Hughes Custom Upholstery
Before & After SlideShow
I fall in love with most all of the pieces that I do. Whether its for a customer or something I picked up and refurbished for resale, I treat every piece as if it were my own. Here are some pictures of items I have done and also in the description I included approximate price that I charge to give you an idea. When giving quotes I hardly ever include fabric cost or foam if needing replacing. Most of my customers provide their own fabric; I do, however, have fabric books available to order from and some websites that offer great fabric deals as well. If you are having a hard time finding the fabric you are looking for, fill out the contact us form and I will do my best to help you find what you need.
