Est. Archdale, North Carolina
From cherished heirlooms to worn-out favorites, we restore the beauty, comfort, and character of your pieces with time-honored craftsmanship that modern factories can't replicate.
What We Do
Every piece that enters our shop receives the attention it deserves — from delicate antique refinishing to full structural reconstruction.
Complete fabric replacement for chairs, sofas, dining seats, and more. We work with your choice of material or help you select from our curated fabric library.
Sensitive restoration of heirloom and period pieces. We preserve original character while reinforcing structure and renewing surfaces with historically appropriate techniques.
Structural repairs that extend the life of your furniture. We fix broken frames, replace broken springs, and reinforce joints to restore stability and comfort.
Sagging cushions restored to their original firmness. We offer a range of foam densities and materials to match your preferred level of comfort.
Window seats, banquette benches, and built-in seating upholstered to fit your space perfectly. We measure, design, and install for a seamless finish.
Professional leather treatment including crack repair, color matching, and deep conditioning. We breathe new life into dried, cracked, or faded leather pieces.
Our Story
Trotter's Upholstery has been a cornerstone of Archdale's home restoration community for decades. What began as a one-person operation in a small workshop has grown into a trusted local business known for treating every piece — from a modest dining chair to a grand antique settee — with the same devotion to detail.
We believe that the best furniture isn't the newest — it's the piece with history, the one that fits your space and your life. Our mission is simple: to honor that history by restoring your furniture to its former glory, or better.

Client Stories
"My grandmother's dining chairs looked beyond saving, but Trotter's brought them back to life. The new fabric is beautiful, and you'd never know they'd been through so much. Truly remarkable work."

"I was about to replace my living room sofa entirely. After getting it reupholstered by Trotter's, it looks and feels brand new — and I saved a fraction of the cost. Highly recommend to anyone on the fence."
