Our History

About the Business

EC Robinson Upholstery is a third generation, local, family owned business known for its quality craftsmanship and service.  


EC Robinson Upholstery began in 1938 when Jacob Robinson started the business from his home workshop in North Arlington. Later, he and his son E.C. Robinson, Sr. opened up Robinson & Son Upholstery in Arlington. After his father, Jacob Robinson retired, his son renamed the business EC Robinson Upholstery and moved the business to Mount Vernon Avenue in the Del Ray, Alexandria neighborhood where it thrived for 16 years. E.C. Robinson Sr's son E.C. Robinson, Jr. took over the business in 2008. Under his leadership, the business has expanded. We are currently in business in Alexandria, Virginia. We look forward to speaking to you soon! Give EC a call, or send an email.
