Tom Harrar has been delivering expert upholstery craftsmanship since 1983, when he launched Thomas D. Harrar Custom Upholstery at just 20 years old in Lansdale, Pennsylvania. With decades of hands-on experience, Tom has built a reputation for precision, quality, and attention to detail in every piece he creates.
Serving clients across Montgomery, Berks, Bucks, and Chester counties, Tom specializes in custom upholstery tailored to each client’s vision. He works closely with homeowners and interior designers to bring concepts to life with accuracy and care. His work includes custom headboards, cornices, bed frames, and one-of-a-kind ottomans, benches, stools, chair seats, and more.
Known for his dedication to fine craftsmanship and personalized services, Tom takes pride in transforming ideas into timeless and functional pieces.
Tom expanded his work into embroidery in 2021, bringing the same precision to every design. What began as a natural extension to his upholstery expertise has grown into a trusted service for universities, athletic teams, small businesses, and individuals. He specializes in high-quality, personalized embroidery on apparel including t-shirts, sweatshirts, jackets, and more. Whether it’s outfitting a team, branding a business, or creating custom pieces for personal use, each item ensures a clean, professional finish that lasts.
A Montgomery County native, Tom now resides in Pottstown, Pennsylvania with his wife, Debbie. He is a proud father of three – Brandon, Holly, and Morgan.
