Common Questions About Our Process

  • How do I get started with a custom upholstery project?

    Getting started is simple and personalized. The first step is to contact us by phone or email to schedule a consultation. During this initial conversation, we'll discuss your goals, preferred style, and the specific pieces you'd like to transform. You can share photos of your furniture, and if appropriate, we'll coordinate the best way to evaluate the piece. We'll review fabric options, help you select materials that complement your space and lifestyle, and provide a clear overview of pricing, timeline, and logistics.


    Whether you're reupholstering a favorite chair or outfitting an entire room, we tailor our process to fit your needs, making each step seamless. From the initial concept to the final installation, our goal is to guide you through every detail with clarity, confidence, and an eye for the Hamptons aesthetic.

  • Do you offer help selecting fabrics?

    Yes, fabric selection is one of the most important—and enjoyable—parts of the process, and we’re here to help you navigate it with ease. Our curated library features a wide range of high-quality textiles suited for all types of upholstery, slipcovers, pillows. Whether you're aiming for light neutrals, coastal textures, or a vibrant pop of color, we’ll guide you through the options that best reflect your style preferences and practical needs. During your consultation, we’ll discuss the function of the piece, your home’s aesthetic, and how the fabric will interact with daily use, including considerations like durability, cleanability, and sun exposure. We also advise on layering, coordinating textures, and creating the subtle, elegant palette associated with the Hamptons look. For clients bringing their own fabrics, we’ll review them for fit, quality, and compatibility with the project. The result is a custom match you’ll love living with.

  • Can I bring in furniture for evaluation?

    To help us assess your project, please send clear photos of the furniture along with measurements and a brief description of the work needed (such as repairs, reupholstery, or foam replacement). We'll review the information and advise on the next steps.

  • Do you work with interior professionals?

    Absolutely. We regularly collaborate with homeowners, decorators, stylists, and trade professionals on both residential and commercial projects throughout the Hamptons area. Our experience working alongside industry professionals allows us to seamlessly support a wide range of upholstery and soft goods projects. We’re happy to assist with fabric sourcing, sample provision, and project coordination. We also welcome trade professionals into our Sag Harbor shop to explore materials and discuss construction details. Whether you're selecting slipcovers for a summer home, matching fabrics across a multi-room renovation, or refining the finish of a single piece, we bring technical precision and craftsmanship to every collaboration. Our shared goal is to exceed expectations by delivering bespoke pieces that complement each space beautifully. For inquiries about trade pricing or ongoing partnerships, please contact us directly to learn more.

  • What if I need something quickly?

    We understand that some projects are time-sensitive—whether you’re preparing for guests, staging a home, or getting ready for a holiday or event. While most custom upholstery and soft furnishings projects follow a detailed timeline, we strive to accommodate faster turnarounds whenever possible. During your consultation, let us know your ideal timeline so we can assess the scope and determine if expedited service is feasible. We’ll be upfront about lead times, which are based on fabric availability, workload, and the complexity of the project. Some smaller or more straightforward items—like cushions or slipcovers—may be completed more quickly than full reupholstery. If needed, we may suggest fabric options that are in stock or easier to source on short notice. Our priority is to balance speed with quality and craftsmanship. We never rush work at the expense of results, but we’re always happy to help when time is of the essence.
