Heirloom, Antique & Custom Chair Reupholstery for San Antonio Homes
San Antonio is a city of furniture worth keeping — the Spanish Colonial side chair handed down through the family, the Mission-style oak dining chair, the wing chair from a King William or Monte Vista estate. Weathersby Guild reupholsters these chairs and seats from our Marbach Lane workshop, rebuilding them the right way so the furniture your family treasures looks new again and lasts another generation.
We specialize in chairs, seats, and small upholstered pieces — not full sofas or sectionals. For larger pieces, we're glad to refer you to a dedicated sofa workroom. Whether a dining chair seat has been bleached pale by South Texas sun, an accent chair has gone threadbare from decades of use, or an inherited antique chair needs a complete seat rebuild, we strip every piece to the frame, repair what we find, and tailor new fabric on-piece. Free pickup and delivery across the San Antonio metro means your furniture never has to leave home in your hands.
Every chair reupholstery starts with a complete strip down to the bare frame, so we can see what most shops never look at. Loose chair joints get re-glued, broken rails and legs repaired, and webbing renewed wherever the frame has weakened — at no extra charge. On the antique and heirloom chairs common in San Antonio's older neighborhoods, that hidden structural work is often what saves the piece.
The seat is what makes a chair sit right for decades. We renew webbing, foam, and Dacron so a sagging seat is firm again, and we repair worn or torn leather on Spanish Colonial and Mission-style chairs. Loose and broken frames, legs, rails, and chair joints are addressed before anything is covered back up. This is the bones of the piece, and we rebuild it properly.
Fabric is cut, fit, and stitched directly on your chair frame — not pre-sewn from a generic pattern. Welts, seat covers, and cushion covers are all custom-tailored to your specific piece. Bring your own material (COM) — including fade-resistant performance weaves built for San Antonio sun — and we handle inspection, yardage, and the rest.
Send photos or visit our Marbach Lane workshop, and we will assess the frame, seat, and fabric needs and quote your chair individually — every written estimate is free. Bring your own material (COM) and we will confirm yardage. For sun-faded pieces, we will steer you toward fade-resistant performance fabrics built for South Texas windows.
Once you approve the estimate, we collect your chairs from anywhere in the San Antonio metro at no charge — and deliver them back the same way. You never have to wrestle furniture into a truck. We handle transport so the pieces arrive at the workshop ready to rebuild.
Every chair is stripped completely — old fabric, padding, and webbing all removed — so we can inspect the frame and seat. Loose joints are re-glued, broken rails and legs repaired, and webbing renewed where the frame has weakened. On antiques, we assess the original construction before deciding what to preserve and what to rebuild.
Webbing and seat support are renewed, and high-density foam cores are cut and wrapped in fresh Dacron, with the cushion feel matched to the original — firmer or softer on request — so the chair sits the way you remember it. Worn or torn leather seats are repaired where the piece calls for it.
Your fabric is cut, fit, and stitched directly on the chair frame — welts, seat covers, and cushion covers all custom-tailored. After a final inspection, we deliver the finished piece back to your San Antonio home, free of charge, looking new again and built to last another generation.
Every job is quoted individually after we see the piece and your fabric, but these ranges give San Antonio clients a realistic starting point for chairs and small upholstered pieces.
We specialize in chairs, seats, and small upholstered pieces — not full sofas or sectionals. For larger pieces, we're glad to refer you to a dedicated sofa workroom. Day to day that means dining chair seats, dining chairs, accent and side chairs, wing chairs, ottomans, and benches — plus leather repair and upholstery repairs like torn seams, sagging seats, loose or broken frames, legs, rails, chair joints, and webbing. Call (210) 251-3019 or email mark@weathersbyguild.com and we will tell you whether your piece is a fit.
If the chair has a solid hardwood frame — common in the Victorian-era and Spanish Colonial pieces found throughout King William, Monte Vista, and Alamo Heights — reupholstery almost always wins. We strip the seat and chair to the frame, inspect and repair the joints, and renew the foam and webbing, so you keep construction quality you cannot buy at retail today. Sentimental and antique chairs are worth keeping. For an honest recommendation on your specific piece, call (210) 251-3019 or email mark@weathersbyguild.com and we will tell you whether reupholstery makes sense.
Yes. Customer's Own Material (COM) is always welcome — have your fabric shipped to our Marbach Lane workshop and we will inspect it, calculate yardage, and pattern-match before cutting. We will help you think through a fabric that holds up to San Antonio's intense sun so it does not fade the way the original did. We also handle leather repair if your chair has worn or torn leather seats.
Estimates are free and written. Send us photos of the chair — front, back, and seat — or bring it by the workshop, and we will assess the frame, seat, and fabric needs. Cost depends on the piece and the fabric you choose, so we quote every job individually rather than over the phone with a one-size-fits-all number. As a rough guide, dining chair seats run $80–$150, dining chairs $200–$400, ottomans and benches $300–$700, and accent or wing chairs $700–$1,200. Call (210) 251-3019 or email mark@weathersbyguild.com to get started, and we will arrange free pickup anywhere in the San Antonio metro.
