About JMB Upholstery

JMB Upholstery has spent decades in Canandaigua doing the trim-and-interior work most shops send out: custom auto interiors, convertible and landau tops, headliner repair, and specialty seats for motorcycles, ATVs, boats and aircraft. Around that core it has added the modern protection menu: paint protection film, ceramic coating, vinyl wraps, window tint and detailing, so the same shop handles both the inside and the outside of a vehicle. The upholstery side is the part worth understanding, because it is a genuine craft and a shrinking one. A convertible top is not a bolt-on part; it is cut, fitted and stitched to the specific car, tensioned so it seals against wind and water and folds without bunching, and a top installed loosely leaks and flaps within a season. A headliner is the opposite problem: the fabric sagging off the roof of an older car is the foam backing crumbling, and re-covering it means dropping the whole panel, stripping it, and re-glueing new material without a wrinkle. The specialty seat work is where the trade gets interesting. A custom motorcycle seat is foam shaped to a rider and covered to survive weather; a boat or aircraft cover is cut to a shape no catalog carries. That is knowledge you cannot download, and it is why an upholstery shop of this standing can also, sensibly, wrap and film a car, since the hands that trim an interior are the same ones that lay vinyl clean.

Reputation & Reviews Summary

Customers describe JMB the way people describe a tradesperson they have found and intend to keep. The interior and top work draws the most comment, usually for a repair that came back looking factory rather than patched, and several mention bringing in an older or unusual vehicle that other shops would not touch. The breadth surprises people in a good way: reviewers arrive for a headliner or a seat and learn the same shop can tint the glass or coat the paint. The top and interior work in particular keeps older and collectible cars on the road, the kind of job a franchise detailer waves off, which is why the shops regulars tend to be owners of vehicles worth keeping right. The through-line is craftsmanship and a straight quote, the reputation a small shop builds over the years by doing the awkward jobs well.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does JMB install and repair convertible tops?

Yes. Convertible and landau tops are core work: cut, fitted and tensioned to the specific car so the top seals against wind and water and folds without bunching.

Can you fix a sagging headliner?

Yes. A sagging headliner is the foam backing crumbling; the fix is dropping the whole panel, stripping it, and re-covering it with new material glued down without a wrinkle.

Do you make custom seats for motorcycles or boats?

Yes, custom motorcycle and ATV seats, plus boat and aircraft covers and seating, shaped and covered to fit rather than pulled from a catalog.

Does an upholstery shop really do PPF and wraps too?

It does. Paint protection film, ceramic coating, vinyl wraps, window tint and detailing sit alongside the interior work, and the same careful hands that trim an interior lay vinyl and film clean.

Where is JMB and how long have they been open?

On North Street in Canandaigua, NY, with decades in business, open weekdays 8am to 5pm.
