Our restoration workshop filled with antique furniture in various stages of completion

A Passion for Preservation

Action Awning & Upholstery began with a simple belief: every piece of antique furniture has a story worth preserving. What started as a small workshop focused on awning and upholstery repairs has evolved into Yuma's premier destination for antique restoration and revival.

Over the years, we've had the privilege of restoring everything from Victorian drawing-room sets to mid-century modern classics. Each project reinforces our commitment to quality, authenticity, and the people who trust us with their treasured pieces.

Our shop on South 3rd Avenue has become something of a local institution — a place where collectors, families, and estate managers bring their most cherished furniture with confidence that it will receive expert care.

We don't just repair furniture. We preserve family memories, honor historical craftsmanship, and ensure that future generations can enjoy what previous generations loved. That's the real value of what we do.

The Principles That Guide Our Work

Patience Over Speed

Good restoration can't be rushed. We take the time to understand each piece's construction, materials, and history before making any decisions. This patience is what separates proper restoration from quick fixes.

Authentic Materials

We source period-appropriate hardware, reproduction pieces, and traditional materials whenever possible. Your restored antique should look and feel authentic — not like a modern repair job.

Respect for History

Every scratch, join, and finish tells a story. We preserve original patina when appropriate and always consult with owners about their preferences regarding restoration versus preservation.

The Craftspeople Behind the Craft

Our team combines decades of hands-on experience with genuine enthusiasm for antique furniture. Each member brings unique skills that complement our collective expertise.
