About Us

Upholstery Shop Waite Park MN

SouthPaw Upholstery began as a movement towards self-employment, driven by ambition, and guided by craftsmanship, unmatched hard work, quality, and attention to detail.

In 2019, Kevin Fleischman decided to branch off from his parents’ franchise in pursuit of his dream of entrepreneurship – building a business that specialized in total upholstery repair. Everything started in his garage, but with leads and opportunities plentiful in a larger market, Kevin expanded to a second location in Waite Park, MN.

SouthPaw now services clients all over the Greater Minneapolis region with countless jobs completed for automotive, marine, and commercial upholstery projects, and many happy customers!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    We do offer pick up and delivery typically up to 100 miles of our shop but we charge mileage and travel time. We can tow boats or pick up large commercial jobs, such as restaurant seating or boat interiors with our enclosed trailer & trucks. We also have a mobile shop we work out of to bring the sewing machine right on site for commercial jobs that don’t want to go without seating. We can do all of the work right in their parking lot.

    We carry a large variety of materials, from fabrics to vinyls and leathers. There is a large selection of sample books in our shop on display for customers to look at, but we also contract with Charlotte Fabrics, who have a very user-friendly website for customers to browse material options and request free samples shipped to their home. Customers can only order through us because we are a wholesale rep for them, though we do run occasional promotions offering a discount on materials.
    Timing for completion varies by each job, but we can do most seat repairs in one day. A big pontoon job where we replace all of the seats, or an entire car upholstery job will typically take 2-4 weeks, though we try not to allow our lead time to be more than one month. We get a lot of our biggest competitors’ business because they are 3-4 months out at times.
    We do offer redying and leather/vinyl repair service. Oftentimes, boats or car interiors fade which make it impossible to match color. Fortunately, we have the ability to hand mix dye to make it match to any color in the rainbow. We do many repairs on seats for dealers that don’t want to spend the money to replace the material and just need a quick fix. Additionally, we can re-dye a door panel to match the new seats we make if their budget doesn’t allow it to be recovered. A lot of animals damage nice leather sofas and we can re-dye it to make it look like new again.

    We accept all forms of payments, cash or check are preferred, but we can run cards through our quickbooks software securely. We do charge a 4% transaction fee for all card payments run through our system.

    We offer all forms of custom upholstery, from redesigning the seats from the foam to the cover. We can add any type of decorative stitching or piping along with digitally stitched panels for really intricate designs. The most common requests are diamond and hexagon stitching lately. If we can draw it or print a design on paper, we can put it on a seat.

    We don’t work on much modern furniture as most newer furniture is cheaper to replace. I convert about 1 job per 20 inquiries because the customer can almost always buy new for cheaper. However, we do work with 2 higher end furniture stores that send us work which we are happy to do. The majority of the furniture we do are simple kitchen chairs that they want new fabric on or redying high end leather that’s 10 plus years old and a little worn.

    We are located at 428 4th Avenue NE Waite Park, MN 56387, right outside of St Cloud in Central Minnesota. Our shop is a privately owned  commercial building with 2 overhead doors and 2400 square feet of shop space with its own parking lot.
