Services & Process

Auto upholstery work typically includes replacing or repairing seat covers, door panels, headliners, and carpeting in cars, trucks, and SUVs. Leather repair on vehicle interiors is particularly common, addressing cracking, fading, and tears that come from years of Michigan weather and daily use. On the furniture side, full reupholstery involves stripping pieces to the frame and rebuilding them with fresh padding and fabric. Customers can bring in anything from a classic car in need of a period-correct interior to a dining room set that needs new cushion covers and fabric.

Service Area

R.E. Upholstery serves Wyoming and the surrounding Grand Rapids metro area, including Kentwood, Grandville, and Walker. Its south Grand Rapids location makes it convenient for customers throughout Kent County who need auto or furniture upholstery work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you repair a tear in my car's leather seat without replacing the whole seat?
Yes, small to medium tears and cracks in leather car seats can often be repaired with leather filler and color-matching dye without requiring a full replacement. The repair won't be invisible up close on every type of damage, but it can significantly improve the appearance and stop further deterioration.
What's involved in replacing a car's headliner?
Headliner replacement involves removing the old sagging material, stripping the backing board, and applying new fabric to match the original or a chosen upgrade material. It's one of the more common auto upholstery jobs because Michigan's climate and age cause headliner adhesive to fail over time.
Can the same shop really handle both car and furniture upholstery well?
Many skilled upholsterers work across both categories because the core techniques, cutting, sewing, and fitting material over a frame or surface, are fundamentally similar. Shops that do both tend to carry a wider range of materials and have experience with different types of stitching and finishing.
How do I choose between leather and fabric for reupholstering furniture?
Leather is durable, easy to wipe clean, and develops character over time, making it a great choice for heavily used pieces. Fabric offers more variety in color and texture and tends to be warmer and softer to the touch, which many people prefer for bedroom or living room seating.
Does Wyoming Michigan have good access to upholstery shops compared to other suburbs?
Wyoming's location in the south Grand Rapids metro gives residents easy access to several upholstery options, including shops that serve both auto and residential needs. Its central position means customers from Grandville, Kentwood, and Byron Center can all reach it without a long drive.
Can auto upholstery shops work on classic or vintage vehicles?
Yes, classic car interiors are a specialty for many auto upholstery shops and often require sourcing period-correct materials or finding close matches to discontinued fabrics and vinyls. It's worth asking about a shop's experience with older vehicles before committing, since it requires a different approach than modern car interiors.
