Biography

Furniture Upholstery

I went to trade school for five years while I was working for an upholstery company in Jamaica before I came to the U.S. Now, I own a store in Jamaica and I’m also the co-executive owner of Tidewater Furniture Upholstery here in Portsmouth.

​

I’ve been in the upholstery business for twenty years, and if I didn’t love it, I wouldn’t be in it. I love what I do and I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to open two stores.

​

The number one source of my clients is word-of-mouth. Some people come here based on referrals and others find us online. When someone recommends you and your work to their friends and family, that’s the best praise you can get. I love to see a smile on my customer's face when they pick-up their furniture from us.

I had my dining room chairs reupholstered about 7 1/2 years ago. They still look gorgeous. I also brought in my couch cushions to get new foam 6 years ago. They're still in great shape (even with my toddler jumping on them every chance she gets).

Why should I choose Tidewater Furniture Upholstery for my furniture upholstery?

​

Tidewater Furniture Upholstery has been upholstering and repairing furniture for over 16 years. We provide top-quality upholstering services for clients all over Virginia. You won’t find another upholstery business who can give you the same quality of the fabric, attention to detail, artful design, and quality of craftsmanship as we can here at Tidewater Furniture Upholstery. Our workmanship is legendary. We value every piece that passes through our doors because we know that these pieces are valuable to our clients.

 

The team at the Rivertown Interiors workspace has years of experience working in furniture upholstery. We handle every piece with extreme care and attention to detail. The results of a poor upholstery job are obvious and impossible to hide. Bad fabric matching, crooked cording, and loose fabric result in a piece that not only looks poorly done, but it ends up being uncomfortable to sit or rest on. Our craftsmen realize that aesthetics aren’t the only thing at play when we upholster and repair your furniture. We want you to enjoy looking at and actually utilizing your furniture after we are finished with it. That’s why we take care to give our full attention and energy to every piece we work on.

 

Here at Tidewater Furniture Upholstery, we can take on any furniture upholstery project. Whether you simply want a new look for your outdated sitting room chairs, or you have an old family heirloom sofa that needs to be brought back to life, we have the artful skills and attention to detail that it takes to bring your pieces back to life. Whatever look or feel you are going for, we can help you. It’s our goal to ensure that all projects reflect the personality of our clients. No matter if you want class, whimsy, elegance, or fun, our team of craftsmen will provide a superior product.

​

Call now for a free estimate.

 

 

 

Is my piece worth paying for furniture upholstery?

​

Tidewater Furniture Upholstery has the ability to take care of furniture upholstery on any piece. But the question we are often asked is “Is it worth it?” Our seasoned upholstery team can discuss with you the condition of your furniture to determine if it’s salvageable. We know that furniture pieces can be extremely significant and important. Family heirloom furniture is especially special to us because we know you could bring your pieces to anyone for furniture reupholstery. We will do our absolute best to save your pieces so they can be enjoyed for years to come.

 

 

 

Will my pieces lose value if I bring them in for furniture upholstery?

 

Not at all. Actually, the opposite. Most furniture pieces are brought in to us so that the value will be maintained. The number one reason for a refinish or for furniture upholstery is to preserve your pieces. If your furniture is on the edge of breaking or if the fabric is ripped and has holes, it’s not beautiful, and you can’t enjoy it to the fullest. When you bring your things to us here at Tidewater Furniture Upholstery, we promise to give you a final product that is beautiful, professionally done, and looks like new. Call now for a free estimate.

 

Can I provide my own material for my furniture upholstery?

 

The team at Rivertown Interiors wants you to be happy with your furniture when we are finished. You are welcome to supply your own fabrics and materials. However, we have a massive inventory of all kinds of materials for your furniture upholstery. We have luxurious fabrics of all kinds, and we also carry a sizeable inventory of leather. Our storehouses are stocked with thousands of beautiful, high-quality fabrics that we are sure will match any theme or convey the statement you want to make. Call now for a free estimate.

 

Does Tidewater Furniture Upholstery serve commercial clients?

​

Commercial clients can also benefit from the services provided by Tidewater Furniture Upholstery. Reupholstery, repair, and of course, custom pieces are all available for small businesses and larger companies alike. A qualified upholstery shop will understand that the look and feel of the pieces used in your office, store, or restaurant are important to you, your employees, and your customers. Whether you are looking for a whole new decor for your workspace or commercial space or you are simply looking to repair a few key pieces, Tidewater Furniture Upholstery is here to help.

 

When is the option for furniture repair appropriate?

​

In many cases, furniture repair might be the best option for your piece. If you have an otherwise fine item that has suffered some minor damage or damage in certain places, a quick repair can be highly effective in restoring the furniture to its original condition. The repair process can also restore the comfort of your piece, replacing worn out, flattened, or lumpy cushioning with brand new materials. An experienced upholstery shop will ensure you are fully satisfied with the repair of your furniture and will guarantee their work.

 

Can Tidewater Furniture Upholstery repair the wooden parts of my furniture, as well as the upholstery?

​

In addition to upholstery and reupholstery, furniture repair services, as well as the work involved in custom-made pieces, includes woodwork. The wooden parts of your pieces will receive the same care and attention and expert precision work as the upholstery. No matter what your style and budget, a piece of wood furniture can be fully customized to meet your needs.
