About Us

Top Stitch is a well respected upholstery shop in Southwest Florida. Since 1995, they have been specializing in marine, home, automotive, and commercial upholstery. Their notable skill in upholstery has earned them a reputation as one of Southwest Florida's premiere upholstery shops.

Originally from Syracuse, NY, Tim and Laurie Gallagher have always had a passion for superior upholstery. Laurie's father, Joseph Windhausen, started the family in the upholstery business in the 1960's when he opened his shop in Syracuse called Valley Upholstery. Upon his untimely passing in 1981, Tim and Laurie continued the business under the name Gallagher Upholstery. They ran that business until 1994 when they relocated to Southwest Florida. Then in 1995 they bought Gulf Star Upholstery in Fort Myers Beach and renamed it Top Stitch Upholstery Inc.

Top Stitch's passion for upholstery and canvas is reflected in the outstanding finished products that they create. An ability to collaborate with their clients have earned Top Stitch a well deserved reputation as  true professionals.
