Premium Upholstery Services in Monmouth County
Full-service upholstery shop serving the Jersey Shore. Residential furniture, marine, leather, commercial, and outdoor, all crafted by hand in our local studio.
Every Kind of
Upholstery, One Shop
Finding a good upholstery shop near you can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. Most shops specialize in one thing (maybe furniture, maybe boats) and send you somewhere else for everything else. At Coastal Craft Upholstery, we handle it all under one roof, right here in Monmouth County, NJ.
We built this shop to be the kind of place we'd want to bring our own stuff. Somewhere that actually cares about doing things right, uses quality materials, and treats your grandmother's armchair with the same attention as a brand-new center console. That's what you get here.
Our upholstery services cover the full range: residential furniture reupholstery, marine and boat upholstery, leather repair and restoration, commercial seating, outdoor cushions, and specialty work like antique restoration. We source fabrics from the best mills in the country, cut our own foam, and sew everything in-house. No middlemen, no outsourcing, no shortcuts.
We've been doing this for over a decade, working with homeowners, boat owners, restaurants, offices, and interior designers across the Jersey Shore. If it has fabric, vinyl, or leather on it, we can probably make it look brand new, or better than new.
Not sure what you need? That's fine. Give us a call, send some photos, or stop by the studio. We'll walk you through your options, show you fabric samples, and give you an honest quote. No pressure, no sales pitch. Just real advice from people who love this work.

Breathe New Life Into Your Furniture
That sofa you've had for fifteen years? The one that's perfectly broken in but the fabric is shot? You don't need to replace it. You need to reupholster it. Reupholstery near you doesn't have to mean settling for whatever a big-box store offers. At Coastal Craft, we strip your piece down to the frame, rebuild it with fresh padding and springs, and wrap it in fabric you actually pick out yourself.
Sofas & Sectionals
A good sofa frame can last 50 years or more. The fabric and cushions? Maybe 10 if you're lucky, less if you have kids or pets. Reupholstering your sofa gives you a piece that feels brand new but fits your space the way only your furniture can. We work with every style: modern low-profiles, traditional rolled arms, tufted Chesterfields, L-shaped sectionals, sleeper sofas, and everything in between. We'll replace the foam, fix any springs, and tighten the frame before we even start on the fabric.
Dining & Accent Chairs
Dining chairs take a beating. Spills, scuffs, daily wear from the whole family. We reupholster dining chair seats and full chairs in performance fabrics that look great and clean up easy. Same goes for accent chairs, armchairs, wingbacks, and club chairs. If you've got a set of six dining chairs that need new seats, we can turn those around fast and match them perfectly.
Recliners & Ottomans
Recliners are one of the most common pieces we see. The mechanism still works fine, but the leather is cracking or the fabric is worn through on the arms and headrest. We can reupholster your recliner in leather, vinyl, or fabric, and we work around the mechanism so everything still functions properly. Ottomans, footstools, and poufs are quick projects that make a big visual impact.
Slipcovers & Custom Cushions
Not everything needs a full reupholster. Sometimes a custom slipcover is the right call, especially for seasonal pieces or homes with young kids. We sew custom-fitted slipcovers that actually look tailored, not like a bedsheet draped over a couch. We also make custom cushions for bay windows, breakfast nooks, reading nooks, and built-in benches.
The Fabric Makes the Difference
We carry over 1,000 fabric and leather samples in our studio, from casual linens and cotton blends to performance fabrics like Crypton and Sunbrella that resist stains, moisture, and fading. If you want leather, we source full-grain Italian hides in dozens of colors. We'll bring samples to your home so you can see how they look in your actual lighting. That matters more than most people realize.
Get a Free Furniture Estimate Built for the Jersey Shore
Living on the Jersey Shore means your boat takes a beating. Between the salt spray, UV exposure, and humidity, standard fabrics don't stand a chance. Marine upholstery requires materials and construction methods that are built specifically for life on the water, and that's exactly what we do.
Boat Seats & Helm Chairs
Cracked, faded boat seats are the number one thing boat owners call us about. We strip the old vinyl, replace the foam with closed-cell marine-grade foam that won't absorb water, and cover it in UV-resistant marine vinyl that's rated for years of direct sun exposure. We match colors to your boat's gel coat and add custom stitching details that set your vessel apart.
Cabin Interiors & Cushions
If you're spending weekends aboard (or live-aboarding in Belmar, Manasquan, or Atlantic Highlands), your cabin cushions need to be comfortable and mold-resistant. We build cabin berth cushions, dinette cushions, and V-berth pads with mold-inhibiting foam and fabrics that breathe to prevent moisture buildup. Everything is cut to templates for a perfect fit.
