Slash-Coleman-RVA-Gym-Medical-Upholstery
Hi, I’m Slash Coleman. I share a name with a famous guitarist and a symbol found in grammar books. It's the perfect name for a guy who does upholstery. I specialize in on-site gym upholstery in Richmond, Virginia which means I travel with all the tools I need to work at your location. Both my grandfather's owned sewing machines. One was a tailor at Miller & Rhodes and the other taught upholstery at St. Emma's Military Academy in Powhatan. My family has owned “Tinkers” on Westwood Avenue for over 40 years and I grew up in the family business. I’ve kept my upholstery business small on purpose. This means I’m free to complete your work soon after your initial call. And when you call, you’ll speak directly to me.

How Does On-site Upholstery Work?
I'm a mobile upholsterer which means I stay on the premises of your gym or office and only work on one piece of equipment at a time. My set-up is small enough to fit on a standard office desk: I travel with my Sailrite sewing machine, an electric staple gun, your fabric and a small bag. The only thing I need is space in a low traffic area, a chair, a trash can and an outlet. I'm used to working around patrons in busy gyms during regular business hours, enjoy listening to the "I once I had a sewing machine" stories, and depending on the size of the job, I can remove and reupholster most gym pads in about 15 minutes.
Buy New or Choose ReUpholstery?
Before the downturn reupholstery was done mainly to prolong the life of a business investment, but with recent COVID concerns, gyms, clinics, dental offices and hospitals are looking for ways to ensure the health and safety of patients, visitors, and staff. Infection control is no joke. A simple rip or tear in surface upholstery can lead to bacterial or viral contamination of the underlying foam padding and  transfer  from patient to patient. Why take a chance; It costs far less to reupholster a gym pad or a patient exam table than it does to replace it.

PHYSICAL THERAPY UPHOLSTERY

New Cost Effective Choices

Recent advances in healthcare grade vinyl have helped create surfaces that are more resistant to damage. Got a table that's been around since the Stone Age? Up-cycling simply isn’t a practical choice, it's a cost-effective solution that will last. #LifestylePT​

Customization Impacts Health

Table color is more than an aesthetic option when you consider that we spend 1/3 of our lives at work. It's an important choice. Picking the color you want goes a long way in affecting your concentration, stress levels and mood. #PhysicalTherapyClinic

An Eco-Friendly Alternative

Sustainability is pretty easy these days, especially when it comes to your old table. It’s common for an older table to outlast a new one ​and by opting to get yours reupholstered you're  investing in a future we can all feel good about. #PhysicalTherapyLife

DENTAL UPHOLSTERY

I have experience reupholstering most, if not all, common adult dental patient chairs, pediatric dental chairs, doctor stools, assistant stools, medical tables and waiting room furniture including, but not limited to brands like: Boyd, Kavo, Belmont, Dental-Ez, Healthco, Marus, Royal, A-dec, Pelton and Crane, Ritter Dental, Henry Schein, and Chayes Virginia.

My set-up is small enough to fit in the tiniest dental bay and since I typically schedule work during the weekend (when your office is closed) I'm able to service your dental equipment with little-to-no downtime and minimal disruption to your office.

Replacing the upholstery on your chairs is an inexpensive way to give your office a quick, economical face lift, and improve the comfort level of your patients. #Dentistlife #Dentalcare #SmileMakeover

MEDICAL UPHOLSTERY

medical-patient-bed-upholstery
Lateral pads on this particular brand of patient bed show signs of wear, collect dust, germs and microbes and need to be replaced often.
medical-upholstery-rva-pediatric-table
This pediatric phlebotomy table was reupholstered with a healthcare grade vinyl equipped with antimicrobial properties to kill a variety of germs.
patient-chair-medical-upholstery-hospital
The most obvious reason why a hospital chooses repair over replacement? Cost. These patient chairs were reupholstered at a fraction of the replacement cost.
I have experience reupholstering most, if not all, common medical tables and patient chairs including, but not limited to brands like: Armedica, Brewer, Bailey, Clinton, Midmark, Reliance and Ritter. Since 2007, I've worked with maintenance and facility directors at hospitals and individual offices to provide a money saving alternative to replacing healthcare equipment.
Discontinued? We Can Help: Medical equipment is built to last. Unfortunately, this often means exam tables, procedure chairs and other healthcare equipment typically outlives the life of the manufacturer. If you find yourself in this situation, let us help. Our "mail-it-in" service is easy and allows us to recover your equipment at our facility and mail it back to you. 

GYM UPHOLSTERY

 In business since 2007, below are photos that include a glimpse into some of the custom onsite upholstery work I've completed at various gyms and fitness centers. During every visit, I complete a thorough walk-through of your facility to help determine which pads need to be replaced, which ones can be re-covered and which ones might require a cost-effective removable sleeve. I'm happy to work within any budget and complete as much or as little work as you require.
