Business Overview:
This is a well-established custom upholstery and window treatment company with a showroom and workroom. It serves affluent homeowners, second-home owners and commercial clients from Charleston to Savannah, including Hilton Head, Bluffton and Beaufort. The business designs, makes and installs custom upholstery, draperies, cornices, valances, Roman shades, cushions (including Sunbrella indoor and outdoor), bedding, headboards and slipcovers. It also offers free design consultations, in-home estimates, and pickup and delivery.
Revenue grew 18% from 2023 to 2025, and SDE margins have held near 40% for three straight years. Pre-tax net earnings nearly doubled over the same period. Work is spread across many residential jobs, so there is no customer concentration. A large in-stock inventory of 289 fabric rolls, plus hundreds of sample books from premium designer mills, gives the company an edge over competitors who sell only from samples. Online reviews are 5-star, and nearly all business comes from referrals, repeat customers and interior designers.
The showroom is open only 25 hours a week, and there is no paid advertising, so a new owner has clear room to grow. Options include extending hours, active digital marketing, a formal designer and builder trade program, hospitality and vacation-rental refurbishment, marine and outdoor cushions, and motorized shades.

Market Competition and Expansion:
Competition comes from a handful of small independent upholstery and drapery workrooms in the Beaufort–Bluffton–Savannah area, from interior designers who subcontract workroom labor, and from retail and online ready-made furniture and window treatments.
The company competes on:
▪ Experience and quality — decades of trade experience and formal training in both upholstery and window treatments.
▪ Breadth — one shop handles upholstery, draperies, cushions, bedding and slipcovers, so customers and designers need only one vendor.
▪ Selection on hand — about 275 rolls of in-stock fabric lets customers choose and start immediately, while most competitors work only from sample books.
▪ Service — free design help, free pick-up and delivery, and fair estimates.
Skilled upholsterers are scarce and the trade has few new entrants, which tends to protect established shops with a trained workforce and reputation.
