Custom furniture · Reupholstery · Atlanta since the early 2000s

Fast & Great.Both, on the same job.

Holger Mejia's Howell Mill workshop is where Atlanta designers and homeowners bring the hard jobs — oversized drapes, worn leather, marine cushions, one-off custom pieces — and get them back quickly and done right. It's the promise in the name, and customers keep confirming both halves.

01 / 06What we do
Residential & commercial upholstery

A workshop for the jobs other shops turn down

Everything is quote-based custom work — tell us the piece and the fabric, and Holger's team gives you an honest price and a real timeline.

Reupholstery & repairs

Sofas, chairs, sectionals, leather couches and cushions rebuilt and recovered — frames, foam, seams and all.

Custom furniture

One-off benches, headboards, banquettes and built pieces made to your dimensions and materials.

Draperies & window treatments

Custom draperies, valances, cornice boxes and Roman shades — including oversized, heavy panels.

Auto & marine upholstery

Boat and marine cushions, cabin interiors and automobile seating re-covered to hold up to real use.

Wall upholstery & commercial

Upholstered walls, restaurant booths and bars for designers, offices and hospitality spaces.

Restoration & finishing

Antique furniture restoration plus wood finishing and repair — caring for pieces responsibly.

Also: slipcovers, cushions, pillows, lampshades, table covers and bed coverings. Not sure if it fits? Ask — it usually does.

02 / 06Materials & craft
From bolt to finished piece

Any fabric, any pattern, welded to a proper frame

Navy velvet
Quatrefoil
Herringbone
Brass trim
Linen weave
Indigo

Worn → restored

Tired leather couches and dated sofas come back structurally sound and looking new — the kind of turnaround one customer said left them “no longer embarrassed.”

Designer collaborations

Interior designers hand over the complicated pieces — heavy custom drapes, benches drawn from a sketch — and get them measured twice and delivered installed.

Marine & auto

Boat salon cushions and cabin interiors rebuilt to survive sun and water — a specialty most upholstery shops won't touch.

The panels above are illustrative. See real finished pieces and before/afters on their Instagram @fgupholstery and portfolio.

03 / 06The workshop
Led by Holger Mejia

A 20-year master, and a team that sweats the details

Fast & Great Upholstery has more than two decades in the upholstery trade, private and commercial. Owner Holger Mejia leads a team of master upholsterers who, in the shop's own words, “pay attention to every detail” — and stand behind the work they send out.

The Howell Mill warehouse is fully equipped with traditional upholstery tools and machines, so hard materials and oversized pieces stay in-house from teardown to delivery. Customers describe Holger as hands-on: he'll draw out your vision, ask the clarifying questions, and let you drop by with fabric samples.

I was shocked to see any bad reviews at all based on the experience that I have had on numerous occasions. The pictured items have all been reupholstered by Holger.
