Craftsmanship, Care, and a Commitment to Doing It Right
When you walk into a restaurant, church, or office and sit down on a perfectly cushioned, great-looking seat—you probably don’t think about what went into making it that way. But at JD’s Upholstery, quality is never an accident. It’s the result of decades of hands-on experience, expert craftsmanship, and careful attention to every last detail.
So what exactly goes into high-quality upholstery work? Here’s a look behind the scenes at the process that sets JD’s apart.
🧵 Step 1: Listening to Your Needs
Every project starts with a conversation. Whether you’re updating church pews, restaurant booths, office chairs, or custom seating, we take the time to understand:
-
The purpose and setting of the furniture
-
Any issues with current materials (wear, comfort, appearance)
-
Your goals for the new look and feel
-
Budget and timeline requirements
We believe good communication is the foundation of great results.
🪑 Step 2: Inspecting the Frame and Structure
Before any new fabric or foam goes on, we inspect the structure of the piece itself. We check:
-
The integrity of the frame
-
Screws, joints, and brackets for stability
-
Any signs of wood rot, damage, or weakness
This ensures that your furniture not only looks great—it performs reliably over time.
✂️ Step 3: Stripping and Prepping
We carefully remove old fabric, foam, and fasteners, preparing the surface for restoration. This step is delicate—rushing here can cause damage. Our skilled team knows how to handle older pieces, including antique pews or vintage booths, with precision and care.
🪵 Step 4: Rebuilding and Reinforcing (If Needed)
If any part of the frame needs reinforcing, we take care of it before moving forward. That might include:
-
Re-gluing or replacing wood components
-
Adding new supports
-
Replacing broken springs or webbing
We don’t just cover up problems—we fix them.
🧼 Step 5: New Foam, Padding, and Support
Comfort is key. We use high-density commercial-grade foam that holds its shape, supports well, and resists breakdown over time. Depending on the use, we may layer foams or add batting for extra softness or structure.
🪡 Step 6: Fabric Application – The Art of the Finish
This is where the magic happens. We apply your chosen fabric—whether it’s vinyl, leather, commercial-grade fabric, or something specialty—with precise measurements, clean lines, and expert stitching. Seams are aligned, corners are sharp, and nothing is left loose or uneven.
We treat every piece as a showcase of our craftsmanship.
✅ Step 7: Final Quality Check
Before anything leaves our workshop, it’s inspected thoroughly. We test the seating, check the durability of stitching, and ensure the finish looks flawless. It doesn’t leave our hands until we’d be proud to have it in our own church, restaurant, or home.
That’s the JD’s Difference
When you work with JD’s Upholstery, you’re getting more than a facelift—you’re getting furniture built to last, seating that performs, and craftsmanship that shows.
