialist, not a furniture studio.

What people praise

  • Deep expertise with convertible tops and classic-car interiors
  • Fit and finish that customers say beats factory
  • Small courtesies noted, like patching a top while a replacement is on order
  • Quick turnarounds, with some jobs done in a couple of days

Worth knowing

  • Focused on automotive and marine work, not household furniture
  • A small specialist shop, so book ahead

Our take: The call for a classic car or a convertible top. Its 4.9 rating nearly matches the winner, and it ranks second on a shorter, though still substantial, review history.

Rich's Custom Upholstery

4.4117 Google reviews

Rich's Custom Upholstery on Aurora Ave is a broad shop that crosses furniture, auto, and marine work under one roof. Reviews describe dining-chair recovers, foam replacement in a decades-old recliner, classic-truck bench seats, and full campervan interiors, so the range is unusually wide. Moe runs the operation, and customers mention quoted prices holding to the final bill. It's the busiest generalist on this list.

What people praise

  • Handles furniture, auto, and marine in one place
  • Quotes that customers say match the final invoice
  • Fast on multi-chair jobs
  • Sources hard-to-find and new-old-stock materials

Worth knowing

  • A small share of reviews mention mixed experiences, worth reading before you commit
  • A high-volume shop, so lead times can vary

Our take: A strong generalist if you want furniture and auto handled together. It ranks third on heavy volume; its 4.4 rating trails the two shops above it, which is why it sits here rather than higher.

5.045 Google reviews

Artistic Upholstery and Restoration is Jerry Emtage's furniture-focused shop in West Seattle, known for reworking loved pieces like loveseats, dining chairs, ottomans, and window-seat cushions.

The work is residential furniture, start to finish.

What people praise

  • A perfect 5.0 rating across every reviewer
  • Hands-on fabric guidance with a large swatch selection
  • Pickup and delivery offered
  • Extra touches, like refinishing wood and protective covers
  • Reliable on tight timelines

Our take: If a flawless record matters most, this is your shop. We rank it fourth on proven volume, not quality: the 5.0 is genuinely elite, but it rests on 45 reviews rather than the 100-plus behind the shops above it.

Durham Upholstery

4.367 Google reviews

Durham Upholstery has worked out of SeaTac since 1956, which makes it the oldest shop on this list. The focus is automotive and marine: car seats, headliners, convertible tops, sunroofs, fleet vehicles, and boat interiors, plus seasonal water-leak repair for Pacific Northwest weather. Free estimates come by phone or text. It's a practical, repair-first operation rather than a boutique studio.

What people praise

  • Decades of auto and marine experience
  • Competitive, upfront pricing customers cite by dollar amount
  • Fast turnarounds and same-week openings
  • Good communication when parts arrive damaged

Worth knowing

  • Automotive and marine focus, not household furniture
  • Its rating sits a touch below the others here, with a few older reviews reading mixed

How we score these shops

Rating is each shop’s live Google average. Review volume is how many customers rated them, ranked against every other upholsterer in the pool. Confidence weights the rating by that volume, so a 5.0 on 45 reviews reads differently than a 4.9 on 143. Recency tracks how recently people are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change any of these numbers.

What does upholstery work cost in Seattle? (2026)

Price rides mostly on the fabric you choose and the shape of the frame underneath. Yardage, hand-tufting, and antique repairs push it up fast, while a simple seat recover stays modest.

JobTypical price
Reupholster a dining chair (each)$100-$800
Reupholster an armchair$400-$1,500
Reupholster a sofa$600-$4,000
Replace foam or cushion inserts$50-$300 per cushion
Auto seat or headliner repair$200-$750

Ranges compiled July 2026 from HomeGuide and Angi national reupholstery pricing; local Seattle quotes vary with fabric grade and frame condition. These are third-party averages, not quotes from the businesses on this page, so ask each company for its own written price.

Serving Seattle and the Eastside

Whether you’re in Ballard, Capitol Hill, West Seattle, or Fremont, or out on the Eastside in Bellevue and Redmond, these shops cover the metro and down to SeaTac. Searching ‘upholstery near me’ in Seattle usually surfaces a mix of furniture and auto specialists, so match the shop to the job before you drive over.

What to ask before you hand over your furniture

  • Do you provide a written estimate before starting the work?
  • Is fabric priced separately, and can I supply my own?
  • Do you offer pickup and delivery for large pieces?
  • What’s the current lead time from approval to finished piece?
  • Do you handle automotive or marine interiors, or furniture only?
  • Is there a warranty on the workmanship?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data, the live rating and review volume for each shop. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another shop’s score or position.

How did you choose these five upholstery shops?

We compared every upholsterer in the Seattle area with a real Google track record, then weighed live ratings against review volume and how recently customers were still reviewing. We don’t hire or test shops ourselves; we analyze the public record.

How often is this list updated?

The ratings and review counts here were verified in July 2026. We refresh them as the public Google data changes, so numbers can shift between visits.

Should I pick a furniture shop or an auto upholstery shop?

Match the shop to the piece. Highlands and Artistic lean residential furniture, while Convertibles Only and Durham focus on cars, tops, and marine interiors. Rich’s crosses both, which is handy if you have a mixed list.

Is reupholstering cheaper than buying new?

It depends on the frame and fabric. Solid, well-built furniture with sentimental value is usually worth recovering; a flimsy frame often isn’t. Ask the shop to assess the frame before you commit.

The bottom line

For most furniture jobs, Highlands Upholstery is the safe default on the strength of its rating and volume together. If your project is a convertible top or a classic-car interior, call Convertibles Only instead. Whichever you pick, get the frame assessed and the fabric priced in writing before the work starts.