Boat Covers & Enclosures
A custom boat cover protects your investment better than any off-the-shelf option. We fabricate covers, T-top curtains, bimini tops, and cockpit enclosures using Sunbrella marine canvas with YKK zippers and UV-resistant thread. Every cover is measured on your boat for a precise fit. No flapping, no pooling, no guesswork.
Jet Ski & PWC Seats
Jet ski seats take some of the hardest use of any marine upholstery. We recover PWC seats in marine vinyl that handles constant water exposure, sun, and the physical stress of riding. Quick turnaround so you're back on the water fast.
We serve boat owners across Monmouth County, from marinas in Sandy Hook and Atlantic Highlands to Shark River in Belmar and the Manasquan Inlet. If your boat is in the water along the Jersey Shore, we can get to it.
Get a Free Marine EstimateLeather Repair That Actually Lasts
Leather furniture, jackets, bags, and car interiors develop character over time, but there's a line between "patina" and "falling apart." Our leather repair and restoration work brings damaged pieces back without making them look fake or plastic. We match colors, repair tears, restore dried-out hides, and protect everything with professional conditioners that extend the life of your leather for years.
Leather Repair & Restoration
Cracks, peeling, scuffs, and discoloration are all fixable. We use professional-grade leather dyes and fillers that bond with the hide, not paint that sits on top and flakes off in six months. For deeper damage like tears or punctures, we patch from underneath and blend the repair so it disappears. We've restored couches, recliners, dining chairs, and executive office chairs that owners were ready to throw away.
Vinyl Repair
Vinyl gets a bad reputation, but modern marine and furniture vinyl is tough, easy to clean, and holds up in high-traffic situations. When it does get damaged (rips, burns, color fading), we repair it using heat-bonding techniques and color-matched vinyl compounds. Restaurant booths, boat seats, and medical exam chairs are our most common vinyl repair jobs.
Fabric Protection & Pet-Proof Options
If you've got dogs, cats, or toddlers at home, you already know the struggle. We offer upholstery in Crypton performance fabrics that are engineered to resist moisture, stains, and odor at the fiber level, not just a topical coating. These fabrics look and feel like regular upholstery but can handle whatever your household throws at them. We also apply Scotchgard and other protective treatments to existing upholstery for an extra layer of defense.
Antique & Heirloom Restoration
Old furniture tells a story, and we believe in preserving that story while making it functional again. We work with antique dealers, estate sale buyers, and families who've inherited pieces they want to keep in the family. Our approach respects the original construction (hand-tied springs, horsehair padding, tack strips) while updating the fabric and foam to modern comfort standards. We can match period-appropriate fabrics or go in a completely new direction. Your call.
Get a Free Leather Repair Estimate Keep Your Business Looking Sharp
Your customers notice worn-out seating, even if they don't say anything. Faded restaurant booths, cracked office chairs, and tired waiting room furniture all send a message about your business. Reupholstering your commercial seating costs a fraction of replacing it and gives your space an instant refresh.
Restaurant & Bar Seating
Restaurant booths, banquettes, bar stools, and dining chairs are built to take heavy use, but the upholstery wears out long before the frames do. We work with restaurants, diners, and bars across Monmouth County to reupholster seating in commercial-grade vinyl and fabric that meets health codes and cleans up fast. We schedule work around your hours so there's minimal disruption. Most booth jobs can be done overnight or during your closed days.
Office & Waiting Room Furniture
Executive chairs, conference room seating, lobby furniture, and waiting room chairs all benefit from reupholstery. We work with offices, law firms, medical practices, and dental offices to refresh seating in professional fabrics that project the right image. For healthcare settings, we use antimicrobial vinyls that meet infection control standards.
Specialty Commercial
Salon chairs, barber chairs, church pews, theater seats, hotel headboards. We've done them all. If your business has seating that needs new upholstery, we can handle it. We offer volume pricing for large projects and can match existing pieces for a consistent look across your entire space.
Get a Free Commercial EstimateOutdoor Furniture That Survives the Shore
Outdoor furniture along the Jersey Shore faces a unique combination of challenges: intense summer sun, salt air, sudden rainstorms, and humidity that doesn't quit. Standard indoor fabrics fall apart in a single season out here. That's why every outdoor project we touch uses materials specifically engineered for exterior use.
Patio Cushions & Chaise Lounges
We make custom patio cushions in any size, shape, and thickness. Rectangular, round, L-shaped, with or without ties, whatever your furniture needs. All outdoor cushions use Sunbrella or equivalent solution-dyed acrylic fabric that resists fading, mildew, and water damage. The foam inside is quick-dry outdoor foam that drains and dries after rain instead of turning into a soggy sponge.
