Sharpe’s Church Interiors · Dunn, NC · 48 states
Church pew upholstery and sanctuary flooring, in-house. One family, one schedule, one number. We take the pressure off the committee and give the room back to the people who sit there.
Unique value
Committees don’t hire a website. They hire the crew that will be in the sanctuary between Sundays.
01 — The press
New pews leave a factory looking tight because they were pressed, not just covered. We went there, learned that press, scaled it down, and built one we could take with us. It works on just about every pew.

02 — Four-way stretch
Two-way fabric fights every corner and sags in a few seasons. Four-way stretch wraps the bullnose, the end panel, and the crown without a pucker.

03 — In-house only
Other companies take the order and hire an upholstery shop. We don't. The people who quote you are the people in your sanctuary.

All services
Worship tech, specified with the room
Sanctuary AVL that respects the architecture — speakers, lighting, and screens designed with pews, paint, and sightlines.
In-house flooring crew
Carpet, carpet tile, and LVT installed by Sharpe's employees — the week after the pews, never a Sunday missed.
Walls that match the pews
Sanctuary paint and plaster repair, scheduled around Sunday, with pews and furnishings covered. Sherwin-Williams Cashmere, specified with the designer.
On-site factory press
We learned the factory press, scaled it down, and built our own. It works on just about every pew. Four-way stretch fabric. Lifetime warranty.
See the room before you vote
On-site consult, three colorways, three sanctuary views each. The committee votes on pictures, not swatches on a folding table.
Custom-built, not catalog
New pews to your length, layout, wood, stain, and upholstery. Factory press finish — the same standard we bring on site for historic pews.
Hand-delivered, nationwide
Custom cushions in nylon and commercial fabrics, 2.0 or 2.8 lb foam. We hand-deliver and fit them — we do not ship a box.
On-site wood refresh
Clean, blend, and oil the exposed wood while the pews are already in our hands. The best time is during upholstery.
Windows in the same project
Restoration and new stained glass coordinated with sanctuary paint, pew fabric, and daylight.
More seats, same footprint
Commercial auditorium seats, stain-resistant fabrics, and pew-and-theater combinations. We bring samples to the church.
Three packages
Restore is pews only. Core adds our in-house flooring crew. Masterpiece is pews, wood, floor, paint, and designer renderings.
Pews done right
On-site reupholstery with our factory press and 4-way stretch fabric. Your pews look new. The rest of the room stays as-is.
Flooring, paint, and design renderings are not included.
Quote RestoreThe finished sanctuary
Recommended
One decision. One crew family. Pews, wood, flooring, paint, and designer renderings — so the committee only votes once.
Sanctuary refresh
Pews and flooring by our in-house crews in one mobilization. The room looks cared for. Walls and lighting still wait.
Paint and full 3D renderings are not included.
Quote CoreThe work
Churches keep their pews — the ones families have sat in for generations — and get a factory finish. About one-third the cost of new pews of equal quality.
“The quality was top-notch — no complaints from anyone. I wholeheartedly recommend them.”
Sharpe’s Church Interiors is a veteran-owned, family-run company in Dunn, North Carolina. We help churches in all 48 contiguous states plan and finish beautiful sanctuaries with expert church pew upholstery, flooring and design. Here is what sets us apart:
In other words, your committee works with one company and one schedule, from the first design consultation to the final walkthrough. You never have to juggle an upholsterer, a carpet installer and a painter who have never met. Instead, one team carries the plan from start to finish. And we plan every step so your church never misses a Sunday.
Our interior design service starts with an on-site consultation. We coordinate pew fabric, wood stain, wall color and carpet so the whole sanctuary works together. Then we show three colorways with three sanctuary views each. As a result, the committee votes on pictures of its own room instead of swatches on a folding table.
A turnkey sanctuary makeover brings pews, wood, flooring, paint and designer renderings together in one project. Because one company handles all of it, the committee only votes once. Our Masterpiece package covers everything, and most churches choose it so they only mobilize a crew once. If you want to begin more simply, Restore is pews only, and Core adds our in-house flooring crew.
Our upholstery service for church pews is done on-site with a mobile press we built ourselves. New pews look tight because they were pressed at the factory, not just covered. So we studied that factory press, scaled it down and built one we can bring to your church. It works on just about every pew. The result is the crisp, tailored look of a new pew without the cost of replacing the whole frame.
We also use four-way stretch commercial fabric over high-density foam. Two-way fabric fights every corner and can sag in a few seasons. Four-way stretch, on the other hand, wraps the bullnose, the end panel and the crown without a pucker.
Our church carpet and flooring crew installs carpet, carpet tile and LVT. They are Sharpe’s employees, not subcontractors. Typically, flooring goes in the week after the pews are finished. Because the same company plans both jobs, the carpet color is chosen with the pew fabric in mind. That way, the aisles and the pews look like they were made for each other.
While the pews are already in our hands, we can clean, blend and oil the exposed wood. That is why upholstery is the best time for pew refinishing. One honest limit: we cannot refinish existing pews lighter than the stain already on them.
We also offer custom pew cushions, new pews, church painting, stained glass, audio, video and lighting and theater seating.
Most committees have never managed a sanctuary project before. Here is what to expect, step by step.
Finally, a dedicated project manager stays with you through the final walkthrough.
Many companies take the order for church pew upholstery and then hire an upholstery shop or a carpet installer. We don’t. Both our upholstery crew and our carpet crew are Sharpe’s employees. So the people who design and quote your project are the same people who show up in your sanctuary.
That matters for three reasons. First, there is one superintendent, one warranty and one number in Dunn. Second, pews and flooring are scheduled together instead of across separate contractors. Third, quality stays in our hands from start to finish.
We also stand behind the work with a real warranty. We offer a lifetime workmanship warranty on pew upholstery and 25 years on flooring workmanship. If a seam is not right, you call Dunn, and Bryan’s crew comes back to make it right.
As a family-run and veteran-owned company, we keep things personal. You talk to the family that runs the crews, not a call center. We are also BBB A+ accredited, so you can check our record before you ever sign a quote.
Our reach is nationwide. We work in all 48 contiguous states, and we hand-deliver and fit cushions instead of shipping a box. Wherever your church is, the same people who quoted the job are the ones who finish it.
Finally, there is real value in keeping what you have. Reupholstering usually costs about one-third as much as new pews of equal quality. Just as important, families keep the pews they have sat in for generations, now with fresh fabric and firm new foam.
“The quality was top-notch, no complaints from anyone. I wholeheartedly recommend them.”
Cy Grant, Financial Secretary, New Ahoskie Baptist Church
We have recently reupholstered seats and backs at Zoan Baptist Church in Fredericksburg, VA. In addition, we refurbished burgundy pews in gray fabric in Cherryville, NC, and completed pew upholstery in Mt. Pleasant, SC. Other recent jobs include East Side Baptist Church in Thomasville, GA, a full sanctuary makeover with new carpet in Victoria, TX, pews in Phoenix, AZ, and synagogue pews in New Jersey.
Every one of these jobs was handled by our own crews. Each church got the same careful measuring, the same commercial fabric and the same on-site press. Those details are why church pew upholstery from Sharpe’s still looks tight years after the install.

It typically runs $25 to $60 per linear foot. The price depends on whether you cover seats, backs or both, and on the body style of the pew. See our full FAQ for more.
Materials usually take 12 to 16 weeks. After that, on-site pew work takes about 3 days to 2 weeks. If you add flooring, it normally follows the next week.
No. The press, the flooring crew and the painters are all scheduled between services.
