Our process

A straightforward approach helps clients understand scope, materials, and timing before work begins.

01

Assess the project

We review the seating, cushions, panels, or trim that need repair, rebuilding, or replacement.

02

Choose materials

Select fabrics, vinyls, or marine-grade options based on style, durability, and intended use.

Serving San Diego County since 1956, Sickel’s Upholstery brings decades of hands-on craftsmanship to specialty upholstery projects.

03

Craft with care

Patterns are cut, foam is adjusted as needed, and each piece is upholstered for fit, comfort, and longevity.

04

Finish and review

Completed work is checked for clean lines, secure installation, and an updated finished look.

Can you match an existing interior style?

We work to find materials and finishes that complement the existing look while improving durability and comfort.
