About Us
Upholstery Shop in 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 opened his official upholstery shop in Waite Park, MN.
SouthPaw now services clients all over the region with countless jobs completed for automotive, marine, and commercial upholstery projects, and many happy customers!

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer pick up and Delivery?
We do offer pick up and delivery typically up to 100 miles of our shop for an additional charge. 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.
What kind of materials and fabrics do you work with?
How long will my project take?
Timing for completion varies by each job, but we can do most seat repairs in one day. A large pontoon interior replacement or vehicle upholstery replacement job will typically take 2-4 weeks, though we try not to allow our turnaround time to be more than one month.
Do you offer color matching or dyeing?
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 dealerships to avoid having to replace the material as a cost-effective alternative. Additionally, we can re-dye door panels and dashboards to match new interiors. We also provide re-dying of leather sofas that have been damaged by pets.
What kind of payments do you accept?
We accept all forms of payments. Cash or check are preferred, but we also accept major credit cards for a 4% processing fee.
Do you offer custom upholstery?
Yes, we offer all forms of custom upholstery, from a full redesign of the seats, to boosting support with more foam, to simply remaking the cover. We can add any type of decorative stitching or piping along with digitally stitched panels for really intricate designs. If we can draw it or print a design on paper, we can put it on a seat.
Do you offer furniture reupholstery?
We do not provide upholstery services on modern furniture as most customers find that their newer furniture is more cost effective to simply replace. The type of furniture we reupholster kitchen chairs, bar stools, as well as reconditioning high end leather that’s worn from its age.
Where is your shop located?
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.
