Our Story and Values
Founded in 1979, Roy Jennings Upholstery began with a simple belief: quality upholstery improves lives. Roy Jennings brings 47 years of personal experience as a master upholsterer to the business. Over the years, we have grown into a local resource for homeowners and designers needing reliable upholstery solutions.
Our shop blends traditional techniques with modern materials to deliver durable and beautiful outcomes. We prioritize craftsmanship, transparency, and a deep respect for the life furniture carries — sentimental pieces and family heirlooms.
Our Journey: From Start to Established Local Shop
The first years were spent learning every facet of upholstery — frame repair, spring systems, padding choices, and fabric behaviors. This journey is backed by Roy’s 47 years in the upholstery field, a wealth of knowledge that ensures every project meets elite standards.
Our Bedford location became a hub for local clients seeking trustworthy work. Today, we handle diverse projects: antique restorations preserving historical integrity, and modern reupholstery for contemporary homes.
Skilled Craftsmanship and Problem Solving
Frame repair and carpentry for structural integrity
Spring replacement and eight-way hand-tied techniques
Precise cutting and sewing for clean seams and patterns
Finishing methods including welt, tufting, and decorative nail work
We also maintain attentive project management so timelines, materials, and budgets are transparent and reliable.
Why Upholstery Expertise Matters
Upholstery impacts comfort, function, and appearance. Without proper support and durable materials, furniture can sag, seams can fail, and fabrics can wear prematurely.
An expert upholsterer evaluates the entire system, not just the surface, ensuring that the structure, support, and cover work together. Professionally reupholstered furniture looks better, lasts longer, and often saves money compared to premature replacement.
How We Work
Our Process: Clear, Collaborative, and Detailed
Consultation and assessment:
We begin by inspecting the piece and discussing desired outcomes. This includes talking through style preferences, durability needs, and budget.
Estimate and options:
You receive a detailed, itemized estimate describing materials, labor, and timeline.
Work and quality control:
Each piece goes through structural repairs, padding upgrades, fabric application, and rigorous final inspection.
Material selection:
We help you choose the best fabric, foam, and trim for your needs, discussing performance ratings and care.
Commitment to Sustainable Practices
We believe in extending the life of furniture instead of adding to landfill waste. Reupholstery is an environmentally responsible choice: it reduces waste, conserves resources, and preserves connection to meaningful pieces. When possible, we reuse sound frames and components, recommend recyclable or low-impact materials, and employ responsible disposal practices for irreparable parts.
Design Collaboration and Custom Work
Custom upholstery options include frame modifications, specialized padding for ergonomics, and bespoke details like nail trim, custom tufting, and tailored piping.
Quality Assurance and Guarantees
We stand behind our work. All projects include a workmanship warranty covering labor for an agreed-upon period. Our approach to quality assurance includes:
Pre-work photographs and documentation
In-shop checks during critical phases
Final inspection for fit, finish, and comfort
If an issue arises post-delivery, we address it promptly and professionally.
