Family-owned craft

A father, a daughter, and careful stitches.

Gary opened Renew Upholstery Services in 2012 after a lifetime in the trade. His daughter Ashton runs the sewing floor today, bringing the finish detail customers see first — fabric pattern, welt placement, seams, and final inspection.

What we do

Built to outlast the next sofa you'd buy off the floor.

Every project leaves the shop with new high-density foam, rebuilt seat decks, and stitching rated for the load it carries. We work on hardwood-frame antiques, restaurant booths that take 200 sittings a day, dental chairs that get bleached every visit, and boats that bake in the Lake Norman sun. Same shop, same hands, same standard.

Tremendous craftsmanship, excellent communication, and timely service. Would recommend to anyone! Even for complicated projects like ours—two tufted antique chairs in velvet and tufted leather sofa—all from the 1920s. They were so patient and helpful throughout the entire process (even when I took forever to choose materials and when the innards of the couch proved to need more TLC than we originally thought).

I am always impressed with the quality of work and the professionalism displayed. Their knowledge of the upholstery industry is A+. I highly recommend this service for anyone needing skilled and courteous commercial upholstery. They are probably the best with vinyls and leather that I have ever seen in my 40+ years in the Office Furnishings business.

Jason Pegg · Commercial Upholstery ★★★★★ Google

Gary repaired an Italian leather couch which our cat had scratched in several places. The first impressive thing is that he arrived timely and did everything he promised. His work is phenomenal. He is absolutely a master craftsman. His attention to detail is amazing and he doesn't take short cuts. He repaired the couch as if it was his own. His prices are absolutely fair. Highly recommend!!
