my name is Rick. I would like to welcome you to Catalina Custom Upholstery.
Thank you for visiting. I have been serving the greater Tampa Bay area with
quality crafted upholstery work and excellent service for over 30 years
establishing Catalina Custom Upholstery in 1988. We were at the same location
in north Tampa for over 20 years. Catalina Custom relocated to North Pasco
and has been serving the Nature coast with quality crafted upholstery since
2008. Catalina Custom Upholstery
is here to provide you with upholstery services that include: 
Catalina
Custom Upholstery is doing constant research in the upholstery industry
(with suppliers, manufacturers and other upholsterers) to keep updated in
the latest new materials, new techniques, tips and tricks to be able to
provide the consumer with the best of our abilities in the craft of upholstery.
Another service that
Catalina Custom provides - and it is free - is providing consumers with
ideas about upholstery that can include design ideas or problem solving
when necessary, dealing with the craft of upholstery. With the capabilities
of the extent of how far reaching this website can be on the Internet, Catalina
Custom has been able to help different individuals and companies from other
areas of the country with solutions and recommendations. Also, with the
extent of how much information is provided on this website, it is hoped
that the consumer will become better educated in the craft of upholstery.
It is our belief that an educated consumer is a consumer that knows how
to spend their money wisely. One of our mottos is: "Cheap money is
not necessarily wise money".
Another motto of ours
is: "No job is too small". I have read about other shops that
are so busy with big projects that they have stated that they don't have
time to take small jobs. We highly disagree with this philosophy. We believe
that a small job is a job that is very important to that consumer to solve.
We like the idea of small jobs to be able to head off bigger problems in
the future (fixing a small tear in a seat to alleviate bigger tears in the
future with major foam damage or sewing a seam, patching a hole or installing
a new slide in a zipper in a Bimini top to get more years of service). It
is very easy to exaggerate a problem to make it seem bigger than what it
is for the benefit of the shop. It is better to start out addressing a problem
or project dealing in the least expensive or least complicated way to accomplish
it and then working up.
With over 30 years
experience, there has been a lot of projects accomplished, a lot of changes
witnessed and a lot of knowledge gained. Some of this is reflected in the
Showcase Gallery section of this website. Some of the projects depicted
are very recent and some are over 30 years old. All of the photos depicting
projects were taken by me and show the actual projects done by Catalina
Custom Upholstery.
With my personal convictions
on how I approach my craft (Col 3:23), I will do my best to provide customers
with upholstery service to the best of my abilities with fair pricing.
It is hoped that you
will find this website useful in gaining knowledge in upholstery and / or
using our Showcase Gallery to judge our skills and our Services section
to judge our knowledge. For further information please contact us.
Thanks again for stopping
by, and hey.....
