Where We Began:

OUR JOURNEY

Restwell Upholstering has deep roots in the Peterborough area, starting all the way back in 1945 with the Peltz brothers: Bill, Bob, and Ron. Mentored by their father Harold, each brought their own strengths - bookkeeping, sales, sewing, and of course, upholstery. Their original location on Simcoe Street (near the old firehall) was just the beginning. As demand increased, the shop moved to what was then a quiet dirt road in Downer's Corners, eventually expanding to a two-story facility and a team of 15 by the early 1990's. How time's have changed! Through decades of hard work, the Peltz family built a legacy of skill, dedication, and family values that continues to shape our work today.

How We've Grown:

OUR JOURNEY

In 2008, long-time employees Kerri Rogers and her husband Randy took over as owners, keeping the business in trusted hands from one family to another. Just a few years later in 2013, we packed up from our cozy spot at Lansdowne and Ashburnham and moved into a larger space on The Parkway where we remain today. That gave us more room to grow! With more space and more staff, we have been able to expand our services and keep up with the amazing support we've received over the years. Through it all, we've stayed a family business at heart - serving yours with quality, care, and craftsmanship.

Words cannot describe how absolutely happy we are with my fathers 55 year old chairs. Memories abound. I will be posting this to facebook with a very honourable mention to Restwell Upholstery!

Staff were extremely helpful with suggestions when we were trying to find the right fabric for our dining room chairs. When the job was done, they had taken great care to place the pattern just right! They look wonderful now.
