Bar seating that opens again tomorrow
Stools, banquettes and booth corners, re-covered or repaired between close and open. The room is ready for service the next night.
You cannot lose a Friday
Bar upholstery fails on a schedule you can set your watch by, and always in the same four places. The job itself is not hard. The constraint is that the room has to trade tomorrow night, so everything is organised around that.
We work your closed hours, price the run rather than the seat, and finish with a sealer that is dry before the doors open. Nothing is tented off, nothing is out of service on a Friday.
Most of the bar upholstery we do in New Jersey is a run of stools or a single banquette wall, not a whole room. Rooms get done in stages, a wall at a time, so the bar never closes for it.
Four failures, in order
Stool seat fronts
Shoes on the footring, weight on the front edge. Worn through long before the rest.
Banquette hip line
Wear where people pivot to slide in, not where they sit. One strip down a whole run.
Booth outside corners
Stitching opens where people lean to get out. The seam fails before the vinyl does.
Foam under the cover
Once the edge roll collapses, a new cover alone will not hold its shape.
If the cover is sound and only the finish has gone, it is scuff or crack repair, not reupholstery — and a quarter of the cost.
Close at two, open at four
Stool seats come off at the plate and go back on the same bases, so nothing is lost and nothing is mismatched. Banquette panels are templated in the room, which is the only way a built-in run keeps its shape.
Twelve stools is one night. A thirty-foot banquette run is two. Nothing leaves the building unless you want it to, and the room is walkable the whole time.
What survives a full night of service
The default behind a bar. Wipes clean, takes alcohol and citrus, rated for the rub counts hospitality needs.
For front-of-house where the room is the selling point. Needs sealing more often, looks like nothing else.
Lounge and booth backs that do not take spills directly. Softer room, same cleanability.
Domestic-weight material in a trading room. It will fail inside a year and you will pay twice.
Match first, replace second. Re-covering four stools to sit beside twenty that have aged three years is a colour problem before it is an upholstery one.
Bars, lounges, clubs and hotel bars
Same room, next service
Three levels, three prices
Finish only
Scuffs, colour loss, surface cracking. Cleaned, recoloured, sealed. Cheapest and fastest.
Panel repair
A torn seat, an open seam, a burn. One panel worked, the rest untouched.
Re-cover
New cover, new foam where needed. Right when the frame is sound and the cover is finished.
Matched set
Everything brought to one colour and one sheen, so no seat stands out as the new one.
What a run costs
Priced per seat, with the run price falling as the count rises — one visit covers twelve stools as easily as three.
Three things move it: whether it is finish work or a new cover, whether foam has to be rebuilt under it, and whether the new seats have to match older ones already in the room.
Against replacement it is not close. A recovered stool costs a fraction of a new one and keeps the base you already chose. Bar upholstery in New Jersey is almost always the cheaper half of that comparison.
No deposit, and no charge to look. Photograph the worst seat, count the rest, and the quote comes back with a per-seat and a run number.
Across New Jersey, overnight
Hoboken and Jersey City through to Asbury Park and Red Bank, and the whole corporate corridor between.
Before you book
Can you work after close?
Yes, and most of this work is. Overnight or before open, finished for service.
How many stools in one night?
About twelve seat pads. A thirty-foot banquette run is two nights.
Do the stools leave the building?
Only if you want them to. Seat pads come off at the plate and go back on the same bases.
Can you match the seats we did two years ago?
Yes. Colour is mixed against the aged seats, not the sample book.
Repair or re-cover?
If the cover is intact and only the finish has gone, repair — about a quarter of the cost. Send photos and we will tell you which.
Do you carry insurance and issue a COI?
Yes, issued before the visit, naming whoever the landlord needs named.
How do we get a price?
Photograph your worst seat and count the rest. We price the run from that.
We will price the whole run
One photo and a count is enough. You get a per-seat price, a run price, and a night that suits you.
