VISION
Residential and commercial upholstery work is varied, from antiques to contemporary furniture; Hughey Hartman Upholstery does it all, and usually within two weeks!
Each piece is carefully torn down, bases are retied, cording is cut on a bias, and skirts are lined. Only top notch supplies are used;
in general, each piece is put back better than new! Custom upholstery is the way to go for your valuable furniture.
Custom furniture-building is what sets Hughey Hartman Upholstery apart from most of the shops in town.
Our design team has the capabilities to design individual custom pieces and uses only the very best in foam and supplies.
Upholstery is the strong suit of Hughey Hartman Upholstery, but our company is also known for furniture and carpet cleaning.
Larry has been cleaning for 49 years and has the latest in extraction equipment and chemicals.
Furniture reupholstery/restoration is one of the few hand-skilled professions that is alive and well in the 21st Century.
Recycling quality furniture will bring much pleasure as it is transformed into something “new”.
So, if you have a lumpy old sofa or a frayed chair that’s beginning to shed its stuffing,
take another look before dismissing it as a “has been”; it could be the beginning of a beautiful new addition to your decor.
MISSION
for the central Indiana area. We value our team and suppliers.
Following a tradition of superior workmanship and always exploring new techniques,
Hughey Hartman stays abreast of the latest power tools and supplies to provide excellent
value in upholstery and cleaning.
History of a 100 year old family business.
1921
Ernest Hartman and Lucille Hartman. Ernest use to cane furniture. Lucille was the sewing person. They are my grandparents. They lived on the White River. I have fond memories of my grandparents. I will never forget Grandpa took me fishing on their pontoon boat right by their house. I caught a very big crappie. When we got back to their house he mounted the fish head on a piece of wood and gave it too me. Life was different back in “The Old Days!”

1990
Larry started Larry Hughey’s Interior Refurbishing in 1990. Home based for ten years and moved his company down to his father’s plant at 5335 Winthrop Ave. in 2001. Larry moved his shop in August 2010 to our Carmel location. Larry’s first big commercial job was with American States Insurance which is now called Safeco. Larry recovered steelcase office panels for 1 year and 8 months. This was great start to his business and gave Larry a good understanding about production.
1962
My father bought the Upholstery business from my grandpa because he thought he had a better way to tag furniture and had ideas to improve the work flow. My father taught me many valuable lessons about business and life. His moto’s were simple but stay with me on a daily basis.
