- How did you get started doing this type of work?
✨ How I Got Started in Upholstery ✨ My journey in upholstery is deeply rooted in my family’s legacy, shaped by generations of craftsmanship and a passion for excellence. Growing up, my father—an experienced upholsterer and business owner—introduced me to the art of upholstery, instilling in me the skills, work ethic, and dedication that define my business today. 🛠️ A Family Tradition of Craftsmanship Upholstery has been a part of my family for generations. My father’s shop was more than just a workplace—it was a learning ground where I absorbed the fundamentals of upholstery from an early age. Watching skilled artisans transform worn furniture into beautifully restored pieces sparked my appreciation for the craft and set the foundation for my career. 🎓 Hands-On Training & Apprenticeship My journey began with an apprenticeship under my father, where I learned the intricacies of upholstery first-hand. From fabric selection and pattern cutting to stitching, refinishing, and precision craftsmanship, I gained extensive hands-on experience that allowed me to master the trade. 📊 Mastering the Business Side Beyond the workshop, I played an essential role in managing our family business. I handled customer interactions, project scheduling, and daily operations, gaining valuable insight into what it takes to run a successful upholstery company. This experience gave me a well-rounded understanding of both the technical and business aspects of the industry. ❤️ A Passion That Became a Profession What sets my journey apart is that I didn't just learn upholstery—I lived it. Working side by side with skilled craftsmen and directly engaging with clients shaped my approach to running The Heritage Restoration. Today, I carry forward the same commitment to exceptional craftsmanship, attention to detail, and outstanding customer service that I learned from my family’s legacy. 🪑 Upholstery isn’t just my business—it’s my passion and lifelong commitment. Every piece I restore tells a story, and I take pride in bringing that story back to life through expert craftsmanship and personalized service. 💬 Let’s bring your furniture back to life!
