Artistic Upholstery
Reupholstery and furniture repair from a Lafayette Street workshop in Santa Clara.
Acerca de
Reupholstery is one of the older trades still working out of Santa Clara's light-industrial blocks, and Artistic Upholstery is one of the shops doing it, from a workshop on Lafayette Street north of the Caltrain tracks. Juan Olbera is listed as the owner. These details rest on public records and directory entries rather than on the shop's own account, which is still to come.
Typical jobs
- Stripping and recovering sofas, armchairs and dining seats in new fabric or leather
- Replacing worn foam, springs and webbing so a sagging cushion sits firm again
- Repairing loose frames, broken legs and split joints on wooden furniture
- Building custom headboards, ottomans and bench cushions to a customer's measurements
- Recovering restaurant booths and office seating for Santa Clara County businesses
A shop of this kind usually works from fabric sample books but will also sew customer-supplied material, and most can match or replace piping, buttons and tufting on older pieces. Antique restoration and marine or automotive upholstery are separate specialties, so ask rather than assume.
Planning your project
Take clear photos of the piece from the front, side and underneath, and note any damage to the frame, before you call. Ask for a written estimate that separates labor from fabric, states the yardage needed, and says whether pickup and delivery are included for Santa Clara addresses. Reupholstery work often takes two to four weeks once the fabric arrives, longer for a full frame rebuild, so ask for a date and whether a deposit is required. It is also worth asking what the shop does about pet damage or sun-faded wood before you commit.
Where customers come from
Beyond Santa Clara itself, the workshop serves San Jose, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Milpitas, Campbell, Mountain View and Los Altos. Lafayette Street sits between the Alviso and Santa Clara Caltrain stations, a few blocks off Highway 101 and easy to reach with a truck.
Call 408-727-8541 to describe your piece. The chamber will hand this page to the owner to correct once they get in touch.

Preguntas frecuentes
Típico de este tipo de negocioIs reupholstering cheaper than buying new furniture?
For a well-built frame, often yes once you count fabric, labor and delivery, and the result usually outlasts a budget replacement. For a low-cost frame it may not be. Ask the shop for a labor quote and yardage so you can compare fairly.
How much fabric will my sofa need?
A standard three-seat sofa commonly takes fourteen to eighteen yards, an armchair six to eight, but patterns, skirts and cushions add yardage. Ask the shop to confirm the figure before you buy fabric elsewhere, since shortfalls delay the job.
Can I supply my own fabric?
Most upholstery shops accept customer-supplied fabric as long as it is upholstery weight and the quantity is right. Ask whether the labor price changes and whether the shop takes responsibility for flaws in material it did not sell.
How long does reupholstery take?
Simple seat recovers can be done in days; a full sofa usually takes two to four weeks after the fabric arrives, and frame rebuilds longer. Ask for a completion date in writing and whether the shop offers pickup and delivery.
Antes de contratar
- Get a written estimate that separates labor, fabric and delivery, and states the yardage.
- Ask whether the shop replaces foam and springs as part of the job or only the fabric.
- Send photos of the frame and any damage before agreeing on a price.
- Confirm the turnaround date, the deposit required and how the balance is paid.
- Ask to see a finished piece or samples of the shop's tufting and piping work.