Pool Furniture & Cabana Seating
Pool chairs, loungers, and cabana seating deal with chlorine, sunscreen, and constant moisture. We use fabrics and foams rated for pool environments that won't break down from chemical exposure. Custom colors and patterns let you match your pool area's aesthetic perfectly.
Outdoor Sectionals & Deep Seating
Those expensive outdoor sectionals from Restoration Hardware, Pottery Barn, or Frontgate? The cushions wear out way before the frames do. Instead of paying $2,000+ for replacement cushion sets from the manufacturer, bring them to us. We'll rebuild them with better foam and Sunbrella fabric for a fraction of the price. Your neighbors won't believe it's not factory.
Boat-to-Patio Matching
A lot of our customers in shore towns like Sea Girt, Spring Lake, and Manasquan want their dock furniture, patio cushions, and boat upholstery to coordinate. We can match fabrics across all your outdoor spaces for a cohesive look from the backyard to the boat slip.

The Best Materials Make the Best Results
We're obsessive about the materials we use. Here's what goes into every project.
Sunbrella Fabrics
Industry standard for outdoor and marine. Solution-dyed acrylic that resists fading, mildew, and water. 10-year warranty.
Crypton Performance
Stain, moisture, and odor resistant at the fiber level. Perfect for homes with kids, pets, or heavy daily use.
Italian Leathers
Full-grain, top-grain, and semi-aniline hides sourced from Italian tanneries. Rich color, natural feel, decades of life.
Marine Vinyl
UV-resistant, salt-air proof, and mold-inhibiting. Built to handle years of direct sun and spray on the water.
High-Density Foam
We cut our own foam in-house. Indoor pieces get HR foam rated at 2.5+ density. Outdoor and marine get closed-cell foam that won't absorb water.
Performance Velvets
Modern velvets that look luxurious but clean with a damp cloth. Thousands of double-rub ratings for commercial durability.
The fabric or material you choose is the single biggest factor in how long your upholstery lasts and how good it looks over time. That's why we spend so much time on material selection with every customer. We don't just show you what's in stock. We educate you on what makes sense for your specific situation.
A family with three dogs needs something different than a formal living room that only gets used on holidays. A center console boat docked in Shark River needs different vinyl than a sailboat stored in a covered slip. A restaurant booth in Red Bank sees different wear than a home office chair in Holmdel. We get that, and we'll steer you toward materials that match your reality.
We also carry eco-friendly and recycled-content fabrics for customers who care about sustainability. Several of our Sunbrella and Crypton options are made with recycled content, and we recycle scrap materials whenever possible. Good materials don't have to come at the planet's expense.
Every fabric sample we show you is something we'd put in our own homes or on our own boats. We don't carry cheap stuff. It's not worth your time or ours. When you invest in quality upholstery, it should last. Period.
Why Choose Our Upholstery Shop
We're not the only upholstery shop in New Jersey. But we think we're the best one near you. Here's why.
Locally Owned & Operated
We live here, work here, and raise our families here. When you support Coastal Craft, you're supporting a real Monmouth County business, not a franchise or chain.
10+ Years Experience
Over a decade of upholstery work across residential, marine, commercial, and specialty projects. We've seen it all and fixed it all.
Premium Materials Only
Sunbrella, Crypton, Italian leathers, marine-grade vinyl. We don't cut corners on materials because cheap fabric means short-lived results.
Pickup & Delivery
We'll pick up your furniture and deliver it back when it's done. Across all of Monmouth County, no extra charge for most local jobs.
Fully Insured
Your furniture is covered from the moment we pick it up until it's back in your home. Full liability and property coverage on every project.
Satisfaction Guaranteed
We stand behind every stitch. If something isn't right, we'll make it right. That's not a policy. It's just how we do things.
Honest Pricing, No Surprises
Every upholstery project is different, which is why we don't publish generic pricing on our website. A dining chair seat pad is a completely different job than reupholstering a three-cushion sofa or rebuilding an entire boat interior. Cookie-cutter prices would either overcharge you on simple jobs or underestimate complex ones.
Here's what we can tell you: we always provide a free, detailed estimate before any work begins. We'll look at your piece (in person or from photos), discuss your fabric preferences, and give you a written quote that covers everything: labor, materials, foam, delivery. No hidden fees, no surprises when you pick up.
Reupholstery typically costs 50-70% less than buying new furniture of comparable quality. And you get to keep the piece you already love, with the exact fabric, foam density, and details you want. That's value you can't get at a furniture store.
Size of the Piece
A club chair vs. a 4-seat sectional
Fabric Choice
Cotton blend vs. Italian leather
Complexity
Simple seat pad vs. tufted back with buttons
Condition
Good frame vs. needs structural repair
