We are
Betty and Richard Hanson. We have operated an upholstery
shop for more than 30 years in the same location. During
that time we have taught the do-it-yourself upholstery
classes at the local Junior College adult continuing
education program for 4 years. The upholstery class was one
of the most popular classes that the Junior College offered
at that time. We had 4 and sometimes 5 classes a week.
After 4 years it became so time consuming that we didn’t
have time to teach the upholstery classes and run our
upholstery business.
But
teaching upholstery didn’t stop there. We have continued to
get calls throughout the years from people wanting to buy
supplies and asking for advice on completing their
reupholstery project. We have always answered their
questions. You may think that this is not a very smart
business practice because we would be taking business away
from ourselves. However, we have found that by helping
these people, they recommended us to their families and
friends. And because of this we have had to turn down
business. Because there is only so much work a two-person
shop can do.
We mainly
do residential and commercial furniture. We have done and
continue to do jobs for restaurants, hospitals. offices,
courtrooms, jury rooms, and interior designers.
